Tips
Senior Photo Session Tips
Appointment Time
Please arrive on time for your appointment.
Makeup
We advise you wear your makeup in your normal style. Simply apply it slightly heavier than normal. Note: Avoid makeup with an SPF in it. Although it is good for your skin in the sun, the SPF tends to create a shine. You can further control shine by using a translucent powder.
Hair
Avoid changing your hairstyle or cutting your hair right before your session. Haircuts should be made at least a week before your appointment. If you color your hair, do not forget your roots! Highlights should be touched up approximately one to two weeks before your session. Quick easy hairstyle changes during your session are OK. More clothing changes and hair changes less time taking pictures.
When it Rains it Pours
We cannot predict the weather. Do not worry if it rains on your scheduled session day. We will reschedule your session or allow you to trade its value for digital effects.
Breakout Blues
No need to fret; all of your finished portraits will be retouched so don’t worry if your complexion breaks out right before your session.
Got Bronze
We warn you not to over-do the tanning bed or sun. Your skin will have a natural luster and color if you let it rest from tanning for three days before your session.
Accessories Accessories Accessories
Do accessorize. Hats, scarves, jewelry, boots, jackets, belts, and coats make stylish additions to your outfits.
More Accessories and Props
Personal props can help to visually define you. Some examples are: sports equipment, musical instruments, pennants, stuffed animals, hunting equipment, skateboards, uniforms, and collectibles.
A Closet full of Shoes
We know that there are a lot of cool shoes out there, but we know many of your favorite shots will be concentrated on your face. A lot of other shots will be focused from the waist up. Shoes simply will not show in every shot so don’t look for shoes on every outfit.
