Clothes for your senior session can feel overwhelming. From dresses to shoes to accessories, it can seem like a big puzzle.


Your Stephenville photographer is here to help! The good news is that picking the right outfit is simpler than you think.


Before we talk about colors, remember this important part: You must feel comfortable and confident in what you wear. Even the “perfect” outfit won’t look good if you don’t feel like yourself. So pick something pretty, do your hair and makeup if you want, but make sure you feel beautiful before you leave the house.

What colors look best for senior photos?

Color wheel diagram to help seniors pick out their senior photoshoot outfit for Blazin J Photography

Always resort to the color wheel. Whatever color you are wearing   or the main colors in your hair and eyes  look at the opposite side of the color wheel. This creates beautiful contrast and makes your photos pop naturally.

Example:

If you have bright blue eyes, wear reds, oranges, pinks, or corals. These colors make your eyes stand out in photos.


You don’t have to be exact. Just use colors that are across from each other on the wheel. This trick works great for senior sessions and helps your best features shine.

Below you will see some examples that show how these color combinations make the clothes and your features look better.

Abbi's

Senior look

Abbi has bold green eyes and dark hair, eyebrows, and lips. She wore a beautiful lilac (light purple) dress. Green and purple are opposites on the color wheel. The lilac dress made her green eyes light up! The lighter dress also gave her skin a pretty glow and balanced her deeper features perfectly.

Summer look

It doesn’t always have to be about fancy tops or dresses. Sometimes a simple casual outfit works great. Taylor wore blue jean shorts with a signature pair of red boots. She has bright blue eyes, and her whole look felt fun and natural for summer. The casual style let her personality shine through.
