Styling Tips for Girls: How to Dress for Your Senior Photo Session

As your trusted Boise photographer specializing in senior photos, I understand the importance of looking and feeling your best during your photo session. Your senior portraits are a reflection of your unique personality and style, so it's essential to choose the perfect outfits to showcase who you are. Here are some styling tips to help you dress for success:

  1. Choose a Statement Piece: Whether it's a bold patterned dress, a flowy skirt, or a vibrant top, selecting a statement piece can add visual interest and personality to your photos. Opt for clothing that makes you feel confident and comfortable, and don't be afraid to let your personality shine through your outfit choices.

  2. Coordinate Colors: Coordinate your outfit colors with the location and season of your photo session. Soft pastels and florals are perfect for springtime sessions, while rich jewel tones complement the autumn landscape. Consider the backdrop of your photos when choosing your outfit colors to ensure they harmonize with the surroundings. It can be fun to purposefully choose an outfit that juxtaposes with your location too - flowy and flirty dresses in a grungy alleyway or parking garage, for example.

  3. Consider Your Shoes: Your choice of footwear can make or break your outfit, so choose wisely! If you're planning on walking through grassy fields or wooded trails, opt for comfortable shoes like boots or sneakers. For a more formal look, consider wearing heels or dressy flats that complement your outfit.

    • Pro tip: bring lots of shoe choices so we can mix it up to give your photos variety. It’s better to bring more shoes than you need and than wish you had that one pair that would have worked perfectly for a fun shot.

  4. Don't Forget About Accessories: Accessories can elevate your outfit and add a personal touch to your photos. Consider adding statement earrings, layered necklaces, or a stack of bracelets to complete your look. Just remember not to overdo it – choose one or two key accessories to avoid overwhelming your outfit.

  5. Remember to Keep it Fun: Senior year is a time to shine and celebrate who you are in this moment. Embrace the opportunity to express yourself through your outfit choices and have fun with your styling. Whether you're showcasing your favorite hobby, sporting your school colors, or simply rocking a look that makes you feel amazing, let your personality shine through in your outfit. Your senior photos are a reflection of this exciting time in your life, so don't be afraid to have fun and be yourself!

By following these styling tips, you'll be well-prepared to rock your senior photo session with confidence and style. Schedule your senior photo session with me, your professional senior photographer in Boise, and let's create memories that will last a lifetime.
