Senior Year

The portraits that survive the yearbook and the decade.

Senior photos need three looks: the classic portrait (solid colors, timeless neckline), the personality look (the varsity jacket, the team kit, the instrument), and the golden-hour glam (sparkly dress, sunset). Avoid logos and trend pieces that will date the photo before the reunion.

Locations tell the story: campus, the field, the town spot everyone knows. Bring the formal dress for the last light — sequins at sunset is the frame that gets printed large.

Good questions

What is a senior photoshoot?

Senior photos need three looks: the classic portrait (solid colors, timeless neckline), the personality look (the varsity jacket, the team kit, the instrument), and the golden-hour glam (sparkly dress, sunset).

What should I wear to a senior photoshoot?

Start with the rack: sequin mini dress, varsity jacket, flowy sundress, long formal dress and block-heel sandals. Every piece above links to a budget-friendly option, and the recommended backdrops complete the set.
