Senior Picture Checklist

Prestige Portrait Session

Get ready to rock your senior photo session with confidence! Use this checklist to plan ahead and showcase your unique style.

Step 1: Find Your Inspiration

Before your session, spend some time exploring ideas:

  • Scroll Pinterest, Instagram, or your favorite fashion blogs.

  • Check out our styling guide for fresh looks.

  • Ask yourself:

    • Do I lean classic, edgy, sporty, or artistic?

    • What colors highlight my eyes, hair, and skin tone?

    • Which outfits truly feel like “me”?

Step 2: Book Your Prep Appointments

Whether it’s a haircut, fresh manicure, or a makeup touch-up, schedule appointments ahead of time so you’re looking and feeling your best on photo day.

Step 3: Plan at Least 3 Outfits

More outfits = more variety and flexibility during your shoot. Aim for a minimum of three complete looks:

  • Parent Pleaser – A timeless option they’ll cherish. Think classic jeans, a crisp shirt, polished shoes, and simple accessories.

  • Senior’s Choice – The outfit (or prop!) that screams you. Maybe your guitar, art supplies, or something that shows off your personality.

  • Activities & Achievements – Celebrate your high school journey with gear from your favorite sport, club, or hobby—like your jersey, uniform, or debate blazer.

Step 4: Prep the Details

  • Make sure outfits are clean, pressed, and ready (dry clean 1–2 weeks ahead if needed).

  • Lay out shoes, accessories, props, and styling tools so nothing gets left behind.

  • Double-check your appointment time on your confirmation postcard.

Step 5: Rest Up

The secret to looking amazing? Sleep. A full night’s rest ensures you’ll look fresh and energized.

Step 6: Show Up Ready

Arrive 15 minutes early, with outfits organized and a smile on your face—it’s your time to shine!

With a little prep, your senior pictures will capture the best version of you.
