5 Ways To Improve Your Senior Portrait Experience
Senior portraits are a special and exciting moment in every high school senior's life. It's a milestone that captures the essence of your youth, and it's a beautiful keepsake that you'll treasure for the rest of your life. But sometimes, getting senior portraits can be nerve-wracking, stressful, or not as enjoyable as it should be. Here are five ways to make sure that you have the best senior portrait experience possible from Sacramento Senior Portrait Photographer, Lacey M. Carroll Photography:
1. Plan Ahead - Don't wait until the last minute to schedule your session. Plan ahead and schedule your portrait session for a date that works well for you and your photographer. This will give you plenty of time to prepare, choose your outfit, and ensure that you're feeling your best on the day of the shoot. Summer Senior Sessions and Fall Senior Sessions are very popular here in Sacramento, CA
2. Choose the Right Photographer - Start by researching different photographers in your area and finding someone whose work you admire. Look at their portfolio and social media posts to make sure their style fits your vision. Here at Lacey M. Carroll Photography, we specialize in bright, poppy, editorial images that give you Magazine-Worthy looks!
3. Plan Your Outfits - Plan and choose your outfits ahead of time, and make sure they reflect your personality. Pick clothing that flatters your body and makes you feel confident. This is why Lacey M. Carroll Photography offers Fashion Consults for all Senior Portrait Sessions right here at our studio in Sacramento, CA. Fashion consults take 1-2 hours and involve customizing looks just for you! We can also plan for the season! So if you have a Summer Senior Session planned, we can find looks that incorporate Summer fun!
4. Self-Care Prep - Make sure to groom yourself properly for your portrait session. Get a haircut a couple of weeks in advance and ensure your nails and skin are in good condition. Once you book, Lacey M. Carroll Photography sends you a complete “How To Prep For Your Senior Portraits” guide before your senior portrait session, with a timeline included! Protect yourself from the sun before your Summer Senior Session! We recommend applying and reapplying sunscreen to avoid sunburns.
5. Go With The Pros - By working with a professional Hair & Makeup Artist (HMUA), not only will you reduce your stress on the day of you Senior Pictures, but you also give yourself peace of mind, knowing that you will look effortlessly stunning. Professional HMUA also know how to work with different skin types and complexions and hair textures so they can work with your individual needs and preferences. Lacey M.
