TIPS & TRICKS FOR YOUR SENIOR PORTRAITS || BEAUTY & FASHION TIPS | MAKEUP ADVICE

Fashion, Hair and Makeup Tips and Advice

Obviously, you want to look like the best version of yourself on your session day. After all, all these photos will be seen by your friends, family and peers for many years to come. Alongside of our awesome Welcome Kit that we send out to our Brand Reps; here’s a few tips for anyone looking to maximize their senior portrait experience with any photographer. Here are a few tips and tricks where beauty and fashion are concerned.

1. Keep crazy accessories to a minimum. For example, if you want to wear those funky cat eye sunglasses, go for it, but don’t let them compete with a super splashy print, giant earrings and a headscarf. You want whatever accessories that you’re adding to make your day special to stand out, but not over power you. A wise person once said: always take off the last thing you put on.

2. Makeup reads differently on camera than it does in real life. That’s why every session with Miss Araebia comes with a professional hair and makeup stylist. If you book with us, you’ll be in the informed hands of a makeup artist who knows just what to do and most importantly they’re there to bring out the very best of who YOU are! Isn’t that the whole point???

3. Think about all the details: nails, hair, teeth, skin. Use a whitening toothpaste in the weeks leading up to your session, really look after your skin and don’t pick (we do offer free blemish touch up, though), and get a manicure the day before. You would be surprise at how much we use your hands in your images. If you’re wearing open toes, spring for the pedi, too. Make sure you drink plenty of water leading up to your day to keep your skin and body impurities free.

4. Practice your hairstyle in advance and take a few selfies to see how it photographs or better yet —> head over to Pinterest and make a board and show us exactly what you’re dreaming up for your senior portraits. Try to keep your true essence and don’t pin a hairstyle that’s “not you.” UNLESS…. You’re going for a totally different look for your 12th year!

5. Don’t make any major changes in the weeks leading up to your session. No faux tans that have the potential to convert you to oompa loompa status, don’t go from black to bleach blonde, no major haircuts that could incite tears, etc.
