High School Senior Session Guide

What to Bring to your High School Senior Session

High School Senior Photography

High School graduation is a huge milestone in your life and it deserves to be celebrated. One of the ways to remember your high school experience and the achievement is with a senior portrait session.

This guide is here to make sure that everything goes correctly for your senior photoshoot. We want the day to be laid back and fun with no stress or anxiety.

Wardrobe

Wardrobe is one of the most important aspects of your senior session. You want to wear what feels most comfortable to you and what you feel the most confident in.

Think about what kind of looks or styles you like the best, classic? edgy? sporty? boho? Your style should be your own, don’t forget to be you!

Some outfit ideas could include:

• ones that you love the way you look and are comfortable

• ones that could represent your time in school

• ones that are more formal

Props

Props are one way to have fun in the photoshoot and commemorate and showcase any activities, sports, hobbies, or clubs that were a part of your high school experience.

Bring your cap and gown!

Other items could include sports jersey and equipment, dance shoes, musical instruments, books, sentimental items like a family heirloom. Any items that represent things you love to do that are special to you, and shows off your personality

Make-Up, Hair, Cosmetics

Bring a small bag of make-up with touch-up essentials! Mascara, foundation, concealer, chapstick/lipstick/lipgloss, blotting papers, and a small mirror. Bring hair essentials to do any touch-ups needed. Such as a hairbrush, hairspray, bobby pins, and clips.

Nails will potentially be visible in the photographs so make sure they are clean and trimmed and/or painted if you’d like.

The studio space is in the prime location of Clarence, NY. A charming and historic town and suburb northeast of Buffalo. The address is 8500 Roll Rd. Site B Clarence Center, NY.

The Space

Studio Photoshoot One Year Set Up

It is a spacious open studio with windows for natural lighting. On one side when you walk in there is a huge space for a studio set up with various backdrops and props. On the other side is a boho themed bedroom.

Various backdrops and props can be used for a photoshoot. This one was for a one year old boho photoshoot.

Boho Aesthetic

The studio set up is a free-spirited boho theme with a bed and two wicker chairs that fit the theme perfectly. The room is filled with neutral tones of browns, creams, whites, and muted yellows and pinks. Boho decor including fluffy pillows, blankets and plants that complete the look.

The iconic egg chair is a new addition to the studio space. It has become a major decor trend fairly recently. It elevates the space and brings it to a whole new level. A boho dream.

Sunshine

When the sun comes out, it is like a heavenly dream in here. The way the light shines through into the studio onto the wall, and the furniture is stunning. The windows provide the perfect amount of natural lighting and the sun shining through provides amazing illumination.

Visitor Point of View

I was extremely impressed when I first walked in. The space is very inviting and welcoming. It is a very comfortable space with a couch for visitors to sit and place their belongings. The boho decor is beautiful and there is a lot of attention to detail. My favorite part of the space is the windows that provide the natural light and when it shines through the window, it is incredible.

If you end up at the granite place, you are at the wrong location.
