Caroline Farish's mom Melissa has been planning her senior pictures since she was a sophomore, and who can blame her with a beautiful, sweet, busy daughter?
So she was my first senior session of 2018. We did her photos in June, and though it was hot in Texas, we started inside so it didn't seem bad. Besides, our blood all runs thin down here after a few years so we were fine!
This charismatic, outgoing girl is involved in national honor society, tennis, "Charger for Change," Church Youth Group, and she does tons of volunteering. She loves hanging out with family and friends and each Summer she goes to Belize to work on a mission trip and the people there are part of her favorite memories.

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!
