Fashion Friday: Senior Lifestyle Session

Senior Lifestyle Session

The Senior Session!


'Tis the season for Senior Portrait Sessions. I love meeting rising Seniors during the summer. In my opinion, Summer & Fall are both really good times to start planning and schedule your Senior Session. So, what on earth do you have to plan???


1. Your Photographer: I highly encourage you to research the photographers in your area. Take a look at their portfolio. Does their style of photographing people and posing people jive with your style? It's really important to choose a photographer that will best represent you in pictures. After all, Senior Portraits are an investment.

2. Organize: That is, organize your ideas about what you want your Senior Session to look like. Make a list of ideal locations. Make a list of items that you want to bring that represent you (see #4). Talk about these things with your photographer too!

3. Go Shopping: You don't have to purchase anything new, but it is nice to don some new threads. Look through your closet and set a side a few things that you love. Look through your friend's closet (if you & your friends borrow each other's clothes). Don't forget the accessories. 

4. Accessorize: jewelry, shoes, purse, musical instrument, poms, books, hats, or anything that represents you :)

5. Schedule: Summer & Fall are usually pretty busy for photographers and families alike. With family vacations in the summer, and Back to School shopping and starting school in the fall, it leaves little time for much else. Schedule your Senior Session as soon as you have a block of time available. 

The Senior Session is all about you. Make sure to have fun. Your Senior year is a great time in your life, but it goes so fast!

Happy Friday!
