Senior Portraits- What to wear?! / Los Altos Senior Portrait Photographer
Wondering what to wear for your senior portrait session? Don’t worry, I got you covered! Here are a few things to think about when planning for your session:
If you wouldn’t wear it on a “normal” day, don’t wear it to your photo session! Your senior portraits should reflect YOU and YOUR style. If you would never wear a mini skirt and a crop top then SKIP IT! I promise you won’t feel comfortable in it and your photos will reflect that. If you would normally wear jean shorts, converse and a tank top, then GO FOR IT!
Wear what you LOVE. Have a favorite shirt? Wear it. Have a favorite dress? Wear it. Have a favorite necklace or hat? Wear it. Have a favorite pair of cowgirl boots and a sequin top? Wear it. You will naturally feel comfortable and happy in clothes that you love. Your photos will easily reflect that.
Keep in mind that BOLD colors always photograph well. Having color on your clothing helps the photo to really “pop” from the background.
Textures and layers are a great idea. Wearing a denim jacket, scarf or a waffle knit cardigan add dimension to the photo and can be taken off or put on for different looks.
Always bring 2-3 shirt or outfit changes. I always recommend changing at least once to add variety to the final album.
Here is an example of a senior wearing what she loves! She had three outfit changes and each style was authentic to her true self.
