What not to do for senior pictures?

What not to do for senior pictures?

Don’t wait until the last minute to book your session, and avoid trying new hairstyles or makeup right before the shoot. Don’t wear wrinkled or overly trendy clothing you’re not comfortable in. Come prepared, stay relaxed, and trust your photographer—it’s about capturing who you really are in this moment.
