Trying to decide what to wear for your senior photos can be a tough decision! The options are endless, but seemingly impossible all at the same time, right, ladies?!
Here are a few tips to help you out:
1. Don’t be someone you are not. Your senior photos should reflect who you are at this moment in time (in my humble opinion!) so don’t wear something you don’t like just because it’s trendy. You should be comfortable with what you’re wearing and feel good about how you look!
2. Wear layers for more variation. You’ll get more “looks” without having to do a full wardrobe change by easily removing a blazer, sweater, or jacket. I promise if we’re doing a session on a warm day, we will move quickly to keep you from overheating!
3. Accessorize! If you enjoy jewelry, hats, scarves, and other fun accessories, this is your time to bust them out! They give your photos a new dimension and, often, a fun pop of color.
4. Seek the advice of a fashionable friend (or your favorite photographer!). Not sure what to wear? Ask someone you trust to help you pick your outfits. A styling consultation is part of all Angie Bordeaux Photography’s Wonderland Collections, so take advantage of the opportunity talk with Angie about your options.
5. Do not spend a small fortune on a whole new wardrobe. Okay, if it’s just a great excuse to update your wardrobe, by all means, go crazy! However, it would make me very sad to think someone felt they needed to buy all new clothes for a photo shoot. Use what you have or borrow items from a friend! If you want to be frugal about your spending, hit up Target, Forever 21, Marshall’s, or H&M. You can get cute clothing and accessories at those places for very little money! Or, go “pop some tags” and visit your local Goodwill or Salvation Army! Lastly, vintage or second-hand shots are awesome for fun retro pieces! I love Find which has locations in Scarborough and Portland.
