A little planning is all it takes to make sure you look fabulous in photos that will act as lasting memories of your high school years. Fashion trends come and go like Bieber’s bangs, but here are some tips to help you rock your session.

Girls:

• Dark denim flatters all shapes, sizes and photographs better than distressed or light washes.
• Statement jewelry speaks volumes about personality. Go all out with a colorful necklace, chandelier earrings or stacked bangle bracelets. Worn with a simple tee or solid tank, the jewelry takes center stage.
• Create complete, multi-piece looks for your senior pictures. Consider purchasing a cropped blazer to throw over pieces you already own and cuff the sleeves for a fresh, professional look that will keep its modern edge years after photos are taken.
• It’s always better to pack too many options than too few.
• Bring an elastic brown or black belt to cinch dresses and blouses that may look bulky on camera.

Guys:

• Sick band t-shirts, funky jackets, jerseys, fun sweatshirts and even hats make for great personality shots– the ones where you’re just hanging out, being you.
• If you feel comfortable you’ll look it and get some great shots in the process. Sports jerseys and equipment as well as other hobby related props (bikes, guitars, your skateboard) also add that personal flair to make you stand out, so don’t be afraid to bring them along!
