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).

      What Senior Photography Style are you?

      What Senior Photography Style are you?

      Your Senior Year. Your Style. Which Senior Photography type fits you best?

      High School Senior photos are important for capturing memories, documenting achievements and letting your parents show you off – their pride and joy.

      If you’re looking for an Austin Senior Photographer, what photography style bests fits your personality? Take a look at the descriptions below and see which one you’re most drawn to.

      what senior photography style are you

      — The Four Styles —

      Photography Style Categories

      • Candid and Natural: This style emphasizes capturing genuine moments and emotions. It’s perfect for students who want a relaxed and authentic look. Usually taken outdoors in natural light. 
      • Editorial: This type of photography looks like a dramatic and stylized high-fashion advertising campaign. Can include special lighting techniques. 
      • Artistic and Creative: This style allows for experimentation with different angles, lighting, and props to create unique and eye-catching images.
      • Classic and Timeless: A more traditional approach that focuses on elegance and sophistication. This might best work for a straightforward yearbook headshot. 

      The photography style will impact the overall look and feel of your photo session.

      examples of a natural photography style

        The majority of my portfolio is in the Natural & Candid style.

        Though I will incorporate the other styles as well. It depends on what outfits, location and props the Senior chooses. 

        “Photographs are kept as a diary without words, and the photographer is a writer of memoirs.”

        Mueller Southwest Greenway – Family + Senior session

        Mueller Southwest Greenway – Family + Senior session

        Class of 2024 High School Senior + Family Portrait Session in the Park

        This Senior + Family Photo Session combination took place at the tail end of wildflower season at Mueller Southwest Greenway in mid-May.

        For this High School Senior, we got photos in his cap and gown as well as his future alma mater t-shirt.

        If you’re also interested in having your Senior Photo Session at the Butterfly Gardens in Mueller Southwest Greenway, check out my essential tips below.

        Tips for Senior Photo Sessions at the Mueller Southwest Greenway:

        • These sessions work best at golden hour (about 1-2 hours before sunset)
        • Wear closed-toed shoes or boots since the grass gets pretty high at peak wildflower season
        • Keep an eye out for bugs, reptiles and other creatures among the fields (we had to move one turtle safely out of the way to get my cart through the walking path to the pond)
        • Plan to meet at the Butterfly Garden’s Rocket Ship (an excellent landmark meeting spot)
        • There is no restroom nearby, so be prepared to change outfits in your car
        • Wildflower season lasts from March – May in a good year

        Please check out some of my favorite images below and contact me if you’d like to book your own Senior session in Austin, Texas. Explore more Senior sessions like Henry’s on my blog.

        1. What prompted you to have this photo session?My mom wanted to have nice photos.
        2. What do you plan to do with your digital photos? I plan to use them for a “Class of 2028” post for UTSA and also just photos that I can refer to in the future. 
        3. How did you choose your location for your session? I personally think Mueller is one of the prettiest neighborhoods in Austin and it is one I’ve become very familiar with (although that said i didn’t choose the location).
        4. What advice would you give to others planning a similar Senior photo session? It‘s hard to make advice for other families because every family has a unique dynamic. That being said do not be afraid to show those parts of who you or your family are (even though I was).
        5. Anything else you’d like to add about working with Stephanie Friedman Photography? There isn’t much I can say that other people haven’t said. She is a true professional in her field and highly proficient at what she does while also being extraordinarily thoughtful and kind.
