Suggestions for Senior Pictures

The first thing you need to do is find a good photographer. It is important to find a photographer that can properly light and pose you, but more importantly someone that you can feel comfortable around. The photographer also needs to have studio backdrops that are in style with today's fashion trends. You want to find someone that has a wide variety of backdrop and location options so you and your friend's senior pictures don't all look the same.

Once you have a great photographer you need to talk to them about locations near you that would work well for your session. You don't want to try to fit too many different locations into a short time amount so you don't feel rushed.

Clothing is very important. Keep it simple and have a wide variety of colors and styles with you at your photo shoot. It is better to arrive with too many clothes then be sorry you left an article of clothing at home. Girls need to make sure they bring several jewelry and shoe options with you. Another tip for girls is to make sure you finger and toenails are painted clear or a neutral color, so they don't stand out in the pictures. Guys don't get hair cuts the day of your session, it is best to do that a couple days before.

Your photographer should ask you about your interests and suggest you bring items that show those with your to your session. This will help make sure your personality and your passions are evident in your portrait.

Don't bring people with you to your session that you aren't comfortable around. Parents and best friends are usually the best people to have with you during your senior session. They can help you obtain that natural smile and help make memories that will last a lifetime.
