Hi, I'm Angela

Planning your senior session outfit can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be.

I’ve curated a list of my favorite stores and brands that consistently photograph beautifully. Whether you’re going for classic, trendy, editorial, western, or elevated casual, these are my go-to recommendations for my senior clients.

Pro tip: Choose outfits that feel like you, but slightly elevated. Think: your style… but styled.


Dresses (Flowy, Feminine, Statement Pieces)

These are perfect for movement, texture, and that dreamy, editorial feel in your photos. Flowy dresses pair perfectly with my popular open field locations.

💡 Look for: movement, sleeves, texture, and colors that complement your skin tone.


Elevated Basics (Clean, Classic, Timeless)

These pieces photograph beautifully and keep the focus on you.

  • Abercrombie & Fitch – amazing denim + elevated staples
  • Aritzia – clean lines, neutral tones
  • Madewell – casual but polished
  • Everlane – simple, minimal, high quality

💡 Perfect for: a second outfit that balances a more styled look.


Western / Texas Vibes (Perfect for DFW Seniors)

If you love that Texas feel, these brands always deliver.

  • Altar’d State – soft, romantic western style
  • Lane Boots – statement boots that photograph beautifully
  • Tecovas – classic, timeless leather boots
  • Wrangler – authentic denim staples

💡 Pair boots with dresses or denim for a signature senior look.


Budget-Friendly Options (Still Super Cute!)

You don’t have to spend a fortune to look amazing.

  • Lulus – great dresses under $100
  • H&M – trendy basics
  • Target – surprisingly great photo-ready finds
  • ASOS – tons of variety

💡 Focus on fit + color over brand name.


Accessories That Elevate Your Look

Don’t skip these—they make a huge difference on camera.

  • Kendra Scott – classic, polished jewelry
  • Gorjana – delicate layering pieces
  • Anthropologie – unique accessories

My Final Styling Tips

  • Choose 3–4 outfits with different vibes for variety
  • Mix fitted + flowy pieces
  • Have both long dress and shorter dress options for posing variety
  • Coordinate colors with your location
  • Layers help create visual interest
