How to prepare for your senior portraits

April 19, 2018 Allison Marshall

Congrats, graduate!! 

I'm so excited for your next adventure, now that high school (or college!) is done!

Pictures are a great way to celebrate & remember your past achievements as you prepare to continue your journey to make your dreams into reality.

Here are my top 3 tips for how to prepare for your portrait session!

1. Get excited!
Being in front of a camera can feel awkward & intimidating, but no worries! I'll walk you through all the poses, and we'll be sure to pick a location that suits your personal style so that you'll feel right at home!

2. Get spiffy!

Pick your favorite outfits, and for the gals, get your hair & makeup & nails done! When you feel great you look great!
(And if DIY is your thing, I have a post about how to do a polish-free manicure right here.)

3. Get special!

Special things, that is! A couple of your favorite accessories adds a lot of character to your session, so whether its a favorite hat, a college sweatshirt, an instrument, a pet, or something else, feel free to bring it! 
Having a friend or parent come along is also such fun! They can hop into a photo, too for extra memories!

My hope for you is that you always dig into the learning process as you explore all the possibilities in the journey ahead!

All the best,
Allie

Let us examine our capacities and gifts, and then put them to the best use we may. As our own view of life is of necessity partial, I do not find that we can do better than to put them absolutely in God’s hand, and look to Him for the direction of our life-energy.
🌷
God can do great things with our lives, if we but give them to Him in sincerity. He can make them useful, uplifting, heroic.
God never wastes anything.
God never forgets anything.
God never loses anything.
🌷
As long as we live we have a work to do. We shall never be too old for it, nor too feeble. Illness, weakness, fatigue, sorrow, — none of these things can excuse us from this work of ours.
🌷
That we are alive today is proof positive that God has something for us to do today.

When you have to kiss your baby sister a bajillion times because she’s more interested in grass than in her “crouching tiger” auntie with the giant camera, you just do it...
...baby sister IS pretty cute after all 🥰

Valentine’s Day is a-comin’!
♥️
I’ll be sporting heart socks most likely and finding ways to incorporate pink & red into my photos and food.
💖
Suuuure. It’s just another day in the year, but holidays are an extra reason to smile and savor the little things.
