You want to look your best when you have your senior portraits taken. There’s a good chance that you will have your senior portraits displayed in your home or your parents’ home for years to come, so it’s important for you to avoid making mistakes that will affect the final look of your photos. Check out a few of those mistakes below:
Selecting on the Wrong Outfit
You might be tempted to run out and buy the trendiest clothes you can for your senior portrait. While that might make you look great in your photos for a year or two, they will begin to look outdated once a particular trend is over. Try to find a traditional outfit that won’t make your senior portraits look old within just a few years. Ultimately, you want to choose an outfit that helps you look your best!
Trying Out a New Haircut
You might think that getting a haircut on the day of your senior portraits is a great idea, but what’s going to happen when that haircut doesn’t turn out the way you hoped? You will be stuck taking photos with a haircut you hate. To be on the safe side, you should get your haircut about a week before your senior portraits. It will give you time to come up with a solution if you don’t like the way it looks.
Showing Up Late
The last thing you want to do is show up for your senior portraits and rush through them. You will be forced to take unnatural photos, and your photographer won’t get as many options if you only have a short window of time to take pictures. So make sure you show up for your photos early to give the photographer all the time he or she needs to get the best senior portraits possible.
Choosing the Wrong Photographer
Speaking of photographers, you’re going to want to choose one that has the experience and knowledge it takes to snap great senior portraits of you. Your photographer should have professional equipment and know how you make you feel relaxed so that you walk away with memorable senior portraits.
