Preparing for your senior photo session involves more than just choosing the right outfits. To ensure you have a smooth and successful shoot, here's a checklist of what to bring:

1. Outfits and Accessories

• Multiple Outfits: Bring a few outfit options to provide variety in your photos. Include both casual and dressy options.
• Accessories: Bring jewelry, hats, scarves, belts, and any other accessories you might want to use. Remember to keep accessories simple and coordinated with your outfits.
• Footwear: Pack different pairs of shoes that match your outfits, including comfortable options if you’ll be changing locations or doing a lot of walking.

2. Personal Items

• Props: If you have personal items or hobbies you want to include, such as a musical instrument, sports equipment, or a favorite book, bring them along.
• Personal Touches: Items that reflect your personality or interests can make your photos more meaningful and unique.

3. Grooming Essentials

• Hair and Makeup Kit: Bring a small kit for touch-ups to maintain your look throughout the session. This might include a comb or brush, hairpins, lip gloss, and a compact mirror.

6. Essentials for Location Changes

• Bag or Tote: Use a bag to keep your clothes and accessories organized, especially if you’ll be changing outfits or locations.
• Portable Steamer or Iron: If needed, to quickly remove any wrinkles from your clothes.

7. Important Documents and Information
