Make the most out of your senior session by styling your look from head to toe! A styled look can take your senior portraits from good to great.

Neutrals Are A Yes!

When in doubt…go for neutrals. A neon yellow top or large floral print could potentially clash with your setting, so let’s compliment it instead!

Neutrals aren’t limited to just black or white; try cream, gray, navy, taupe, or even olive green! You can get creative with fabric textures or unique silhouettes.

Yes to heels for an elevated, sophisticated look, I suggest wearing heels that you’ve practiced wearing before, and bring a flat option just in case the location ends up conflicting with the shoes! Dirt + stilettos = no bueno.

The White Dress 

I love a white dress. I’m not saying you have to wear a white dress…but you totally should!  A well-fitting white dress with neutral sandals or low heels is a killer look.  If you’re a girly girl, get the white dress. 

The Dainty Printed Dress

This can border on “trendy”, but these romantic dresses are fun, sweet, and have just enough pattern without being too overwhelming. Pair with white shoes for a more casual look.

Nice Top + Jeans

This may seem like a simple and obvious combo, but it’s so customizable! You can choose anything from a basic white top to a patterned blouse, and jeans can range from wide leg to baggy, black to blue to white, and everything in between! Keep your shoes and accessories simple, or make them bold to show your unique style! I always suggest pants over shorts and skirts, because of mobility and posing options.

Pro tip: Bring hats, shoes, and jackets to switch up the look without needing to change

Dress it down with a sweater and jeans, or dress it up with jewelry and heels.

College Crewneck

This cute look can work for both high school and college graduations! Use a retro crewneck to show your school spirit or announce your future plans!

The Show Stopper

If you have a fun and bubbly personality, this is the look for you! Wear disco booties, a vibrant pantsuit, or a poofy dress! These work best in an urban cityscape.

Want something glam but not over-the-top? Pair a feathery cami with silk or leather wide-leg pants in neutral colors.

The Gown

So you buy this beautiful, expensive prom dress…and then you only get to wear it once? No thanks! You can also rent gowns for a glam look without the commitment.

Letterman Jacket 

Your letters tell your story! Letterman Jackets originated in 1865 and have become a rite of passage in high schools in the United States. Pair your jacket with a glove, ball, cleats, and other props to show your school involvement and spirit.

Accolades and Trophies

Let’s see that championship bling! Add trophies, medals, and academic achievements for a personal touch to commemorate your success. You can even add awards from your childhood years to illustrate the path to your success!

Hopefully this gives you some guidance on how to style your looks for your senior session, and maybe some fun new ideas.
