In Newport Beach, high school senior pictures are crucial photos to have taken. Many parents spend time searching for the best photographer, while seniors take hours to choose the most appropriate outfit to wear for their photo session. Senior pictures mark a milestone for high school seniors and illustrate to parents how much their child has grown over the last 18 years. To get perfect senior pictures Newport Beach students should do a few things.

One of the important things to do is to choose the right outfit. The right clothing can allow your face to dominate the photo. Every other element in your portrait should be secondary. Therefore, choose clothes devoid of busy patterns and bright colors that can draw the eyes to the clothing rather than the subject. It is also advisable to choose outfits that are not likely to go out of style fast. Strive for a timeless and classic look by choosing an outfit that can still appear attractive twenty years from now.

It is not advisable to use products you have never used before. For example, do not use a new face product a day before the photo shoot. It can cause an allergic reaction that will be visible in the photos and turn out horribly.

Remember to get enough rest for a week prior to your photo session. Many times people wear out themselves and they look tired on the day the pictures are being taken. The photographs will not look good and even twenty years to come, people will see your tired look when the photos were being taken.

If you wear jewelry, include important or special jewelry for that day, but keep in mind that too much jewelry may be distracting. Try to limit what to accessorize so it does not interfere with your portraits. For example, pendants may appear distracting because they are hard to keep in place as you move around when posing for the photos.

Considering the color of clothing is also essential. Solid colors are great. Darker shades usually can make you look slim. Do not go for neutral colors or flesh tones such as gray, white, pale pink or peach, beige as these colors will dominate the portrait and make you look washed out. Consider choosing clothes that have dark tones such as brown, green, wine, blue or rust so that your pictures will come out nicely.

Choose clothing that accentuates your best features. If you are a lady, forego spaghetti straps or short sleeves, if you have heavy arms, as these kinds of clothing will stress only this feature. If you have a long neck, tops with turtlenecks can accentuate this feature. If your face is square shaped or rounded, you can choose clothes with a square-neck top. If you have a pointed chin or thin face, you can opt for clothing with round neck tops.

Another way to make the photos attractive is to personalize them with props. Most Photographers will allow you to bring props to the photo session like musical instruments, sports equipment, or items that are related to your hobbies. You can also bring a pet to be included in the shots.
