Clothing can be used as a form of self expression, an aid to self confidence, and an enhancement to bring out your unique features. But, let’s be honest — figuring out what to wear for your senior portraits can feel overwhelming. Luckily, Sarah Lindsay and her team know how big of a deal this experience is; to help, you’ll get a wardrobe consultation where you will gain a professional perspective to answer questions and receive advice. Think of it as your mini styling session!
Long sleeve dress
Since your senior portraits will last forever, looking for outfits that are classy and timeless will ensure satisfaction for decades beyond graduation. Solid colors, floral designs and simple patterns are great styles to look for.
Don't Shy Away From Variety
Sarah typically recommends clients to have anywhere from 4-6 outfits for their session. While there is no limit on how many outfits you can bring, just keep in mind that the more you have, the less time you will have to be photographed in each one. We suggest having a range of styles, from casual ripped jeans, to a more timeless option like a classic sundress.

The Selection Process
A few questions to ask yourself are: Do these outfits align with my school dress-code? Are the colors/patterns distracting or complimentary? Do I feel confident in these clothes? Will my outfits compliment the background of my portraits?
A good rule of thumb to follow when selecting outfits is to choose pieces that make you feel like the best version of yourself. No one else’s opinions should overpower how proud you feel of yourself for your accomplishments; therefore it’s crucial to follow your gut and wear what makes you feel confident. While photos can be posed, you can’t fake a genuine smile, so it's important to remember that however you are feeling on the inside is what you will portray on the outside! 
Nothin says sweet like overalls
With that being said, it is also recommended that you bring one “grandma-friendly” outfit option. These portraits may be showcased in the yearbook, sent to friends and family, and displayed as artwork around the house, so having variety in your outfits allows for a wider range of portrait results!
Accessorizing is Key
While the outfits themselves are important, accessorizing is arguably just as important! Accessories are a great way to showcase your personality and add dimension to each outfit. Think jewelry, belts, hair clips, hats, even fun socks or scrunchies! Kendra Scott and Madewell are great places to look for jewelry, however, if you are hoping to find something more unique and personal, Etsy offers a wide variety of customizable pieces.
Coordinating jewelry with the outfit
Additionally, shoes can be a great way to elevate an outfit. They can be used to throw in a pop of color or showcase your personality. Maybe you have southern roots and want to wear cowboy boots to resemble that part of you!
Think Smart
While you can have fun with your accessories, make sure they are practical for your portrait environment. Consider the area you are being photographed in; if you will be walking through a rocky trail in the woods, you may not want to wear your tallest pair of heels, or you can plan accordingly by bringing a pair of walking shoes to change into between photos.
Casual ripped jeans
Enhance Your Features
The other top priority considerations for senior portraits are hair and makeup. Choosing looks that you feel confident in is crucial for being pleased with your final results. Whether you decide to utilize Sarah Lindsay’s professional hair and makeup option or you are doing it yourself, practicing beforehand and finding inspiration for your desired look will help you feel prepared going into the big day.

Finishing Touches
Lastly, don’t forget about your nails! Selecting a neutral color or french tip design are great options for being photographed. They aren’t distracting, and they match with everything.
