As you get ready for your Chicago senior photo session, you’re probably focused on picking out the perfect outfits, shoes, and accessories. But have you thought about what happens if something unexpected pops up during the shoot?
That’s where an “emergency kit” comes in handy. From a popped button to a sudden mosquito bite, little mishaps can happen. Having a few essentials on hand ensures nothing disrupts the fun and flow of your session.
Here’s what I recommend including in a senior session emergency kit:
- Band-Aids – For blisters, scratches, or any little accidents.
- Lint Roller – Keep your outfit looking sharp and photo-ready.
- Safety Pins – A lifesaver for any wardrobe malfunctions!
- Wrinkle Release Spray – Because no one wants wrinkled clothes in their photos.
- Brush – Tame those flyaways or refresh your hairstyle.
- Hairspray – Keep every strand in place, no matter the weather.
- Bug Spray – Protect yourself from pesky mosquitos (especially during outdoor sessions).
- Bobby Pins – Perfect for securing hairstyles or quick fixes.
- Snacks & Water – Staying hydrated and energized is key for a great session.

But here’s the best part – if you’re a client of Shalimar B. Photography, you don’t have to worry about packing any of these items because I bring them all (and more) for you!
