Grad Picture Checklist

Schedule your appointments.

Haircuts, makeup, manicures … whatever touch-ups you’re planning, make sure to get on your stylist’s calendar early.

Create at least 3 basic looks.

You’ve picked your photo session. You know what type of style you’re after. Now it’s time to bring all the elements together.

The more outfits you bring to your photo shoot, the more options and styling flexibility you’ll have within your session. You’ll want a minimum of 3 head-to-toe looks:

• Parent Pleaser - This is the one you know they’ll love showing off for years to come. Think a crisp shirt and great jeans, with nice shoes and classic accessories for a timeless look.
• Grad's Choice - What’s the most “you” thing you do? Bring along your musical instrument, a paint palette or another object that shows off your most important personal interest.
• Activities - From sports to chess club, your activities make up a big part of your high school experience. Bring a team jersey, danceline costume or favorite debate duds to commemorate your achievements.

Take Care of Final Details and To-Dos

• Make sure clothes are clean and wrinkle-free. (Drop off items for drycleaning 1-2 weeks ahead of time.)
• Gather all your shoes, accessories, jewelry, props, styling tools, etc. in one place.
• Double-check your scheduled session time on your postcard.
