I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Are you ready? Here it goes. You’re never too old to play dress up. Your senior pictures are the perfect opportunity to let your personality shine through bold and fun outfit choices and accessories! Over the past decade plus, I’ve photographed hundreds of senior sessions and seen every style trend under the sun! Whether your style is timeless, colorful, edgy, or unconventional, I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite senior photo outfit ideas to inspire you. Let’s jump in!
Western Attire
Pink Owl Photography is based in North Carolina, so obviously, western style outfits will always be a staple in my client wardrobe. Nothing puts you in touch with your southern roots more than throwing on a pair of bedazzled cowgirl boots and a stylish cowboy hat! I love that this look sort of falls on a scale between midwestern dude-ranch diva and small town country girl depending on your personal style. Get inspired by some of my favorite southern girl outfits for senior pictures!
Sundresses
I think we all remember the great sundress debate that recently circulated TikTok. Did we ever decide what exactly constitutes a sundress? Regardless of your preferred sundress style, I think we can all agree—this flirty, fun outfit trend isn’t going anywhere. Here are some of my favorite floral and ruffled sundress outfits from this season!
Tulle Fabric
If there was one trend that undeniably overwhelmed the senior pictures circuit this year, it was tulle everything! In perfect Pink Owl fashion, pink tulle definitely took center stage with my seniors! I am living for this versatile fabric that brings dynamic movement, texture, and color to every photoshoot. Accessorize your tulle mini dress with a denim jacket, statement jewelry, and sky high heels or let it stand alone. Either way, this bold trend refuses to be overlooked.
Monochromatic Outfits
Remember when Lady Gaga gives a private concert in season 3 of Gossip Girl and the entire moment is defined by her iconic red dress? Combine that with Hailey Bieber’s monochromatic little red dress outfit from last year and you get Tatum’s in-studio senior photoshoot.
This model moment had me in a chokehold from the minute Tatum stepped in front of the red backdrop in her head to toe all red look. IMO, this edgy, bold choice perfectly pushed the fashion envelope and let Tatum’s personality shine.
Dressing for The Decades
Whether you’re channeling 70s, 80s, or 90s girl vibes, we’re definitely in our ~decades era~ over here at Pink Owl Photography. I love putting together a themed shoot where the outfits, hair, makeup, and accessories all coordinate perfectly! Our seniors have rocked every era: from the loud, retro patterns of the 70s to the effortless girl next door looks of the 90s. Here are some of my favorite outfit ideas from decades themed senior pictures!
