Below are some examples of clothing we recommend for senior portraits. There are basically 4 main goals. We want you to show some expression of your personality, so below is just meant as basic guidelines, not necessities.
1. Timeless and classic: This does not mean boring! Just think in terms of solids or neutrals. A nice pair of jeans and a solid top is good for this. One choice of this style is plenty unless this is your personality across the board.
2. Relaxed and casual: Pretty much what you would wear on a day to day basis…something you are comfortable in. Feel free to wear clothing with patterns, prints, or colors.
3. A step up from your everyday: This would be what you would wear out with your friends for the night! Something you look good and feel good in! Go a little bit more trendy on this.
4. Bold: Extreme crazy colors, patterns, fabrics or even mismatched items. (ex: prom dress with cowboy boots in a field of cows… a Tuxedo on the football field, etc.)
