• Choose a Variety of outfits. It's a good idea to include both casual and more formal outfits in your senior portraits. You choose a couple and let mom choose one or two,   that way everyone is happy. Also use a variety of colors... black , gray and white are good choices, but include some color too!
• Stay clear of stripes!  large bold ones are ok, Small thin ones will not photograph well.
• Long sleeve solids or subtle prints are most flattering in portraits.
• Make sure your clothes are neat and not wrinkled! Have your clothes ironed.
• Sunburn, tan lines! Everyone please out of the sun a week  before your session.

         Medium to dark clothes look best on dark background. So if you like these dramatic looks, use darker subdued colors. So if you like lighter sets and backgrounds bring lighter clothes that will go with the backgrounds you prefer.

For Outdoor portraits stay away from greens they often clash with leaves and grass. Black, khaki, pink, orange navy, tan, burgundy, dark yellow are good outdoors. We recommend staying away from whites and pale colors outdoors.

Busy patterns and loud colors can be very distracting in your portraits, avoid them as they tend to draw attention away from your face.

• Guys should not have a fresh haircut. If you need a hair cut have it done about a week before your session. 5 o'clock shadow will show, so a fresh shave is a good idea.  

• Gals wear your make up as you normally do, senior portrait time is not a good time for make up experiments. Don't for get your jewelry.
