Hair, Makeup & Nails
NAILS
Your high school senior portraits are those iconic images that you will back on through the years and remember this special milestone in your life. Would you want to look at your pictures and see neon color nails and flashy designs? Probably not, even if they are in trend right now. So when deciding on your nail polish color, choose light neutral tones. They would go with all of your outfits and would not take attention away from your face in the close-up portraits. We also advise our seniors to stay aways from very long nails and keep them as natural as possible

So whether you Keep it simple or Add a little flare to it with french or bubble braids. Remember to try out the style out a few times before the day of your session.
