WHAT SHOULD YOU WEAR?
Planning the perfect wardrobe is extremely important to the outcome of your photos. You want your outfits to reflect you and your personality, but you also want to make sure that they are tied together to help create portraits that you are going to love down the road.
For your wardrobe, please pick 4-5 outfits AT THE MINIMUM! Honestly, if you don’t know what to bring, bring it all! It is better to have to much to pick from than have too little.
Avoid bringing clothes that are all white or black and make sure that you’re bringing clothes that are different from one another. Even though it may be a white dress and white top, when we photograph you it will look like you’re wearing the same outfit in a lot of photos.
I love color, but not too much color. This means to avoid bringing clothes that are neon/fluorescent colored since this will reflect light in an unflattering way. If you’re not sue what colors work best for you, use the skin tone guide in the Style Guide below! When picking. your outfits, try to follow this as closely as possible to make sure that you love your photos and everything translates perfectly on camera!
Every senior should bring these items: Dark wash jeans and shoes that are easy to walk in (flats/tennis shoes). Dark wash jeans go with everything and we’ll be walking a lot.
When you’re done picking your outfits, please text me photos of your outfits laid out on the floor! You don’t have to be wearing them since this is just to give me an idea of how the colors will look with the locations I will help pick and make sure that you have enough variety that we can create some amazing portraits.

7 face must-knows & Tips
Leave the makeup kit at home! You won’t need to bring any makeup with you because your artist will have everything you need.
Leading up to your appointment, make sure you are staying hydrated and getting good sleep, especially 2-3 days prior. You don’t want to have puffiness and bags under your eyes. If you wake with any issues, apply some ice cold tea bags to your under eyes.
Don’t tan in the natural sun or tanning beds for an entire 2 weeks before your session to make sure you don’t look red or burned. And tan lines? I can’t edit those out. Your natural skin color photographs light beautifully.
For the entire week before your session, use a toothbrush to brush your lips vigorously. then apply Vaseline or Mentholatum to your lips and sleep in it. This will make your lips smooth and ready for lipstick.
Chapped lips are not camera friendly.
Bring your Pinterest inspo of makeup and hairstyles that you like to the appointment with you. It gives the artist an idea of the type of look that you are going for.
Exfoliate with a physical exfoliator at least 2 days prior to your makeup session. It will help reduce dry patches and texturing. It will also smooth your skin for foundation application.
Wash your face thoroughly before your session and apply a hydrating moisturizer. The foundation will apply more evenly if your face is prepped and ready before any color is applied.
