Let me guess – you’re standing in front of your closet, staring like it’s speaking a foreign language? Totally normal. But here’s the good news: Choosing outfits for your Chicago senior photo session doesn’t have to be stressful… And it definitely shouldn’t cause you any distress! I’ve got you.
Let’s break it down and talk senior photo style – the fun, easy kind.
Here’s the tea: Your senior photos should feel 100% YOU.
- Not like your bestie.
- Not like that influencer you follow.
- Not someone your mom saw on Pinterest.
They should feel like you.
After photographing hundreds of Chicago seniors, here’s what I know for sure – confidence shows up when you feel like yourself. And when you feel good in what you’re wearing, it shows in every single photo.
So where do you start? I recommend starting with your absolute favorite outfit. That one outfit that makes you feel like you could take over the world. We all have that go-to outfit that we feel AMAZING in, and it’s the perfect place to begin.
Then build from there! Think:
- Layers that add dimension
- Textures that photograph beautifully
- Personal pieces that tell your story
That vintage band tee from your first concert? Yes! Your dad’s old letterman jacket? Absolutely. That dress that makes you feel like main character energy? 100%.
A few quick style tips:
- Solid colors photograph like a dream
- Layers give you more variety and options
- Accessories are a perfect way to add personality
- And above all – Comfort = Confidence
We’ll go over your style and outfits in detail during your planning session, so you’re never doing this alone. I’ll help you curate looks that feel authentic to who you are right now because that’s exactly what these photos are all about.
Still feeling stuck? No worries. Let’s figure it out together. After all, it’s an honor to be your go-to Chicago senior photographer!
