Senior Pictures What to Wear Tips | Stuart Portrait Photographer

They're your favorite pair of jeans and you want to wear them for your senior pictures.  However, they've become a little tattered and worn.  Never fear, it's the fashion... dare I say senior portrait fashion, to wear ripped jeans.  It's part of the street style look.

If you are looking for tips on what to wear for your senior pictures, this is one that you can have fun with.  Who doesn't love a good comfy pair of jeans?  Senior portrait style should reflect who you are at this incredible and singular time in your life.  If ripped jeans and street style speak to you then that is the what you should wear in your pictures.

This street style trend can take on so many looks.  Whether you're a fashion forward senior who loves lace and a little more refined look, pair the jeans with a lace tip and a blazer or jacket.  Or, put some lace on the inside of the ripped area so it shows through the gaps.

Perhaps you want a more casual look for your senior pictures.  Add a simple crisp white button down blouse or white tee.  Accessorize with some chunky metal jewelry, and you've got a more street look.  Whatever direction you choose for your senior portrait wardrobe, these tips will guide you through.

Here are a few fashionable looks for ripped jeans.  All of the images were found on Pinterest.

What to wear tips for senior pictures.
All of the items on this what to wear guide are located on my Pinterest board titled ripped jeans.  Take a peek for more inspiration and to locate where these items came from.

Are you looking for your senior pictures photographer?  You've come to to the right place!  Amy Tara Photography offers an unparalleled experience for the fashion forward senior.

Senior Pictures Sneak Peek | Stuart Portrait Photographer

The heat radiated through the shade, yet we were able to capture some amazing pictures of Bella during her Amy Tara Photography senior portrait experience. 

Managing to look fresh throughout the entire photo shoot during the heat of the summer here in Florida can be quite a challenge.  At times it almost feels as if a you would melt, truly melt.  But, Bella pulled off each of her looks flawlessly.  

Here is a quick little sneak peek of her senior pictures.  As a portrait photographer one of my favorite parts of the job is sharing the sneak peeks!  And there's more to come next week.  I can't wait for Bella to see all of her pictures... to die for, if I may say so myself!

Sneak peek:

Oh, and by the way, did I tell you what an absolute doll this young lady is?!  And did I tell you she brought the most amazing outfits, including an awesome tulle tutu in hot pink, that she made herself.  LOVE!

More coming soon so stay tuned!

Sarah's Senior Pictures | Stuart Photographer

Ballet or beach?  Grassy field or rich green foliage?  What will it be for your senior pictures?

Several weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Grove City High School senior, Sarah, for her senior portrait experience.  I am humbled and honored that she came all the way from Ohio for me to capture this special time in her life... of course, she wanted beach photos.  And so, we did that, too!

Although we were faced with a dreary, rainy day, we managed to dodge the raindrops and find some lovely light peeking through those monstrous rain clouds.  I think we even had a glimmer of sun at one point.  That said, we definitely felt the humidity.  We were dripping by the end of her senior portrait session!

Along the way Sarah donned her ballet outfit complete with black tutu, point shoes, and hat.  She looked so cute!  I loved watching her demonstrate her ballet moves.  We even dodged the traffic so we could make use of the colorful yellow lines in the street.  She danced among them and they truly frame her in.

Along the way to the beach we noticed a little pocket of light in a lovely green foliage area.  We popped out for a few quick pictures while she was still in her gorgeous orange dress.  Seriously, this girl has style and I personally LOVED this outfit.  Okay, well, I loved ALL of the outfits she picked for her senior pictures, but this orange dress was possibly my favorite!

Gorgeous wardrobe for senior pictures.

Luckily, by the time we got to the beach in Hobe Sound, we found that the light was so perfect, with soft glorious colors intermingled with the clouds.  Her stunning outfit with orange striped shorts, crisp white button down shirt, and orange and gold statement necklace provided the perfect pop for the beach.

The lifeguards were off duty so we were able to make use of the lifeguard stand in Sarah's senior pictures, too.  Of course, we were very conscientious of the beach grass and protected areas.

These are just a few of the images I captured during Sarah's senior portrait experience with me.  I've featured a few more in a previous blog post if you would like to see some additional images from this gorgeous set of senior pictures.  Check out more of Sarah's senior pictures!

Senior Portrait Photo Session in Stuart

Today we welcome lovely Bella to the Amy Tara Photography senior portrait experience.  We'll be photographing Bella at locations in and around Stuart.  I can't wait to see the style and fashion of her wardrobe.  I always feel like a kid in a candy shop on photo shoot days.

So let's see, will it be a park, an old hotel, a brick wall, or beach... or maybe, someplace new?  Hmmm.  I can't wait to see how today unfolds.

Welcome Bella!!!  <3
