βœ… Required for Yearbook + Cap & Gown Photos

If your session includes a yearbook photo:

β€’ Wear a simple black top

β€’ No tank tops, no cutouts, not low-cut

β€’ Long sleeves are best, short sleeves are okay

β€’ Avoid ruffles, trendy necklines, and logos

β€’ This outfit will be worn under your cap & gown

πŸ’‘ Outfit Ideas (For Studio Style, In the Wild, All In, etc.)

β€’ Casual but cute: jeans + neutral tee or fitted top + clean white sneakers

β€’ Trendy-but-timeless: midi skirt or flowy dress with boots or sandals

β€’ Monochrome looks: one-color outfits (all beige, black, white, etc.) photograph beautifully

β€’ Show your interests: bring your cheer uniform, art gear, or favorite accessory

🎨 Color Tips

β€’ Neutrals, pastels, and earthy tones (sage, tan, blush, ivory) are always flattering

β€’ Avoid neon or overly bold prints unless it’s your thing

β€’ Soft colors and textures (like knits or cotton) photograph really well

πŸŽ’ What to Bring

β€’ Extra shoes if we’re outdoors

β€’ Touch-up items (lip gloss, hair brush, etc.)

β€’ Your confidence β€” I’ll guide the rest!
