3 things you can do to begin getting ready for your Tampa Bay senior photos
If you’re a rising high school senior who’s thinking about your upcoming senior pictures, or even an underclassmen who just can’t wait, you don’t have to wait to begin getting ready for an epic senior photo experience! Here’s 3 things you can do right now to get a head start on senior pictures:
1. Start dreaming it up ✨
Raise your hand if you've ever dreamed about your wedding details...
Well, your senior shoot is a celebration of ONLY you and so it absolutely deserves the same attention, don’t you think?! Now is the time to create your senior shoot Pinterest board.
If you don't know what you want your photos to look like, start searching Pinterest for photoshoot looks and see what images pull you in the most. You can discover a lot about your aesthetic that you may not have even considered before.
I walk you through exactly what to pin to your board after you've booked a senior shoot with me for your senior photos in Tampa Bay, but here’s a quick tip: try to avoid looking at other senior photos and instead look at editorial photoshoots by magazines, fashion, makeup, decorating styles and favorite travel locations.
2. Start drinking your water 💧
They say it takes 21 days to make a habit, so if you're not already, get in the habit of staying extra hydrated. Water can do wonders for your body and it will help keep your skin glowing and healthy.
Carry your water bottle with you everywhere you go and set a goal to need to refill it as many times as it takes to drink half your body weight in water. (in addition to compensating for sweating, and coffee, tea, and soda intake)
This is something you'll want to stay consistent with since your body being fully hydrated is something that happens in advance not just as you are drinking the water.
3. Begin thinking about how you want to use your senior photos 🖼
Few people think beyond the actual photos. It's SO much more than just getting the pictures taken. There are so many things you can do with your senior photos aside from just posting them on the internet to get lost in a sea of social media posts.
Will you have a senior dedication page in the yearbook? Will mom and dad be missing you after you move away and could use an easily enjoyable display on the wall? Will you want to be able to flip through an album with your grandchildren to show them how they look (and dress) just like you when you were their age?
And do you want to DIY all of this or have someone make sure it gets done for you while you are enjoying the last days of your childhood? All of these are things you'll want to have in mind when you are deciding when to schedule and who you will be scheduling them with.
Planning ahead is the key to amazing senior photos. The earlier you start preparing the less stressful your experience will be and the better the final results.
These are just 3 easy things you can do right now to begin the planning process but there are so many more things that come with getting prepped for your big moment. If you'd like someone to walk you through every step, I got you!
