I seem to be getting this question asked a lot lately so I thought I would do a post about it!  I find that a senior session is the best time to really go all out on your wardrobe but it really depends on your personality.  Knowing what your typical style is will help build an amazing wardrobe to bring along to a session.  Bringing different options will give you the best variety when it’s time to view your portraits.

Would you like some examples?  Let’s say you are a girly-girl.  When I think of a girly-girl, I think of ruffles, skirts, high heels, lipstick.  Of course, we all have our own opinions about what a girly-girl would look like but this is just to give you an idea.

I think this outfit below would be super-cute for a session…ruffles, flowers, dress, accesories…lots of details but not too much to take away from YOU!

Okay, so we have a dressy outfit picked out but what about a cute casual outfit?  I think this outfit fits the bill perfectly:

And I really like this casual option too…not as girly but I love the accesories that make this go from boring to beautiful!

Rompers are back in fashion and I just LOVE how ultra girly this outfit looks:

A few guidelines when choosing your outfits:  select clothes that you FEEL GOOD in…if you feel like the outfit isn’t you or if you feel like you are trying too hard to make an outfit look good on you, then don’t bring it!  I want you to feel the best that you can!  Also, choose clothes that are flattering on you.  Sometimes, clothing just doesn’t photograph well and the result is it doesn’t make you look your best!  No matter what, stay true to yourself but also be willing to go out on a limb!
 
Accesories really do make an outfit….I usually would suggest for jewelry to wear a bracelet and earrings or a necklace and earrings.  Sunglasses can be really fun!  And don’t forget about your hair, make sure to bring a headband or a rubberband to pull your hair back.  If you are into hats, whether it’s a cowboy hat or a 40’s inspired hat…bring it along too!
Hope this helps!
