Are you getting ready for your senior portrait photoshoot but feeling a bit overwhelmed? Don't worry! Here are 10 essential tips to ensure your photo session is a success. Let's dive right in:
1. Mix It Up with Casual and Formal Outfits
Why stick to one style when you can have the best of both worlds? Bring both casual and formal outfits to your senior portrait photoshoot. This way, you can showcase your laid-back vibe and your sophisticated side. Plus, it gives you more options to choose from later!
2. Keep It Wrinkle-Free
Wrinkles are great on puppies, but not so much on clothes. Make sure your outfits are ironed and wrinkle-free before the shoot. A quick run with an iron or a steamer can make a huge difference, so don't skip this step!
3. Go for Subtle, Solid Colors
Solid colors in soft, subtle shades are your best friends. They won't steal the spotlight from your beautiful face and they'll make you pop against any background. Think classic shades like navy, maroon, and forest green.
4. Long Sleeves for the Win
Long sleeves can give your photos a sleek and polished look. They also draw attention to your face, which is where we want the focus to be. So, consider rocking some long-sleeved shirts or blouses.
5. Undergarment Check!
Make sure your undergarments are doing their job without making an appearance. Check that bra straps, undershirts, or any other sneaky pieces aren't peeking out. This will keep your look seamless and worry-free.
6. Glasses Without the Glare
Glasses can be a bit tricky because of glare. If you can, switch to contacts for the day. If that's not an option, no worries! MJO will do her best to adjust the lighting to avoid those pesky reflections.
7. Bring On the Props
Props can add a personal touch to your photos. Whether it's your letter jacket, sports uniform, musical instrument, or even your pet, props help tell your unique story, especially as a graduating senior. Bring along something that represents you!
8. Haircut Timing
Timing is everything with haircuts. Aim to get yours at least a week before the shoot. This gives your hair a chance to settle in and look its best, avoiding that just-cut look.
9. Say No to Sunburn
Sunburns and tan lines are not your friends when it comes to photos. Avoid too much sun in the days leading up to your shoot. If you do get a little too much sun, treat your skin gently with moisturizer to reduce redness.
10. Relax and Have Fun!
This is your moment to shine, so enjoy it! The best photos are the ones where you're relaxed and having fun. Trust your photographer, go with the flow, and let your personality shine through. Remember, these photos are about capturing who you are, so don't be afraid to show it.
With these tips, you're all set to shine in your senior portraits. Remember, the key is to feel comfortable and confident. When you're feeling good, it'll show in your photos, making them memories you'll love looking back on. Go out there and have a blast!
