Senior year is such a big milestone — for both seniors and their parents. These photos aren’t just for the yearbook, they’re a celebration of who your senior is at this exciting time in their life. When it comes to Lake Mary senior photography, styling your session is just as important as choosing the right location or photographer. The outfits, accessories, and little details like hair and nails all are all important consideration to bring the senior shoot together.

The good news? You don’t have to figure it out alone. I provide every client with a complete styling guide that covers everything from outfit planning to hair, makeup, and even nail polish tips, so seniors walk into their session confident and camera-ready. I have a separate styling guide for senior boys too.

Choosing the Perfect Outfits for Your Lake Mary Senior Photography Session

Outfits can completely change the mood of your portraits, your confidence and how you feel. That’s why I encourage seniors to bring variety — a casual look, a dressy outfit, and something a little more formal. Moms love this because it gives them a mix of photos that feel personal and fun at the same time.

• Casual: Think jeans and a favorite tee, or a flowy dress for girls and khakis with a polo for guys.

• Dressy: A classic outfit you’d wear out to dinner, like a jumpsuit or button-up shirt with slacks.

• Formal: A prom dress or suit that shows off your senior’s polished side and grown-up look.

Having options ensures your gallery feels dynamic. Plus, I help seniors plan everything through my senior styling guide so they never feel stuck staring at their closet.

Accessorizing to Personalize Your Senior Portraits

Accessories add personality without overpowering your look. They’re like the finishing touches that make portraits feel complete.

• A letterman jacket or class ring to show off school pride.

• Hats or scarves to add texture.

• Jewelry that reflects your style.

• Shoes that pop — whether it’s sneakers, boots, or heels.

I always encourage seniors to bring a few favorite accessories to their session. That way, we can mix and match for more variety without a full outfit change. Don’t know what to bring? Consider a hat in your favorite style.

Adding Props to Personalize Your Shoot

The best senior photos tell a story. Props are a simple but powerful way to highlight what makes your senior unique.

• Sports gear like a soccer ball, football, or baseball bat.

• Musical instruments for band or orchestra kids.

• Pets for the ultimate personal touch.

• Books, cameras, or hobbies that reflect personality.

These details capture your senior’s individuality and make the photos more meaningful years down the road. For even more inspiration, you can check out my blog where I share ideas from past sessions.
