There’s something so special about senior sessions in Lafayette, Indiana — the mix of open fields, soft light, and that calm Midwest feel just makes everything come together so naturally.

This recent senior session was the perfect example of that.

From the start, she brought such an easy, confident energy. Nothing felt forced. We laughed, explored a few different spots, and captured a mix of candid and styled moments that truly felt like her. That’s always the goal — photos that reflect personality, not just poses.

WHAT DO I WEAR?

One of the biggest questions I get before any senior session is: “What should I wear?”

And honestly, what you wear makes a huge difference in how your photos turn out — not because it has to be perfect, but because it should feel like YOU.

For this session, she chose a dress that was rustic and unique, timeless, and flattering — which photographed beautifully in every setting.

Dresses

Flowy dresses are always a favorite for a reason. They add movement, texture, and a soft, effortless look to your photos. Even a slight breeze can completely elevate the shot.

Neutrals + Soft Colors

Think whites, creams, soft blues, or earthy tones. These colors photograph so naturally, especially in outdoor Lafayette locations.

They don’t distract — they enhance.

One Casual Look

Having at least one more relaxed outfit (like jeans and a cute top) adds variety to your gallery and makes everything feel more “real life.”

It balances out the dressier looks perfectly.

Shoes Matter More Than You Think

Shoes can either complete an outfit or pull attention away from it.

Neutral sandals, boots, or simple sneakers usually photograph best and keep the focus on you.

What to Avoid

Super busy patterns or loud logos

Neon colors (they reflect weird tones on skin)

Anything uncomfortable (you’ll be able to tell in photos)
