I think it's about time for seniors to get their senior portraits done.. or maybe you already did it. Want to share your experiences and any tips for this? I'm sure a lot of people would like to know including me!!

I'm taking mine next thursday at this studio called Vakker and I don't know what kind of clothes to wear cuz i can bring 5 sets of clothes... also i don't know how i should do my hair
any suggestions?

[jjessiessong]

i am taking mine pretty soon too...

ppl told me to wear solid colors with long sleeves so ur arms won't appear fat. and try not to wear black cuz it can't be differentiated from ur hair (if you are Asian)...

and try not to have a haircut right before or get a tan right before cuz it will look awkward.

don't forget to smile!

A small necklace always looks nice, but remember, pearls are hard to pull off! Most of the girls that had pearls during my year looked like an old lady.

i'm getting mine taken next fri.

they have an outfit for us for our yearbook portrait..and i think we're allowed to bring 1 additional outfit (or more for extra fee)

I'm still trying to decide on my additional outfit + hair...any suggestions? i'm on the chubbier side and judging from this year's yearbook the photos aren't very flattering AT ALL...even for those seniors that are SUPER GORGEOUS in real life/other pictures

[eliteninja]

yeah, i already took mine and chose
i just wore one outfit

try to smile differently, i smiled the exact
same in all the pictures so they kind of looked
the same to me; but it's up to you

i wore a top with a print on it, but come to
think of it, i think it would have been better
if it was solid XD

man mine was 30 bucks! how much was yours? we didnt go into a studio tho, the camera people came into our cafeteria

[lovejoo]

^ omg me too!! they had their stuff set up in the study hall place XD
i had to pay $30 >.<

all of my friends who go to different schools didnt have to pay
im like wtf....
my school is poor :/

[aznchocol8luver]

wow $30....

mine is $75 total.. with like a makeup artist.. 20 to 25 previews and indoor/outdoor settings and 4 sets of clothes u can change into
buh each session are 2 hour n 15 minutes long

oh mine was with the 50% discount.. original price was $150 .. geez

so i guess wearing solid colors r the best idea.. buh i was plannin to wear this striped shirt would that be bad?

holy cow. i wanna go to your school. haha.

[aznchocol8luver]

haha well this is at like a professional studio.. like we have to do that outside of school and yup

[hpnotiq]

AH I have to set an appointment for my pictures.

A lot of my older friends that already graduated got their hair done when they took their pictures. Is anyone else doing that? I'm actually thinking of getting my hair done too.

[aznchocol8luver]

im thinking bout that.. buh most of my friends who did it jus had their hair down n straighten n thats it... i guess the less complicated the better it is?

[roar00]

ionoes for my year girls just curl their hair themselves and some just leave it straight down
i just left mines straight down..yeah the less complicated the better for me i guess lol

[amy3may]

I'm taking mine in two weeks! i'm really nervous. Im just taking the yearbook pic and it's only $15
I hope it turns out alright.

[CryingIvy]

Mine was scheduled for July 5th, but I missed it so I have to reschedule.

We have uniforms for our official Yearbook Senior pictures. Boys have black tuxedos and girls have off the shoulder black dresses. It's funny because it's only the top half of the tuxedo and the top half of the dress. It's like a slip on, since in the picture you'll only be able to see the top part anyways.

But i think i'm going to go take separate portraits at another place (since I don't really like the company the school chose senior pictures)

[thesarahchong]

Gah, I have to make my appointment.
I received a packet full of different studios to take them from, and they're all so expensive.
Sitting fee + Package (or a la carte) + $60 dollar deposit. Which means all of them are $60+, most are actually $80+
I wish our school did a general senior portrait session-- but unfortunately, we have to find our own places.

I'm kind of leaning toward an outdoor sitting, so should I stick with a white long-sleeve or is that too generic?
Because I don't want to wear something that might not match with the background-- because I'm not sure what plants/flowers will be around me.

Stupid lifetouch. My pictures got mixed with another girl from school. I got her pictures and she got mine. that is so messed up. what should I do? haha... Lifetouch is at fault for this. sheesh... I mean, yeah we're going to switch our pictures back, but I wanted to see my pictures first.

[hearts&kisses]

i didnt know people paid to get their senior pictures taken... guess i got lucky and my school got to do it for free.
but we have to pay to buy our pictures.

[SophiaSan]

im taking mine at Yuen Liu??
o.O;

i need to do it before september...lmao

[cyberfruit]

I have no idea when mine are scheduled.
