Let’s dig into Ten Senior Session Tips and Outfit Inspo for your senior photos!
Tip #1: Layer Up!
Layering isn’t just for fall and winter! Adding layers can elevate your outfit in any season. Consider jackets, sweaters, flannels, scarves, or boot socks. For example, Sophie added a sleeveless jean jacket over a simple white shirt and black skirt, creating a stylish and dynamic look.
Tip #2: Wear Shirts with Texture and Interest
Choose tops that have unique details like ruffles, patterns, or interesting sleeves. Sophie’s shirt featured a ruffled neckline and cinched sleeves, adding depth and visual appeal to her outfit.

Tip #3: Add a Hat!
Hats are a fun accessory that can add personality to your photos. If you’re worried about messing up your hair, bring one along to hold or place nearby for a pop of color and interest.

Tip #4: Add Accessories
Don’t forget earrings, necklaces, and bracelets! A helpful tip is to hang your jewelry with your outfits. Loop necklaces over the hanger and place smaller items in a baggie attached to the hanger. This keeps everything organized and ready to go.

Tip #5: Fun Shoes!
Shoes can make or break an outfit. Whether it’s sandals, heels, boots, or clean tennis shoes, ensure they’re in good condition. Sophie paired rose gold Converse with a laid-back summer skirt, tying her shirt in a knot and adding a jean jacket for a cohesive look. Also, be mindful of tan lines in the summer!
Tip #6: Go Barefoot!
If you love being barefoot, go for it! Just watch out for tan lines or sunburned feet, especially in summer. Give your feet some TLC before the session, as I capture both full-body and close-up shots.
Tip #7: Wear Colors That Complement Your Skin Tone
Choosing the right colors can enhance your natural beauty. To determine your undertone, look at the veins on your wrist: blue or purple suggests cool tones; green or yellow indicates warm tones. Need more guidance? Check out my Pinterest board on Colors and Skin Tones.
Tip #8: Well-Fitting Jeans
Ensure your jeans fit well and are clean. Avoid stains or unintended rips. If your jeans don’t move comfortably with you, consider shopping for a new pair. Feeling confident in your outfit will reflect in your photos.

During our pre-session planning, we’ll discuss locations and coordinate outfits accordingly. For instance, Sophie chose bibbed overalls and an American flag for a fun, patriotic vibe. Planning ensures a smooth session and cohesive photos.
Tip #10: Incorporate Meaningful Props
Props add a personal touch to your photos. Sophie included her dad’s cherished Bronco and the American flag. Whether it’s a beloved pet, a favorite book, or sports equipment, bringing items that reflect your personality makes your session unique.
