Your senior year is such a special milestone, and your photos should capture not just how you look — but who you are. One of the biggest questions we get is: ā€œWhat should I wear?ā€ Don’t worry — we’ve got you covered! Here are some tips to help you choose outfits that will make you feel confident and look amazing in your fall senior photos.

1. Coordinate with Fall Colors šŸ

Autumn is full of rich tones — think rust, mustard, olive, burgundy, navy, and cream. These shades pop beautifully against golden leaves and warm sunlight. Neutrals are always a win, but adding in one bold fall color can really make your photos shine.

2. Bring Variety šŸ‘—šŸ‘•

We recommend bringing 2–3 outfits to give your gallery a mix of styles. Think:

  • A casual look (jeans + a cozy sweater or flannel)

  • A dressy option (flowy dress, tailored jacket, or button-up)

  • A personal style piece (sports uniform, band outfit, or something that highlights your hobbies)

3. Layer It Up 🧣

Fall weather can be unpredictable, so layers are your friend. Jackets, cardigans, or scarves add texture and interest — and you can remove them mid-session for a different look.

4. Keep It Timeless ✨

Trendy pieces are fun, but make sure you mix them with classic looks. You’ll want to love these photos for years to come!

5. Shoes & Accessories šŸ‘Ÿ

Your shoes will show in some shots, so make sure they complement your outfit. Boots, loafers, or clean sneakers are great options. Don’t forget accessories like hats, jewelry, or even your letterman jacket to add personality.

6. Be Yourself šŸ’•

Most importantly — choose outfits that feel like you. If you’re uncomfortable or tugging at your clothes, it will show in the photos. The goal is for your personality to shine through, not just your wardrobe.


Fall is the perfect season for senior photos, and with the right outfits, your gallery will be full of confidence, personality, and style. Bring options, have fun with it, and let’s capture the start of this exciting new chapter! šŸŽ“šŸ‚
