Senior Pictures are a big part of your senior year, and because of that, we want to help you make your photoshoot the best it can be. We have listed a few helpful tips for any guy or girl to prepare for your upcoming senior photoshoot.

Girls:

1. Have the hair stylist show you some easy styles you can do during outfit changes to switch it up a bit. 
2. Practice your makeup the week leading up to your session so you can get it just right the day of. We do offer professional makeup artist services with several of our packages. This is something we strongly suggest you look into for your session.
3. Apply some makeup over the area (not too heavy) and leave it at that. We offer basic retouching, which includes blemish removal; so don’t even worry about it.
4. Get a manicure the day before or day of your session to ensure your nails look their best. Don’t forget that the color needs to match all of your outfits. For this reason, and to keep a clean appearance, we suggest going with the French manicure or just a clear coat of paint.
5. Practice a nice natural smile and cute poses in a mirror or send us over some things we can talk to you about that will help you relax – your favorite movie, your boyfriend, etc.
6. If you are doing a session with your BFF or BF, don’t forget to coordinate an outfit with them so you guys don’t clash.

Guys:

1. Don’t forget to bring matching socks and shoes for each outfit if one pair won’t go along with all of your outfits. 
2. Get a good night’s rest the night before so you can look well rested for your session.
3. Get your hair cut about a week to a week and a half prior to your session.
4. Don’t forget to shave away any stubble from your face and neck prior to your session. 
5. Practice a nice natural smile in a mirror or send us over some things we can talk to you about that will help you relax! 

Both:

1. Choose two to three outfits to wear during your session and lay them out so they are ready to go. Make sure they are clean and wrinkle-free. 
2. Also, don’t forget to pack any accessories you’ll want for each outfit – jewelry, scarves, headbands, etc. Bring matching socks/tights, and shoes for each outfit if one pair won’t go along with all of them.
3. While you’re at it, if you plan on bringing any props – your ballet shoes, favorite book, softball gear, skateboard, football, guitar,  etc. – go ahead and lay that out as well. If you are going to bring your car or truck  to the session and want it to be in photos with you, be sure to wash it the night before/day of your session.
4. Get a good night’s rest the night before so you can look well rested for your session.
5. Get your hair cut about one to two weeks prior to your session. Don’t drastically change it from your normal style in case you don’t like it.
