Once you’re booked on my calendar, we’ll jump right into planning and preparing for your senior photos. From outfits and accessories to locations and the overall vibe… I love this part of the senior photography experience! 

As a senior photographer here at SJP, my top priority is to provide seniors and clients with a memorable and light-hearted experience. If you’re looking for an exciting and enjoyable time where I make you feel like a superstar, you’ve come to the right place!

To ensure a smooth and successful senior portrait session, there are a few things we need to do to prep for your senior session. Things like talking through the location, makeup, outfits, and more. It’s important to be ready to communicate with me leading up to your session date, so we can make sure everything runs seamlessly on the day of your photoshoot. I promise all the planning pays off for the most unforgettable and unique senior photos! Another note here – please please please don’t be scared to ask if we can make any of your ideas happen! Share your ideas with me as we start communicating and brainstorming for your session. I want these images to reflect who you are – what makes you YOU in this point in time of your life. ⁣⁣

Before your session, take the time to – you guessed it – prepare yourself. Let’s start with outfits… Picking your senior session outfits is no easy feat! You have to consider styles, trends, and yes… Colors! What colors suit you best? Make your eyes pop? Compliment your skin tone? ⁣⁣Start thinking about these things before your style consult and as you pull outfits and accessories to bring to your style consult. On the day of your session, make sure your clothes are steamed and ironed, and have all your pieces (shoes, accessories, etc.) sorted and packed the day before. There’s nothing worse than realizing you left your shoes or a shirt behind!

Lastly, it’s essential to show up ready and in a positive mood. Get plenty of rest, eat well, and stay hydrated. The energy you bring to the table can truly impact the entire photoshoot, so take care of yourself physically and emotionally. The fun thing about your senior portrait session is that it’s all about YOU! Dream big for your session and show up pumped and ready to celebrate your high school senior milestone. 

With these tips for preparing for your senior photos in mind, get ready to have a fantastic and memorable experience during your senior photoshoot! Let’s capture amazing moments together.

As I sign off from the blog today, I have to share what’s on my heart… Senior photos capture who you are at this point and time in your life. You will never be a high school senior again! Take advantage of this exciting time of your life, make some memories, and celebrate yourself in every way! These are memories you’ll want to have to look back on for years to come.⁣⁣⁣⁣
