Laura goes to Billy Ryan High School in Denton, Texas. She likes anything by Bob Dylan and the song "Memory" from the musical "Cats." She's a super smartie pants headed for UT Austin in the Fall. Laura likes to shop at Forever 21 and Charlotte Russe, enjoys seeing movies and eating popcorn, taking care of her goats, watching the Spurs play and vacationing in California.
Laura chose the "Senioritis" session at a local park, and we got so many wonderful images I just had to blog her shoot!
Her favorite quote is "You aren't learning anything when you're talking." Lyndon B. Johnson
Here are some tips for how to prepare for Senior Portraits:
1. Choose clothes that are flattering to you and your figure and coloring regardless of what is in style... If you don't look your best in white jeans. Don't wear them. If the top is completely shapeless and you have a small waist, for heaven's sake, find something fitted, but not super tight to where your underwear shows.
2. Check your fingernails! Make sure they are clean or painted. Chipped fingernail polish looks terrible.
3. Don't tan too much or get a burn before your photos.
4. Your hair will need to move, so even though it may be curled or straightened, it will eventually "fall." Relax and go with it. Movement in hair is beautiful!
5. Bring props that reflect your interests or those you used to enjoy, or plan to major in. You can be creative! If you want to travel the world, bring a globe!
6. Bring more clothes than you think you need. Put the outfits together and get a ziplock bag and put any jewelry, special underwear, or lipstick into in that bag and poke a hole in it and hook it onto the hanger. Time is precious when the light is pretty, and changing needs to be quick!
7. Bring a strapless bra. Bra straps are nearly impossible to photoshop.
8. Hats make great props. You can wear them, play with them, pose with them. Try to bring a hat for at least one outfit.
9. Take the black ponytail holder that is always around your left wrist off before we start shooting your session! Hahahahahaha!
