Senior pictures are a rite of passage for graduating high school seniors. It’s a time to document your accomplishments, style, personality, and this major life milestone. To ensure you have the best possible experience, you’ll want to make sure you bring the right items. From clothing and props to comfy shoes, here are 3 things to bring to your senior session to make the day memorable and enjoyable.

 01. Class Ring

Including your class ring in your photos is a great way to commemorate your senior year.  Whether it’s a traditional gold ring with your school’s crest or a modern and more personalized take on the classic, having your class ring with you during your senior session is a great way to add meaning to your photos, which will serve as mementos from this important moment in your life. In addition to a class ring, a letterman jacket is another popular item that adds meaning and represents this exciting season of life.

02. Props + Accessories

In addition to your class ring, you may want to consider bringing along some props and accessories to personalize your senior session. This can help create a more unique and interesting look for your photos, as well as add a touch of your own personal style.

For example, you can bring along items that represent your hobbies and interests. If you’re a musician, bring your instrument or a music stand. If you are an athlete bring sports equipment or your jersey. Or maybe you are a dancer or an Equestrian like the seniors below? Then bring your dancing shoes or uniform, or reach out to me about how to include your horse! These items and props give your photos a personalized and unique touch and help tell your story.

You can also bring along accessories like jewelry, sunglasses, hats, or scarves. These items can help you create a variety of looks and will add a fashionable touch to your photos. Try to select items that reflect your personal style and that will complement your outfits.

Pro Tip: Don’t forget your belt!! This common accessory is often forgotten at home.

03. Comfortable Shoes

The last thing you’ll want to remember to bring to your senior session is a pair of comfortable shoes. You’ll likely be walking around a lot between locations and you don’t want your feet to be in pain. If you’re planning on wearing heels or another type of dressy shoe for your session, consider bringing a pair of sneakers or flats. This will allow you to move around more comfortably without worrying about your feet hurting. 

Your senior session is an important life milestone!  To ensure you have the best photos and experience, be sure to bring these 3 things for your senior session. Each of these items will help make your senior session a memorable and enjoyable experience.
