Your senior session is coming up, and you’ve got an outfit to put together. Maybe a few.
Here’s a week-before checklist for checking the clothes, finding the extras, and getting your bag ready. Use the timing that fits your plans.
A week before: try on your outfits
Put each look together with its shoes and accessories. Walk around, sit down, and see whether you like how everything fits.
Hang the outfits together or keep them in one place. If you want to change a piece, you’ll have some time to look for it.
Check the count against your booked session, too. It’s nice to know which looks are coming before you start packing the shoes.
A few days before: check any appointments
If you’re planning to have your nails or hair done, check the time and leave yourself room to get ready afterward.
You can also choose the hair and makeup look you’d like to wear for photos. A practice run with the whole outfit might be fun if you want to see it together.
Three days before: find the little things
Set aside the jewelry, hair accessories, and personal items you’re bringing. Check whether your clothes need steaming or ironing so you can get that done before you pack.
If you’re including sports gear, a book, or something else from your life, put it with the session bag. Give the small things a place before they get put away somewhere very sensible and very hard to remember.
Two days before: confirm the plan
Check your session time and meeting place. Look at the route and think about how long you want for the drive.
If you have a question about the plan, ask us. This is also a good time to send over an idea you’ve been meaning to share.
The day before: finish the bag
Add your touch-up items and the things you want for a break. A drink and a snack you like can come along.
Give each outfit another look, including the shoes. Then you can leave the bag ready and do something else with your evening.
On the day: bring the idea you like
Leave time to get ready and check that you have the things you wanted to include.
We’ll talk through where to start when you arrive. Tell us which outfit you want to try first. It’s fun to see the one that made it to the front of the bag.
