5 Accessories To Bring To Your Senior Session

A great way to add personality and uniqueness to your senior pictures is to bring along your own accessories! Certain accessories have the ability to elevate an outfit, make your senior photos your own, and really add an element of fun!

Think about it… this session is all about YOU and your life at this very moment! What things can you bring to your session that will help you memorialize your senior year?

HERE ARE 5 ACCESSORIES TO BRING TO YOUR SENIOR SESSION:

Sunglasses: these can always add a fun element to any session outfit you bring! Pair your retro outfit with sunnies that fit the era, or go for classic aviators to add a timeless look to your fave wardrobe piece! We can take a few shots with them on your face, then the rest with them on your head, or we can remove them all together – it’s up to you!

Hats: for a spring session, opt for a baseball hat, boaters hat, or even a bucket hat to keep your look light and fun. When the weather turns cool for your senior session, go with a wide-brimmed hat, beanie, or beret in deeper colors to match seasonal trends.

Jewelry: whether it be earrings, bracelets, necklaces, or rings, you can never go wrong with adding jewelry to your session outfits. Remember to bring both gold and silver jewelry to match your outfits and give plenty of variety to your looks. Speaking of variety, bring a few statement pieces as well as any jewelry that you always wear to make your styling more personal.

Props: to make your session true to you, pack your grad cap and gown, any recreational sports gear, as well as props that reflect your hobbies. These items will help memorialize your senior year and this amazing time in your life and will also set your senior pics apart from everyone else’s as they’ll be specific to you.

College Gear: know where you’re going after you graduate? Bring your college sweatshirts, acceptance banners, hats, and flags to share your college pride! These are also great photos to put in your grad announcements to tell everyone where you’ll be spending the next chapter of your life!
