5 Tips to Prepare for your Senior Portraits | Atlanta Senior Photographer

Getting ready for Senior Portraits can be an exciting and nerve-wracking experience. You want to look and feel your best, but it’s overwhelming when you think of all the details to pay attention to. My goal is for you to feel confident and anticipate your senior session with joy! Here are 5 tips to help you feel prepared for your luxury senior portrait session.



  1. Schedule a Consultation: One of the steps in the process of booking a session with Mandy Daniel Photography is to schedule a consultation with me. This gives us the chance to talk about your vision and taste, plan your wardrobe (with a trusted advisor), and go over any concerns you may have. We also start to talk about what all your options are when it comes to what to do with your images.
  2. Feel the fit: Before your session, try on your clothes to make sure you are still happy with the wardrobe we discussed and gather up your details. Did you need to shop for anything? Are all your accessories for each look in a bag? Are you changing shoes? Did you remember any props you wanted to bring (hat, jersey, sports equipment, cap & gown)?
  3. Get plenty of rest: Getting enough sleep will help you look and feel your best. You need energy to be a model, anyway!
  4. Bring a friend or family member: Having someone you enjoy being with can help you feel more relaxed and comfortable at your session. Talking to someone and laughing helps bring out your true self and it makes it more fun!
  5. Professional Make up: Oh! Did I mention it’s included with your session over here? Make up and light hair styling is included in your session with Mandy Daniel Photography, so you can relax and enjoy being pampered. Having your make up done and hair touched up gives a special touch to your session so that you are confident and feel special!


Using these tips (and I can think of even more to follow!) will help you feel prepared for a luxury senior session. Just remember, don’t overthink it! Have fun, relax, and trust your photographer to create a personal and beautiful experience and portraits to preserve the memory and who you are during this exciting season of life!
