Tips On How To Dress And Where To Go For A Senior Shoot | Indiana, PA

Maybe it's because I grew up in the 90's with a Lisa Frank Trapper keeper, or maybe it's because I have a penchant for all things rainbow, but one thing is for certain - I. Love. Color. When I met Erin, after noticing her striking beauty, I couldn't help but be excited about her cool outfit choices. I always encourage my seniors to bring a variety of outfit styles from dressy to casual, colorful to neutral. Above all, I want everything about the senior session to reflect their amazing personalities. Check out Erin's awesome wardrobe and how we were able to pair her choices with the perfect backdrops!

HOW TO MAKE SURE YOUR SENIOR PHOTOS HAVE PERSONALITY
This bit of advice is really advanced. You read for it? To get to know your seniors, all you have to do is... ASK! It pays off in huge ways if you take the time to shoot them an email, message them on Facebook, text, whatever! I've posted some of my favorite questions to ask seniors below (and their answers just may help you figure out location choices!)
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR
. Do you like to spend time outside?
2. What's your favorite thing to do on the weekend?
3. Do you have any hobbies?
4. Do you like to dress up, or are you more of a casual dresser?
5. Do you like dogs/have a dog?
6. What's something you're passionate about?
7. Pick some of these words to describe yourself: classy, fun, hipster, trendy, elegant, relaxed, sporty, academic, funky, edgy, introvert, extrovert, (and any more you want to add!)
PAIRING OUTFITS WITH LOCATIONS
Here's the logic I used for using Erin's personality traits and pairing them with her outfits and locations:
- Academic: Blacks, neutrals, business casual - Sutton Hall, IUP.
- Fun: bright pops of color, fun accessories, casual - local auto garage with bold royal blue paint job.
- Elegant: lace, whites or cream, dresses - Blue Spruce Park
