🌸 Spring Senior Photo Outfits

Light, romantic, and fresh. Everything is blooming — and your outfit should be too!

Spring Style Inspo:

• Flowy dresses with movement (bonus points for a long train)
• Pastels or brights like coral and lilac
• Light layering with denim jackets or cardigans
• Accessories: dainty jewelry or a sunhat

✨ Pro Tip: Choose something that won’t need constant adjusting — comfort = confidence = killer photos.

☀️ Summer Senior Photo Outfits

Longer days, golden light, and bold color moments. Let your personality shine.

Summer Style Inspo:

• Lightweight fabrics (no sweat marks, pls)
• Bright colors: royal blue, orange, emerald green = YES
• Breezy two-pieces or skirts with movement
• Statement accessories (hello, floppy hats + layered necklaces)

✨ Pro Tip: Save your warmest outfit for the end once it cools down, and avoid anything too tight or heavy.

🍂 Fall Senior Photo Outfits

Cozy layers, crunchy leaves, and main character energy.

Fall Style Inspo:

• Knit sweaters, oversized cardigans, or flannels

✨ Pro Tip: Layers add variety and dimension — and we’ll use them for movement and posing tricks too!

Clean, crisp backgrounds + bold pops of color? A total winter win.

Winter Style Inspo:
