What to Bring to Your Senior Session

(So You Look Like That Girl… or Guy 😉)

Okay, real talk—your senior session is not the time to just roll up with whatever’s on your bedroom floor and hope for the best.

This is your main character moment. Your “I peaked in high school but like, in a cool way” era. And I’m here to make sure you show up ready.

So let’s get into it—what you should actually bring to your senior session so you look amazing, feel confident, and low-key have the best time ever.

👗 1. Outfit Options (Yes, Plural. Trust me.)

If you bring one outfit… I’m judging you a little. (Lovingly.)

Bring at least 2–3 looks:

• Something casual (jeans, cute top, sneakers)

• Something dressy (hello, main character energy)

• Something that feels very you (sports, hobbies, band tee, etc.)

Pro tip: If you have to keep adjusting it, pulling it down, or sucking in your stomach… it’s a no. We want confident, not uncomfortable.

👟 2. Shoes That Complete the Vibe

Shoes matter more than you think.

Yes, I will photograph them.
Yes, people will notice.

Bring options:

• Clean sneakers

• Cute boots or sandals

• Something a little extra if you're feeling bold

Also… maybe don’t wear your beat-up gym shoes unless that’s the look. You know who you are.

💄 3. Touch-Up Kit (Your Secret Weapon)

You don’t need a full glam squad, but a little maintenance goes a long way.

Throw this in your bag:

• Lip gloss or lipstick

• Powder (shine happens, it’s fine)

• Hairbrush or comb

• Bobby pins / hair ties

• Oil blotting sheets 

Because wind + humidity = chaos, and we’re not letting that win.

🧢 4. Accessories That Make It Yours

This is where your personality comes in.

Think:

• Hats

• Layered jewelry

• Sunglasses

• Letterman jacket

• Sports gear

• Instruments

• Your dog (yes, PLEASE bring your dog)

If it tells your story, it belongs in your session.

🧥 5. Layers = Variety Without Changing Outfits

Want your gallery to look super diverse without changing 10 times?

Layers are your best friend:

• Denim jacket

• Flannel

• Cardigan

• Button-down

We can take it on/off and suddenly—boom—new look.

Minimal effort, maximum vibe.

📸 6. Confidence (Okay Fine… I’ll Help With This One)

You don’t need to know how to pose. That’s my job.

You just need to show up ready to:

• Laugh a little

• Trust the process

• Be yourself (I know, cliché—but also true)

I’ll guide you the whole time so you never feel awkward standing there like, “what do I do with my hands??”

Final Thoughts (aka Your Pep Talk)

This session is about capturing you—not some Pinterest version of you, not what your mom wants (love you, moms), not what’s trending.

The best photos happen when you feel like yourself.

So bring the outfits, bring the extras, bring the energy…

…and I’ll handle the rest. ✨
