What to Wear for Your Spring Senior Session
Spring is the perfect time for senior pictures! With blooming flowers, warm sunshine, and beautiful natural backdrops, your senior photos will have a fresh and vibrant feel. But what should you wear for your spring senior session? No worries—I’ve got you covered!
At Sarah Hilts Photography, I love helping high school seniors create stylish outfits that showcase their personality while making the most of the season’s bright and airy aesthetic. Here are my top wardrobe tips to make your senior portraits stand out:
Floral Patterns
Spring florals are a must-have! Unlike fall styles, spring florals tend to have larger, more playful prints. You’ll find them on everything from crop tops and rompers to mini and maxi dresses. Want a boho-chic look? Try soft watercolor florals. If you love a more polished, high-fashion vibe, opt for bold appliqué floral designs often seen in resort wear.
Pastel Tones
Spring colors are all about soft and dreamy vibes—delicate pinks, lovely lavenders, buttery yellows, and blissful blues. Pair them with crisp white for a fresh, sophisticated look, or mix in light-washed denim for a casual, laid-back springtime style.
Bold & Bright Colors
Bright hues can make your portraits pop! While neon colors don’t photograph well, rich jewel tones like magenta, cobalt blue, jade green, and soft lilac are perfect. These shades complement the natural wildflowers and greenery in your background, creating a stunning contrast.
Flowy & Voluminous Fabrics
Movement in your photos brings them to life! Whether it’s tiered ruffles, statement sleeves, tassels, or flowy maxi dresses, extra fabric adds a touch of elegance and fun to your session. Long skirts and flowy dresses also look incredible in windy Outer Banks beach photos!
Spring Accessories
Details matter! The right accessories can complete your look while adding personality to your senior photos. Try trendy spring sunglasses, straw hats, layered dainty necklaces, headbands, and woven bracelets for a natural, effortless vibe.
