Olana State Park Senior Session in Hudson Valley NY

Styling a Senior Photo Session in Hudson Valley

Lexi’s senior photo session at Olana State Park is one of my favorites! Each year, I work with my senior photo clients to find the perfect location based on their style. I also help clients find outfits they will love that showcase what they love. Styling Lexi’s session was so exciting! We chose Olana State Park and incorporated some things she loves, like her guitar! Her outfits also showed off her signature style, made her feel confident, and created a beautiful session.

Outfit Ideas

Nothing can affect your confidence as much as an outfit can. How you dress directly affects how you look and pose during a photo session! My goal is to make each client feel their best in front of the camera. During the planning stage, I get to know the unique style by asking where a client shops for clothes and what makes them feel comfortable.  As a rule, your outfit should not only make you look good, but also feel good. Your photos will reflect the state of your spirit and everything else—outfit included—are details that will just enhance the photo. When you feel great in an outfit, it will shine through. I like to recommend layers to add more colors, textures, and patterns, and for versatility. That way, if the weather changes at the last minute, you can add or lose a layer.

Senior Session Locations

A lot of planning goes into choosing the location with the right atmosphere for your session. For example, one person could love the look of an urban scene with alleyways and vintage walls. Another person might be attracted to greenery and a natural landscape. Whatever your personal preference, we can find a location that will fit your style well!

Personalizing Your Senior Session

On top of your wardrobe and location, there are many more ways to personalize your senior photo session. I like to ask seniors about their hobbies and what they’re currently interested in. Maybe you enjoy playing a musical instrument that we could incorporate! Or if you enjoy drawing, reading, dancing, etc., we could include that.
