One of the most frequent questions I get about senior photo sessions is what do I wear? Planning all the outfits and looks ahead of time will help eliminate stress, and create a more enjoyable experience for both you and your parents. 

Quick Note : The majority of our senior photoshoots are done in natural lighting, outdoors in the South West North Dakota area. Always keep the weather and back drop in mind when shopping for outfits! If you are shooting infant of green trees you may want to wear something that isn’t green. Catch my drift?

Check out my favorite outfits for boys below!
