When it comes to graduation portrait sessions, choosing the right outfit and grooming can make all the difference in how polished and confident you look in your photos. Here are some tips to help you prepare:

For Young Women:

• Clothing: Opt for classic, timeless styles. Solid colors or subtle patterns work well, as they keep the focus on you. Dresses, blouses, or tops with clean necklines (like V-necks or scoop necks) pair beautifully with the graduation gown. If you’re not wearing a gown, consider a blouse or dress in a neutral or jewel tone that complements your skin tone.
• Hair: Style your hair in a way that makes you feel confident and comfortable, whether that’s down, half-up, or in a neat bun. Avoid dramatic new styles right before your session to keep your look natural.
• Makeup: Keep your makeup natural and photo-friendly. Matte products photograph better than shimmery ones, and a touch of translucent powder can help reduce shine. Bring a little lipstick or gloss for touch-ups.

For Young Men:

• Clothing: A button-down shirt is a great choice, paired with dress pants or dark jeans for a sharp, clean look. A solid-colored tie or bow tie can add a nice touch. Avoid busy patterns or logos that might distract in the photo.
• Hair: Get a fresh haircut a few days before the session to allow it to settle naturally. Style it neatly but in a way that feels true to you.
• Grooming: Make sure facial hair is trimmed or clean-shaven, whichever fits your usual style.

General Tips:

• Accessories: Keep accessories minimal. Simple jewelry can work well, but avoid anything too flashy.
• Fit: Clothes that fit well are key—nothing too tight or overly baggy, as this can affect the overall look.
• Graduation Gown: If you’re wearing a gown, bring it along clean and wrinkle-free. Consider ironing it the night before.
• Hair & Makeup Last Touches: Bring a comb, hairspray, or hair ties for any quick fixes, as well as a makeup touch-up kit for shine or smudges.

With these tips, you’ll look polished, confident, and ready to celebrate this exciting milestone!

Yes, you will need to borrow a gown (and stole if your school has one). For Charles P. Allen High School we do have gowns, stoles, and grad hats.
