What to Wear – Senior Photo Sessions

What to Wear – Senior Photo Sessions

Need help figuring out What to Wear for your Senior Photo Session?

You’ve booked your photo session and chosen your location. The next step is to figure out what you want to wear to your Senior Photo Session. Here are some easy steps to take:

    Pick your colors

    Discover your best color palette

    I like to use the Dressika app or visit the Colorwise website to upload a selfie and see which are my best colors. There are also lots of paid versions or consultants you can hire.

    You can also use your color palette to help pick makeup in complementary colors. 

    Made a mood board

    Create a Pinterest board of outfits

    You can use Pinterest like a search engine. Type in what you’re looking for:

    ex. Fall outfits for High School Senior Photos *

    Then you can shop directly from the site or just use it for outfit inspiration.

    * Keep in mind what season your photo session will fall into. 

    Shop your Closet

    Go through your closet

    Once you have a sense of what colors look best on you and what outfit combinations you like, check your own closet first to start building your Senior Photo Session wardrobe.

    And if that doesn’t work, then go shopping.

    All Stephanie Friedman Senior Photo Sessions include three outfits. I recommend something casual, something dressy and something that represents your high school interests (like a sports uniform or dance costume).
