What to Expect with Tristin Nicole Photography
As your photographer, my priority is to create a fun, personalized, and relaxed environment for your senior session. I want you to feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, so your photos truly capture who you are. Before your session, I send out a detailed questionnaire to connect with you and learn more about your interests, favorite Clemson memories, and vision for your photos. This helps me tailor the session to you and ensures we’re capturing the moments that matter most.
What to Wear for Your Clemson Senior Photos
Choosing the right outfit can make all the difference in your photos. Here are some tips:
Stick to Timeless Pieces
Avoid overly trendy clothing and opt for classic styles that will stand the test of time. The trend as of lately is a cute white dress. Always pack an extra outfit with some waterproof flip flops if you decide to go for a dip in the reflection pond.
Incorporate Clemson Colors
Show off your Tiger pride with orange, purple, or white. A Clemson sash or graduation stole adds a nice touch. Jerseys and decorated caps, champagne bottles, or your favorite accessories are always fun.
How to Prepare for Your Senior Photo Session
Book Early
Clemson senior photographers get busy, especially in the spring. Secure your session well in advance to get your preferred date. Check out my current calendar or request a date if my schedule doesn’t accommodate your needs. If you want to include your friend group- I am down! Just personally message me and we can chat details.
Pick the Right Time of Day
Early morning or golden hour (just before sunset) provides the best lighting for natural, flattering photos.
Use the Questionnaire as a Guide
My pre-session questionnaire helps us brainstorm ideas and locations that fit your personality and style. It’s a great way for us to connect and make sure we’re on the same page.
Relax and Have Fun
The best photos happen when you’re comfortable and enjoying the moment. I’ll guide you every step of the way and make sure we’re capturing your authentic self.
