While you’re prepping for the photo shoot, take a few minutes (like maybe 5 minutes) and think about the answers to these questions:
1. When do I love myself the most?
2. What is one of my favorite memories?
3. What do I want to carry with me into my next chapter?
4. Lastly, who do I want to be as I start this new chapter?
TruReflections Photography is all about being true to yourself and loving all the things that make YOU shine. Bring any props that signify the answers to any of these questions. You will be the focus at your Senior Session, but here are some tips to enhance your confidence:
- Know your style! Are you a vintage girl; edgy, a cowgirl, a bookworm, etc?
- Practice in the mirror! Your confidence will be soaring if you already know how you look from the center, right, left, upside down; your smile, your smirk, etc. Take five (more) minutes to practice.
- Be Yourself! These photos are a celebration of you and all that you’ve accomplished so remember that all of the special YOUness helped you get to this point.
- Meditate or ‘Power Pose’! Try meditation or spending a couple minutes in the ‘power pose’ right before your Senior Session. It will help clear your mind of all the insecurity and remind you to love yourself.
The Essentials:
- Hand-on-the-Hips
- Look Back over your Shoulder
- Hip pop
Remember, these portraits are for you. There is nothing you are supposed to do except show up!
