1. Choose a variety of outfits. It's a good idea to include both casual and more formal outfits for your senior portraits. You choose a couple and let Mom choose one ore two, that way everyone is happy.
2. Your face should be the focal point in your portrait. Get a good night sleep and keep your makeup as you normally wear it is good, but be sure to bring your makeup and hairbrush the day of your session. You'll most likely need to touch up before the session begins.
3. Long sleeve solids or very subtle prints are usually the most flattering in portraits. Busy patterns and loud colours can be very districting in your portraits.Medium to dark clothes look best on dark backgrounds, medium to light colours look the best on lighter backgrounds, and earth tones tend to work best in outdoor settings.
4. Jewelry should be simple, however, if you are changing outfits, be sure not to forget your other jewelry. If you wear a watch, take it off before the session or leave it at home.
5. Traditional styles will keep your portrait looking fresh for years to come.
6. Some poses will show your shoes, so don't forget to bring shoes and socks for each outfit.
7. Props can help to show your personality so be sure to bring some. Such as musical instruments, sports uniforms, equipment, hats, stuffed animals, sunglasses, pets or anything else you can think of.
