I think there will be both types...

I would wear pair of my best jeans with cute classic looking top. I just would make sure it is still really who u are but just glam yourself up bit more. That way you can go looking back and say hey thats really who I am at that moment rather than getting allll glammed up. Its just my opinion. And that's what I did and I still dont have regrets after umm 8 years?

Wear a very basic top (no lace or details because they look funky, even if the top is black... trust me!) in a neutral color that goes well with your skin tone and hair color. I've never heard of full body senior pics, but if it is then I would say the same for the pants. Anything trendy will just look dated a few years from now.

I agree with the suggestion for a basic top -- I often think that a v-neck (not too low, obviously) photographs very attractively for something like this, and then you can wear a favorite classy necklace. I think that a somewhat strong color photographs well and is better than a black or white -- maybe a deep purple, red, green, etc. -- depending on your complexion.

Here are a few guidelines that work for most photo situations:

Avoid patterns. They don't photograph well and they can date the photo.
Don't wear really bright or really pale colors next to your face; they wash most people out and don't photograph well. Generally, very bright colors aren't a good option at all, top or bottom.
Wear something simple and classic that fits you really well.
Keep your jewelry simple. You may love your wooden dangly earrings now, but 5 years, 10 years, 20 years from now, they may look ridiculous. Go for something sparkly like diamond or CZ studs in your ears- they'll make your whole face light up. And if the neckline of your outfit allows, wear a simple silver or gold necklace (whichever color the metal in the studs is).

As for the changes of clothes, you can probably have a little bit of fun with these, if they are full body shots that won't be in the yearbook. Most yearbook photos are just headshots, even if they're senior pics. I had a few full body shots for my senior pics.

Here are some ideas:

1. Classically Chic:

2. Cute & Casual

I would wear a pearl necklace, because they are always in style.

And if I were you I wouldn't wear the baggy figure-unflattering shirts that are out now. They can be cute, but in 40 years you'll want to have a picture that flatters beautiful figure you had in your younger years!

I think my yearbook picture is going to be the cap and gown and then the other pictures which I buy and pass out with my graduation invitations (I think) will include cap and gown, casual and dressed up & maybe one more. In most of my sisters senior pictures they include her whole body so I am guessing mine will to.

I like the second outfit that Kenzie posted and I think I may do something similar to do that for the casual. I cant wear any tube tops because of my really bad tan line

I was thinking about wearing one of my newer dresses either the brown v-neck that I have posted in TS before or my black and white flower halter dress.

Any opinions or more ideas?
