Preparing for your senior session.

Not sure what you should do to prepare for your session. Don’t worry. Follow these few tips and you’ll be good to go.

Hair & Clothes: A little more then a week before your session is the best time to get a hair cut. This will allow your hair to adjust to the new cut or style. This is also a good time to plan out your outfits. I would suggest 3. One dressy one more casual and one fun look. Avoid shirts with large logos.

Sleep: The night before your session make sure you get a good nights sleep. This will help avoid puffy eyes and dark circles.

Photo Day: The day of try to avoid being in the sun too long. You don’t want to be red and sunburns can be very hard to retouch. It is also a good idea to pack a comb and girls some touch up makeup and a small mirror as well. If you are an athlete bring your gear and your uniform. Its always a good idea to febreze your gear the morning of.

Girls

Nails : Clear nail polish or a french manicure looks best. However if you would like to wear a solid color make sure to put a fresh coat of polish on the day of the shoot. Chipped polish will show. Avoid dark blue or black polish. They may be trendy now but they wont be in just a few years. The darkness of the colors will also pull your eyes to your nails and we want you to stand out and not your manicure.

Makeup : Apply your typical makeup before your session as you are getting ready. The day of your shoot is not the time to try a new look. Use light concealer and powder if necessary on blemishes this helps with photo retouching. Try not to use a make up that has SPF in it. The SPF has a reflective quality and may give you a shinny look in your photos. Use a new tube of mascara to avoid clumps.

And most importantly of all remember that it will be fun.
