How to Prepare for Girl Senior Pictures | Shelbyville Indiana Photographer | Columbus

Jordyn Senior Photos | Class of 2022 | Shelbyville High School


 Welcome to Gina Wiseman Photography!  Gina Wiseman Photography is a Senior Photographer in Shelbyville and serves the surrounding areas of Batesville, Columbus, Edinburgh, Franklin, Greensburg and Rushville, Indiana.


Are you a Senior girl and looking for a guide to help you prepare for your upcoming session?   I know senior pictures are a little stressful, from finding the best photographer (Me, Me, Me!) to finding all the outfits etc.  Check out my guide below!

What to Wear:


*Dress for your style! Show your personality!  Bring one casual outfit and one that is a little more dressy 

*Use accessories such as jewelry, scarves, hats, jackets etc.
      to create layers

      
*Wear what you are comfortable in, you will be moving around.  Make sure to try on your outfits before the photo shoot.  It's important that everything fits, and you feel comfortable


*Wear Fitted clothes, nothing baggy, flowy or too tight


*Wear Soft, Neutral, Muted Colors, bright colors and jewel tones are great too.  Avoid bold patterns and colors.  Solid colors are great, but I also recommend a second outfit has a pattern!  Few things to keep in mind, the camera does not like thin stripes or tiny prints they will look very pixelated.  Avoid wearing solid all black, reds, oranges as those colors tend to be hard to edit in the correct shade


*Make sure you have proper undergarments.  You do not want to have bra straps showing from your outfit or see patterned bras showing through your top. The best bra for photos is a neutral, fitting, strapless one


*Dress for weather


*Iron wrinkles - This is huge!  Bring any extra outfits on hangers to prevent wrinkles


*Don't be adventures!  Don't try something new on photo session day


*Most importantly - Have Fun!


*Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need help with your clothing







Props:

*Props are a great way to personalize your senior session.  Cars, Pets, favorite Sport items are great ideas!  Make sure the props are planned out and ready to go when session time.  Make sure your car is clean!  Also, friends and parents are great props as well!  








Week Before:


*Avoid tan lines!  If you are going to tan (tanning bed or sun) please do so at least 3 days before you session date


*Think about props you may want to bring, things that have special meaning are great to incorporate into your session


*Determine Clothing for your session


*Try on your outfit(s) to make sure all fit


*Determine if you want to use accessories


*If you chose to have professional hair and makeup, make your appointment.  This is not the time to try something new, so stay with your normal hairstyle.


The Day Before: 
*Get a Mani or Pedi if you desire, make sure to choose a neutral so will go with all your outfits


*Lay out your clothes, including any accessories, shoes, under garments (make sure does not show thru outfit)


*Make sure to Iron all clothing and make sure free of stray threads


The Day Of:


*Drink plenty of water!


*Bring a snack in case you get hungry


*Get plenty of rest


*Bring your amazing personality to session


*Arrive with first outfit on to first location chosen


If you have any questions at all, please contact me!  Also, check out a senior gallery below for what a senior session with me is like.

Home Birth Photography | Shelbyville Birth Photographer

Baby Photography, Birth Photography, Newborn Photography, Shelbyville Indiana Wow is all I can say! Photographing Miss Josienne's home birth was amazing, emotional and rewarding. My first time photographing a home birth, I wasn't sure what to expect but it was an experience I will never forget. Mom was simply amazing, her strength was more than I could handle, I may have cried for her. She handled this birth better than I ever could or would have...as I needed all the drugs for pain in my deliveries. Not only did she have amazing support from her  awesome husband and daughter, but her Midwife  http://www.divinebirthmidwifery.com/ and Doula http://www.indybirthservices.com/  was there providing all the support and care mom and baby needed. The love of this family and strength of mom definitely shows these photos. Take a look and let me know what you think.  Stay tuned for the Fresh 48 session, I will be blogging that soon! All the Love, Gina PS.  I...

Senior Pictures in Batesville Indiana | Location Ideas at Ertel Cellars Winery | Lindsey

Class of 2024, Senior Photography, Batesville Indiana    William Henry Harrison High School  | Harrison Ohio Senior Photographer  Today I want to share Lindsey's Senior Photo Session.  She will graduate this spring from William Henry Harrison High School.   Since I live about 1 hour from Harrison Ohio, we decided to meet up at Ertel Cellars Winery in Batesville Indiana.  Lindsey was looking for a  country setting that had a barn, farm feel and flowers.  The session took place in September, so we were lucky to find few fall colors as well as a small field of yellow flowers.   The first location on Ertel's Winery property was an old barn.  Wow! An old, rugged barn was the perfect backdrop for Lindsey and her first outfit selection.  So far, we have checked off 1 of Lindsey's dream locations.     On to the next location...beside the barn was another old, rugged building.  Could not have been more...
