Your Quince Session is a terrific way to celebrate your Quinces.  You may have doubts whether you should do a Quince Session or not.  This is perfectly normal.  Chances are in years to come you will be happy with your decision to take Quince Pictures.

Don’t worry! Being a little nervous about your Quince session is totally normal, and it’s okay to have questions. That’s why we put together this little guide: to help you feel completely prepared for getting some amazing photos to mark this accomplishment!

Schedule early

Your birthday may be a year or more away, it is a good time to start planning today. Think about what season you want to take photos in, and book your session at least two months ahead of time.Certain times of the year quince sessions book fast, especially from November to March, so the earlier you book your session, the better!

Get inspired

Once your session is booked, start looking around for inspiration. While your photographer will have plenty of awesome ideas for your images, if there’s something specific you want a shot of, be sure to let them know! Pinterest and Instagram are both great places to find images you like, and you can even check out some of our quince sessions to get an idea of the kind of images we can create Supanik Photography.com

Choose what to wear

We generally recommend about five outfits for your Quince Session.  Some girls like to wear all formal dresses.  Casual wear is a nice way to balance our your quince session portfolio as well as pictures from activities you might be involved in such as dance, band or a sport. If you don’t know don’t worry, Lily our stylist is terrific helping you style your session with dresses, casual wear and accessories. 

Make sure you’re comfortable

When choosing your outfits, it’s important to pick something that allows you to move around easily. This is especially important when picking out shoes. Go with something comfortable over something stylish. However, if you absolutely want to wear a pair of heels, bring along some sneakers to change into for any walking.

Practice self-care

A little pampering can go a long way in helping you look your best. In the week before your senior session, be sure to drink plenty of water to give your skin a fresh, healthy look. You also want to get plenty of sleep so you look well-rested, especially the night before your session.

Plan on painting your nails, wait until the night before to do it. Chipped nail polish will be noticeable in some of your images.

Day of your Quince Session

Be sure to get a good night sleep and have a good breakfast.  You will start early to have your hair and makeup done in our studio.  After we will take studio pictures and then off to the location of your choice.  It is a long day, so we want to make sure you are fresh for your entire session.

Show off your personality

Your parents will want some nice posed photos, but don’t be afraid to show off your personality in your images, whether that’s a funny face or a goofy pose. Your Quince Session should be a fun experience, not just something to get through. We’ll do everything we can to help you feel comfortable and make sure you’re having a good time. After all, the best images are the ones that capture your authentic personality!
