Getting ready for senior pictures? I have already posted about how to wear your favourite cowboy boots for your senior portraits, so go check out that blog post here: What to Wear for Senior Pictures in the Woodlands and Spring – Cowboy Boots Edition. With spring sessions almost fully booked for the class of 2016, let’s talk spring dresses!

You have your trendy outfit, your favourite jeans, your letterman jacket, and maybe your prom dress or your favourite cosplay costume all packed up and ready to go. To round out your senior portraits, and celebrate spring, consider showing your sweet girly side with a flowy spring dress in an airy neutral or pastel shade, to coordinate with the blooming spring wildflowers.

Some tips and inspiration:

THE ESSENTIAL STYLE
Do you see yourself in a long plain dress, with a big floppy sunhat and espadrilles adding colour and character?   Or would you rather wear this season’s trendy print, in a fresh spring shade?  Choose the colour palette you want to build off, from neutral to vibrant florals, taking into consideration the vibe you want to give off — sweet and innocent, fresh and bright, or airy and emotive.

 

THE CLASSIC WHITE DRESS
One of the freshest looks for spring is the classic white dress. It can be styled up or down, hippie or hipster, uptown or country. The beauty of the plain white dress is that you let the supporting colours and accessories take center stage. Adding blue or teal feels beachy and an ode to summer, while adding warm tones like coral or sunset orange feel earthy and floral. And any footwear — from high heels to bare toes — won’t look out of place.

 

ADD ACCESSORIES
Glam your outfit up or down with hats, scarves, belts and boots. Go shabby chic with tasseled headpieces  or boho style with a floral crown with barefeet. Keep the colour tones in mind and try to mesh your accessories so they make sense — natural fibres with earthy toned clothing, petite and girly for feminine and airy sundresses, nude heels with classic styles. You can even add on matching props, such as umbrellas, flowers, feathers or shawls.

This beautiful senior chose one of my favourite spots for her senior portraits! With some old style buildings, the country vibe and the natural elements like wood and long grass, this whole senior session was so much fun to style and shoot for that pure Texan look with her boots and a gauzy white shirt.

Since we shoot for 3 hours, my seniors get multiple outfit changes, for several different looks. This senior started with a gorgeous formal black dress with lace, and her hair was perfectly styled with long ringlets at my preferred stylist.

 

We walked around the shops and found some nice buildings with geometric shapes to add interest to her senior portraits, using architecture. This is always adds a nice variety to a senior session, especially when a portion of the shoot will be done in a field or grassy areas without landmarks.

 

 

This simple white shirt is classic and really highlights the airy feel the location, without distracting from her beautiful eyes. The cut outs on the arms add a fashionable flair! Consider bringing some pieces for your senior session that are unique and show a little of your personal style.

This gorgeous high school senior came all the way from Austin to have her senior portraits taken in Magnolia with her horse, and what a fabulous session it was! This is the first part of her senior portrait session, with her riding habit around the barn and with her beloved horse.

As with all high school senior photography sessions with Shannon Stroubakis in the Woodlands and surrounding areas, we shot for three hours with multiple outfit changes and Miss Natalee had her hair and make up professionally done by my expert stylist in a private salon room in the Woodlands.  At our Pre Consultation, we went over the perfect styling for her senior portrait session, and came up with the best way to showcase her amazingly unique style and personality!

These portraits with her sweet horse were just magical. The light and this stunning dress could not have been more beautiful.
