What do I wear for my senior photoshoot?

During your consultation, I will help you choose clothing that makes you look and feel your best. Consider bringing a few different outfits to the photoshoot to have variety in your photos. This can include casual wear, dressier outfits, and any special clothing that represents your hobbies or interests. Having a mix of dressy and casual outfits will provide a variety in your pictures. Dressy outfits can be great for capturing elegant and sophisticated shots, while casual outfits can showcase your relaxed and fun side. Another unique addition would be a college shirt to reveal the school you have chosen to attend past high school or your cap and gown to celebrate your graduation.

When is the best time to take senior photos?

Most high schoolers choose to have their senior pictures taken during the summer before their senior year begins. However, senior photoshoots can be taken at any time of the year, depending on the look you're seeking. Many seniors love the warm, vibrant colors of fall and prefer that season, while others wait until spring to include cap and gown photos along with college reveal pictures. Ultimately, it depends on the individual senior and their preferences.

Can I include my dog in my graduation pictures?
