Accessories can make or break your outfit!
You’ve got your outfit planned. You know exactly what you’re doing with your hair, and have already spoken to the makeup artist. Now it’s time to take your senior pictures outfits to the next level with your accessories!
What are "accessories"?
Hats, jewelry - and more! Keep reading for four tips for planning for your portraits.
- Don’t let the accessories wear you. Too big or too zany can overwhelm your face and body. This can take away from the overall image. This is about you.
- Choose accessories that mean something to you. Maybe you want to wear a ring your mother gave you, or those earrings that always earn you compliments.
- Make sure to avoid selecting items that are overly flashy. In a few years, ultra trendy items can look really, really dated. Funky and fun are OK, of course, but think about your decisions on accessories.
- Make sure your accessories all work well with your outfit. For example, a thin belt may flatter your figure more than a thick belt. Make sure to consider whether studs or long, dangling earrings will fit better. Can they even be seen when your hair is down?
- Get a second, and third, opinion. Wear everything you plan to put on for your session day and ask for someone else’s advice. Take some pictures and ask your friends and family if they have any suggestions. Additionally, you are welcome to check with your senior photographer for ideas - I've seen it all! 😉
Some of the accessories my clients have chosen to wear with their outfits for senior pictures include fun earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, hats, shoes or boots.
Now that you know what accessories to choose for senior pictures, have you reserved your session date yet?
