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:

  1. Band-Aids – For blisters, scratches, or any little accidents.
  2. Lint Roller – Keep your outfit looking sharp and photo-ready.
  3. Safety Pins – A lifesaver for any wardrobe malfunctions!
  4. Wrinkle Release Spray – Because no one wants wrinkled clothes in their photos.
  5. Brush – Tame those flyaways or refresh your hairstyle.
  6. Hairspray – Keep every strand in place, no matter the weather.
  7. Bug Spray – Protect yourself from pesky mosquitos (especially during outdoor sessions).
  8. Bobby Pins – Perfect for securing hairstyles or quick fixes.
  9. Snacks & Water – Staying hydrated and energized is key for a great session.

let's tell your story

I've photographed every personality type — the shy ones, the hams, the "I hate photos" crowd, all of them.

I know how to find what makes someone tick and pull it right into the frame. The goal is never a perfect pose.

It's a photo that looks so undeniably like you that you can't stop staring at it.
