Today I am sharing hair tips for teen photography sessions and its all about preparation! In addition, I am going to introduce you to the first beautiful model in our High School Bound Sessions, Sarah.
I encourage my tweens to be the best version of their everyday self for these sessions.
This is not the time to go for the high fashion or glamor look. I do recommend a blow-out if my girls are up for a little extra pampering. Getting a blow-out will allow the hair to hold it’s style longer and prevent a lot of little flyaway hairs. My style of photography uses backlighting which can accentuate the little fly away pieces of hair.
I also encourage my girls to wear their hair down and relaxed.
Incorporating motion in the session is always so fun with hair. Flipping it, tossing it, and just a simple head shake allows the girls to relax, feel confident in front of the camera and most importantly – HAVE FUN!
Now it’s time to meet Sarah!

I liked how she would ask us questions to loosen us up and make us more natural in front of the camera. She played our favorite music.
