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. These fashion Do’s and Don’ts for Senior Boys’ Portraits will help you plan your outfits for your upcoming senior picture session!
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 backdrop 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?

What Not to Wear for Guys

- Stay away from tank tops.
- Don’t wear overly branded clothing or outrageous graphic tees (unless it’s part of your everyday style).
