What to wear for Senior Pictures - DFW - by Flower Mound Photographer Lisa McNiel

If you look good in red, definitely incorporate it. It looks great against green in nature and pops in pictures. This darling floral mini dress Avery chose shows why she has a fashion blog. She knows her stuff!

Super high heels may be uncomfortable to wear to and from locations. It's a good idea to bring flats to wear and then switch when we get to the best session spot! And remember to make sure those fingernails and toenails look good if they will show!

The outfits above and below are great from head to toe because:

1. They are fashion-forward - Don't be afraid to be "extra" if you want to in your clothing choices. You'll want to remember what was in style when you show your own children.

2. They coordinates from head to toe. The SHOES!

3. They fit like a dream.

4. Great use of accessories (hat and sunglasses.)





Avery straight up looks like a model here and I love the blue against the red of this vintage barber shop!




When we changed it up for night shots, she changed into an "After 5" dress, jewelry, and sparkly heels.

Be a 2021 Senior Model! with Flower Mound Photographer Lisa McNiel

Be a 2021 Senior Model!


What's it like to be on a Senior Model Team? Would I like it? Would I be awkward? Would I fit in? How much time is required? How much does it cost?

There is no extra charge to be on my Team 2021 (other than the cost of Senior Pictures) and you receive social media size digitals from the Group Sessions.

 The Senior Model Program at Lisa McNiel Photography is a way for a small group of the Class of 2021 to experience group styled shoots in different situations, practice their modeling skills before taking Senior Pictures, have fun, create a memory, and receive extra media files through these at no additional cost. When I want to try a new location or have a special opportunity to shoot on location, I draw from this team first.

 What are we looking for? Well-groomed Girls and Guys with positive, friendly personalities who are involved in the community, active on social media, and like Lisa McNiel Photography's style and image quality enough to share and promote it personally and on social media in an authentic way. I'd like to represent different sports and activities and schools, but also include friend groups as the energy between them is natural and contagious. I plan to do 3 styled shoots that all my Senior Models will be invited to.

 Last year, we did Prom, Deep Ellum, Independence Day, and College Shirt group model sessions. Models should plan to be involved in the Prom shoot. Senior Models are required to book a session with me, and a $250 retainer will be collected if you are chosen. It goes toward your Senior Session and to hold your spot on my calendar. There is no extra fee to be a model.

My current model team represents Marcus High School in Flower Mound, Guyer High in Denton, Grapevine Faith, Boswell High in Fort Worth, and Byron Nelson in Trophy Club, but I photograph seniors from all over Dallas, Southlake, Coppell, Plano, and even have teens  from as far as Tyler, College Station, Austin, and Amarillo.
