So… somehow it’s spring, graduation is around the corner, and senior photos still aren’t checked off the list? Don’t panic – you’re not the only one, and you’re definitely not too late.
Whether your yearbook deadline is creeping up or you just realized how much you do want photos to remember this moment, I’ve got you covered. Here’s your quick, stress-free guide to getting beautiful senior pictures, even if you’re booking last-minute.
Step 1: Book Your Session (Like, Now)
No shame in the procrastination game. Senior year moves fast and sometimes, photos fall through the cracks. The good news? My booking process is simple, my turnaround times are quick, and I’ve got flexible options to help you get it done without the chaos.
Let’s get your date on the calendar and start creating something fun and unforgettable.
Step 2: Keep It Simple With Outfits
No time for a shopping spree? No problem. You can absolutely create a polished, stylish look from pieces already in your closet.
Here’s what works great on camera:
- Choose something you feel good in – confidence always photographs well!
- Solid colors or soft neutrals (white, tan, denim, olive green… you get the idea)
- No busy prints, logos, or text
- Add layers like a denim jacket, cardigan, or simple jewelry
Step 3: Go Natural with Hair + Makeup
You don’t need a full glam team for senior portraits to look amazing. Keep things light, fresh, and you.
Simple tips for getting photo-ready:
- Style your hair however feels most like you – loose curls, straight and sleek, or a cute ponytail or braid if it’s breezy
- Stick to a soft, natural makeup look – think mascara, concealer, blush, and a tinted lip
- Avoid glittery powders (they reflect light and can look shiny)
Step 4: Choose a Location That’s Easy (and Pretty!)
When time is short, don’t overthink the setting. I’ve got a list of go-to spots that photograph beautifully, are easy to access, and fit lots of different styles:
Some favorites:
- Beachy + Laid-Back: Dreamy golden light, soft sand, and relaxed vibes
- Downtown St. Pete: Colorful murals, fun architecture, and modern edge
- Nature + Greenery: Parks, trails, and wide open spaces with glowing sunset light
Not sure which to choose? I’ll help you decide based on your style, vibe, and the look you want for your photos.
Step 5: Show Up, Breathe, and Have Fun
Even if it feels like you’re rushing, I promise: you’re going to love how it turns out. I’ll guide you through everything – poses, prompts, and all – so you can just relax, be yourself, and enjoy the experience.
No awkward moments. No stress. Just photos you’ll actually want to print and post.
Let’s do this — even if it’s last minute.
