The other week we chatted about some wardrobe do’s and don’ts. This week we’re going to touch base on the some things to keep in mind beyond your wardrobe. We are always looking to showcase the best YOU there is, but to do that we require a bit of prep work from you before your session. Take a peek below at some keep tips to help make the most out of your session date.

  • Drink plenty of water the day before and the day of your session! Your skin is your biggest organ and can easily look dull and flat when you miss out on your water intake. Drinking plenty of water on the regular is ideal. But upping that intake the day prior to your session and the day of will ensure a radiant glow for your portraits.
  • Get plenty of rest the night before! We all know too well that pulling an all nighter, staying up till dawn watching your favorite thrillers or giggling with your girlfriends till the early morning hours can really do a number on you. So plan for a full night’s rest the evening before your session. You won’t regret it.
  • Take care of those hands! Easily overlooked, your hands and nails need pampering before your session date too. Prefer not to have them professionally cared for, that’s perfectly ok! Just plan on giving them a good scrub and maybe a clear coat yourself prior to your session.

You have your photographer booked and your session date confirmed… now what? Wardrobe! Picking out the perfect outfits to compliment your style can seem like an overwhelming task. But we’re here to help! We might not have a styling Ph.D, but we’ve photographed a senior or two in our day (ha!) to have a pretty good idea of what works and what doesn’t work. We’ve listed a few tips below to help get you started when it comes to selecting your outfits.

  • Mind your length! Dresses, skirts and shorts are always fun to wear, but be cautious of their length for your photo session. The shorter they are, the fewer posing options we have. Sitting, bending and dancing might have to take a back seat if you choose short options.
  • Think about that cut! Low cut tops or strapless dresses can be tricky and easily rule out a complete look for your yearbook image. If you have a low cut piece you really want to wear, consider pairing it with a big necklace or a light jacket. Removable layers give you more options as your session goes on as well!
  • Don’t shy away from patterns & colors! Get bold with fun colored jeans or a funky patterned dress ~ we love it when our seniors stand out! Keep in mind though, neons and over the top patterns need to be matched with big personalities. So if you bring them be ready to show off your wild sides for us!!
  • Accessorize with layers! An easily overlooked tip is accessorizing with your outfits with layers. This can include anything from jackets to jewels, vests and hats. When you get your prep guide we encourage you to bring a few more pieces than you think you might need. This will give us the option to play around with your styling and switch up your outfits if a location calls for it.

We hope these tips helped! If you’re still feeling a bit worried about your styling, don’t fret. We have a beautiful and genuine team committed to making you look and feel your best on your session date.
