There are many traditions that go along with being in high school. There are games and dances to attend and at the end, the student is rewarded with graduation. Before this climatic moment, many students will participate in the traditional senior portrait. There will be some students who only do this because it is what their parents want, however, there are many more that look forward to this time as a right of passage. When choosing their senior pictures Lubbock seniors will have many choices to make.

Each student will have their own goal of how they want their pictures to look. Likely, everyone will want to look like a million dollars. The most popular time frame to have these pictures taken is the summer before twelfth grade. Choosing summertime will allow the student to be more relaxed and it can be expected that this alone will help create better photos.

Generally, when a person has less stress in their lives, their skin will be clearer. This lack of stress can also mean bigger and brighter smiles. Being careful when experiencing sun exposure is a good idea for everyone and especially for the student who is preparing for their important photo shoot. While they will likely look healthier with a little sun, looking like a burnt lobster will ruin an important picture.

Hair is also an important part of any photograph and the student will want to practice doing different hairstyles for a week or so before picture day. Haircuts should also be done a few weeks before the big day as this will give the hair a little time to grow in order to avoid a picture hair disaster. A student who is prepared in knowing what they are doing with their hair will be less stressed on the day of the pictures.

The student's wardrobe decisions can cause a tremendous amount of stress for them. Each photo package will include between 3 and 6 wardrobe changes. It does not matter what type of clothing the student chooses as long as they choose something that is comfortable and well fitting. If a person wears jeans all of the time, wearing them in the picture will make more sense than then wearing a fancy outfit. It is important that the student be allowed to show their personal style.

It would appear that boys have less to worry about when it comes to having their pictures done. Guys generally want to be dressed comfortably and have their hair in place. Girls on the other hand, will be worried about their hair and clothing. How their makeup looks will also be a huge concern to the fashion conscience girl.

Many girls own glittery makeup because it is fun to wear. However, it is important to note that this type of makeup can prove disastrous when worn during a photo shoot because it does not work well the photographic lighting that will be used. A girl should concentrate on keeping her makeup very natural and light.

When choosing senior pictures Lubbock teens need to concentrate on the message that they are sending others about themselves. It is popular to include animals and other props in the photographs in order to exhibit who they really are. Not everyone likes their picture taken, however, the senior portrait allows others to see their individuality.
