š¬ Which tip surprised you the most? Let me know in the comments!
ā° Waiting too long to book your session: Donāt miss out on your fav photographer or desired month because you procrastinated booking your senior photos.
š Forgetting to steam your outfits: nothing ruins a perfect outfit faster than wrinkles!
š Wearing shoes you canāt comfortably walk in.
š Choosing the wrong undergarments for your outfits. Consider your neckline in tops and choose n**e colors. Although I do have tips and tricks in case you canāt find anything thatāll work, itās always best to find the right undergarments to begin with. Especially those with summer sessions.
š· Not telling your photographer the style and vibe youāre hoping for. Again, if you donāt have a lot of ideas no problem I have a ton! But this is where the āmagicā happens. Want something different more creative for your senior session? Iām down! Just let me know whether through your Pinterest board, questionnaire or our planning zoom callā¦these are YOUR Senior photos!
