What to Wear (and What to Expect): Our Senior Style Guide

One of the most common questions we get from seniors and their parents is simple: "What do I even wear?"

It's a bigger question than it sounds like. Your senior session is a snapshot of exactly who you are right now, and what you wear should feel like you — not like a costume, and not like everyone else's session on Instagram. So instead of leaving that to guesswork, every senior who books with us receives our Senior Style Guide: a full styling and prep resource built to take the stress out of getting ready.

What's Inside the Guide

The Senior Style Guide walks through everything we wish every senior knew before session day — outfit coordination for multiple looks, color palettes that photograph well against different locations (studio, outdoors, downtown, or somewhere as adventurous as a waterfall), tips on hair and makeup timing, and simple guidance on textures and layers that add richness to a photo without competing with your face.

We also send a short client questionnaire alongside the guide, so we can plan your session around your vision — your personality, your interests, the places that mean something to you — before we ever pick a location or a lens.

Why We Do It This Way

Preparation is part of what makes a session feel extraordinary instead of rushed. When a senior walks in already confident about their outfits and already knows what the day will feel like, that confidence shows up in every photo. Our job isn't just to take the picture — it's to help you feel like yourself in it.

Every senior who books receives their Style Guide and questionnaire as soon as their session is confirmed, so you have plenty of time to plan, shop, and get excited — because you should be excited. This is a season worth capturing well.
