Number of Outfits
For a Full session, bring along 6 outfits (including cap & gown if available). If we photograph 4 outfits before time is up, then we will move into the remaining outfits .
The Mini session has a 1-2 outfit limit. An idea for minis is to have accessories/props to give more variety. For example, pair an outfit with a jacket and hat and we can photograph with and without them. Same goes for props; bringing trophies, sport jackets, poms, instruments, etc.
What to Wear
Ultimately, the clothing should represent you. Let it represent your school career, future plans, favorite hobbies, teams, etc. Formal outfits are a great option, and props can also make a session a lot more fun. I want you to wear what you feel best in - Be you! Be comfortable!
