# What to Wear for Your Senior Portrait Session *Tips from a Pro Photographer in Lebanon, Ohio*

Thinking about your senior photos and wondering what to wear? You're not alone. Choosing outfits for your senior portrait session can feel overwhelming — but don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.

As a senior portrait photographer here in Lebanon, Ohio, I’ve helped hundreds of seniors look and feel their best in front of the camera.

Here’s a quick guide to help you plan picture-perfect looks that actually reflect you — and photograph beautifully.

 1. Bring Multiple Outfits Plan for **3–5 different outfits** to show off different sides of your personality: - A casual everyday look (jeans + cute top or your fave hoodie and sneakers) - A dressier outfit (think brunch with Grandma, not prom!) - A statement look (letterman jacket, cheer uniform, band tee, something YOU) -Something a little EXTRA...something a little more fun or vibrant than your everyday look. *Pro tip:* I offer outfit consultations before every session. Yes, really.

2. Choose Colors That Flatter (and Pop on Camera) Neutrals, earthy tones, and jewel tones photograph like a dream. - Avoid bright neons or small busy patterns (they distract from *you*) If we’re shooting outdoors in the fall? Warm, cozy tones all day long. 🍂

3. Don’t Forget the Shoes Yes, shoes matter — especially for full-body shots. - Sneakers for the casual look - Cute sandals or boots for dressier outfits - Clean and comfy is key -

4. Bring the Personal Vibes What makes you *you*? Let’s show that off. - Instruments - Sports gear - Art supplies - Books - Pets (!) These elements make your session unique and your photos unforgettable.

5. Hair & Makeup: Polished but Still You Think of it as a more polished version of how you’d show up on a really good day. - Makeup: Slightly bolder than everyday (mascara and gloss go far) - Guys: Trim facial hair, moisturize, and a little powder to fight shine - Bring a brush, hair ties, blotting paper, and lip balm — trust me.
