1. Go with your senior. They may tell you to stay home, however, they may need you for hair patrol or costume malfunctions.
2. Speaking of costumes: Most photo sessions allow several different outfits: Dressy, casual, and
a uniform from an activity or sport. Wear solid colors that are complimentary. Simple jewelry is recommended. Pearls for the girls during the formal sitting.
3. Props. Bring as many as you can carry. In the past, I have seen footballs, easels, violins, and a bearded dragon (my middle child). One young lady wore her boxing uniform with hot pink boxing gloves. Cool!
3. Bring a bag with hair products, brushes, make-up and snacks. This is the senior photo that will be in their yearbook. Talk about pressure for a teen!
4. Be prepared to wait. Long lines with prissy girls are inevitable. Think of the day as a parent-bonding time. The memories will last a lifetime.
5. Most photographers are excellent. However, as a parent, try to push your way to the camera area. Your trained eye will spot a wondering hair or stray bra strap.
5. After the sessions end, ask a staff member if the proofs are available to take home.
You and your senior will enjoy the results of your day spent together. Most photography studios allow you to buy a package and choose the official yearbook picture online.
If you don't pick the yearbook picture, the studio picks it for you.
It is the beginning of the end of their high school era. The cap and gown pose causes many parents to weep.
