Hood River Senior Photos & Outfit Tips | Maria

For Maria's senior photos, she wanted nature, waterfalls and beautiful views. Read through to the bottom for senior session outfit tips! In Hood River and the Columbia River Gorge, there are so many incredible locations for senior sessions. We decided on two locations, not too far away from Hood River. The first location featured stone cliffs and beautiful views over the Columbia River. Maria was a natural in front of the camera. It was quite a windy day and there was a chill in the air. In between outfits Maria warmed up in a blanket. Despite the cold, she kept smiling and the photos turned out amazing.

The second location was Latourell Falls. This is my favorite waterfall in the Columbia River Gorge. The walk to the falls is easy and you can get really close to the waterfall. That makes this location so special. Maria braved the cold mist and walked up to the falls. She was carefree and relaxed and that made the session fly by. I love the green dress Maria wore in front of the waterfall. It was the perfect pop of color. Senior photos in the Gorge are always a great idea. Great job Maria, Congratulations!!

What to Wear for your Senior Photos | Outfit Tips

Choosing your outfits for senior photos should be fun and exciting, but sometimes can be stressful. For girls, here are my suggestions. Plan on 2-4 outfits, with one of them being something new. Your other outfits should be what you wear normally, a favorite t-shirt or pair of jeans. Senior photos should reflect who you are, and your clothing style is the perfect way to show your personality. Plan on at least one casual outfit and one dress. For sessions in the Columbia River Gorge, it's usually windy, so don't go too short for dresses. Accessories are another great way to show off your personality. For shoes, wear something that is comfortable and you can walk or hike for awhile without hurting your feet. I am always here to help with outfit ideas!
