Seniors and Juniors: SAVE THIS POST for session day prep tips!

Senior Session Prep

February 23, 2023

When it comes to your senior session, educating yourself and being prepared will save you a lot of undue stress. We are here to help you with a round of Do this, not that: Senior Session Prep edition!

Here are 5 things to remember when getting ready for your senior session:
DO: hang each outfit on a single hanger and steam your wardrobe the day before your session
DON’T: stuff your outfits in a duffle bag

DO: get a trim & color refresh with your hair stylist a week before your session.
DON’T: opt for a big chop or new color right before your session.

DO: exfoliate and moisturize your lips nightly the week leading up to your session.
DON’T: neglect your chapped lips and expect your photographer to edit them.

DO: get a mani/pedi with a soft neutral polish a few days before your session.
DON’T: arrive at your session with crazy nail colors and/or chipped polish.

DO: bring some inspirational images to show your session makeup artist & hairstylist.
DON’T: expect your makeup artist & hairstylist to know what you want without visuals.

Did you know that we give our AKP clients a welcome packet and client hub full of downloadable guides to help them prepare for their stress-free session day?! We do! Our clients LOVE that we don’t throw them to the wolves when it comes to getting session day ready. If you’d like that kind of attention to detail, we are currently booking for March and April and the Fall Class of 2024 sessions, and those spots are selling out fast! DM and let us know you’d like to book a session with us, and we’ll start your booking process!
