4 SENIOR PORTRAIT TIPS Please take a moment to read through these tips and ideas. However, these are suggestions, not rules! If your favorite outfit includes thirty different bright colored stripes wear it! These are YOUR portraits and should reflect who you are. CLOTHING DOS DO wear medium to dark clothes DO use a variety of colors DO choose a variety of outfits DO bring a fun clothing item DO bring long-sleeve solids or very subtle prints DO bring a trendy option DO bring a parent outfit and a senior outfit DO wear long sleeve dresses and shirts DO bring shoes and socks for each outfit DO coordinate your outfit head to toe DO wear traditional styles that will continue to be in style AVOIDING COMMON PROBLEMS Sunburn and tan lines Please keep out of the sun a week or two before your session. We often see uneven sunburn from guys who wear ball caps, raccoon eyes from those who were burned while wearing sunglasses, or strap lines on the shoulders of girls in a strapless formal dress or top. Sunburn, uneven tanning, and tan lines are very difficult to retouch. Wrinkled or ill-fitting clothing Please be sure your clothes are wrinkle-free. PROP OPTIONS Musical Instruments Sports equipment Hats/glasses/scarves/belts/shoes/jewelry Props can help to show your personality and record the types of activities you are involved in. Be sure to bring some of your own props to your portrait session. MORE TIPS Visine eye drops can be used for red eyes if you have allergies. Heavier thicker materials will photograph and lay better. Wear your hair in your regular style. Guys should not have a fresh haircut, but should have a fresh shave. A 5 o clock shadow will show and can t be touched up. If you need a trim, have it done about a week before. Girls, it is not a good idea to get a new hairstyle that you ve never used before. Wear it the way you like to wear it best!
