might be an architecture major in this life but I think she could be fashion in the next 🩷

over the years, I’ve seen these 7 things seriously make or break grad pics… and here’s why

wrinkly clothes → the camera catches EVERYTHING and I can only edit out so much!

forgetting touch-up items → wind + heat + shine happens… having extra items saves the day (look at my what to pack post 👀)

trying a new tanner right before → the color can turn out unpredictable and if it goes wrong… there’s honestly not much you can do last minute

wearing something that isn’t “you” → your grad photos should encapsulate who you are

doing something risky the day before (sunburn, bad self-tan, drinking, staying up too late) → it shows on your skin and your energy

dramatic hair change right before → if you don’t love it, it’s all you’ll notice

waiting too long to book → more stress, less flexibility, and way more rushing than you need

save this for later + trust me… a little prep goes a LONG way 🤍
