North Rim Photography
Everything you need to show up confident, look incredible, and actually enjoy your senior session.
By Joel Jauregui | 200+ senior sessions photographed
“I have no idea what to wear.”
“What if I look awkward in every photo?”
“I don't know how to pose. Like, at all.”
“My mom wants perfect photos but I just want it to be over.”
Every single one of these is fixable. This guide shows you how.
When to book, how to pick locations, morning vs evening light, and the exact checklist of what to bring.
Outfit ideas by vibe (classic, trendy, casual, dressy), colors that work in every season, and the layering trick that makes everything look better.
Weight shift, the 45, what to do with your hands, the chin trick, sitting poses, and walking shots. The basics that make everyone look good.
When to get your haircut, why day old hair photographs better, matte vs dewy, and a skincare timeline starting 3 weeks out.
A step by step schedule from 2 hours before to the final shot. What to eat, when to get dressed, and how to handle nerves.
What happens next, when you get your photos, how to share them on social media without ruining the edit, and a note to parents.
Joel has photographed hundreds of high school seniors. The ones who love their photos aren't the ones with the most expensive outfits or the “model look.” They're the ones who showed up prepared.
This guide is the exact same advice he gives his own clients before their sessions. Everything from what to wear and what to bring, to how to pose when you have zero idea what to do with your hands.
13,000+ words of real advice. Not generic Pinterest tips. Real photographer knowledge.
One tiny adjustment that makes every standing photo look 10x more natural.
Push forward and slightly down. Sounds weird. Looks incredible. Every model does it.
Why washing your hair the day BEFORE gives better results than fresh clean hair.
A plain tee photographs flat. Add one layer and suddenly there's depth and dimension.
Exactly which colors to wear for spring, summer, fall, and winter sessions.
Why nerves disappear after the first 5 minutes and what to expect in that window.
High school seniors (and their parents) who want to get the most out of their senior photo session. Works whether you hire Joel or any other photographer.
That's exactly who this is for. Being photogenic is a myth. It's really just knowing your angles, knowing what to do with your body, and being relaxed. All learnable.
