What to Wear for School Photos

Yay! Picture Day! But what do I Wear??

 

It's all about feeling good and loving your look...

 

Each and every one of you has a unique and wonderful personality. You have much to be proud of, so DO take the time to plan an outfit that honors this and makes you look your best.

 

Tip 1:

Dress like yourself, but use this as a great excuse to treat yourself to a new top, or put some extra time into your hairdo... whatever makes you feel amazing. 

 

Tip 2: 

Choose colors and clothing that you feel great in-- whether they're bright, cheerful colors, or dark and moody... soft, warm textures... or crisp, clean lines. 


Solid colors, small patterns and a variety of textures look great. Try to avoid big, loud patterns and graphics, and neon colors as those draw attention away from your face. 

Tip 3: 

Choosing colors that help bring out your eyes and skin tones are a great way to go!  

 

Another option? If you're planning to hang these on the walls, choose colors that match your home decor.  

Tip 4:

Have TEENAGERS?

 

Encourage them to SMILE... and even better, smile with their teeth showing. So many teens are self-conscious about smiling big, but their photos capture so much more of their inner glow when they allow themselves to let loose and actually smile.  

 

And on the opposite spectrum-- when they don't smile they can tend to look like mugshots. :( 

 

 

Tip 5:

Be sure to communicate with me (your photographer) if there's anything you've tended to love/be self conscious of in photos in the past.  

 

Together we can create photos you'll love!
