Senior Photo Outfits 101: Accessorize!


 We have all been there; bored out of our minds in a waiting room.  Suddenly, a wrinkled, outdated magazine calls to you from the coffee table.  A beautiful celebrity on the cover holds your gaze as you reach for the mag.  You flip through the pages and study the kings and queens of Hollywood; getting ideas for your next trip to the mall and the salon.  Something you didn't notice: the accessories!




This is probably where most of our customers are lacking.  They take the time to match the perfect outfit with the perfect hair but are neglecting an opportunity to show off their personal style and add some spark to their portraits!  If you study the pages of magazines you will see celebrities with rings, dangling earrings, cuffs, headbands, watches and more!  Yet, after studying our Senior Portraits most of our Seniors show up with barely a class ring.




Maybe they were concerned that their accessories would overpower the portrait?  Or get in the way?  Or maybe they thought that their accessories would have to be in EVERY portrait.  Not true!  When we get sick of the headband we will ask you to take it off.  If the earrings are tangled in your hair then they are history!  All we are asking is that you take the time to bring the items you love to wear.  They don't cost extra, and they can become a really beautiful part of your Senior portraits.  If you want to make your Senior Session truly unique, don't forget to accessorize.
