"Aw thanks! I rented it!"
Okay I have to admit, I am new to the outfit rental game. We definitely didn't have anything like this during my high school senior portrait era. When my senior showed up to her session with multiple drop dead gorgeous (not to mention expensive) dresses and outfits I was speechless! Once she told me that she had only spent around $100 on renting them, I KNEW I had to share this info with all my future clients! So let me try to convince you that renting is so worth it for your senior photos.
Renting clothes for senior photos can help you feel confident and look great in your photos without breaking the bank. Because let's be real- you have already invested time and money into the session itself, and that $400 LoveShackFancy dream dress is just a bit (ok a lot) out of the budget! With renting, you can find outfits that go perfectly with your style and the overall vibe you are wanting to achieve in your photos.
Renting offers access to a wide variety of clothing styles and sizes, allowing you to experiment with different looks and outfits that might not be easily accessible or affordable in stores. Rental sites have amazing brands like LoveShackFancy, Free People, Anthropologie, For Love and Lemons, Mac Duggal, and more!
You'll avoid buying the "worn once and never again outfit." I remember my mom getting on to me for wearing an outfit once and never again. Let's be honest I'm still guilty of this sometimes. After the photoshoot, those new clothes could sit in a closet, taking up space and possibly never being worn again. The best part is that if you LOVE the outfit you rented, you can purchase it at a discounted price after.
So here's the details! I recommend Nuuly and FashionPass!
Nuuly allows you to choose 6 different pieces for $98. Don't worry, an easy google search can find you a discount code for extra savings! You can keep the 6 items for about a month, so if our session gets rained out or an emergency happens, we can absolutely reschedule to a new date before you have to send your outfits back! For more info on how it works and frequently asked questions, click here.
Fashion Pass allows you to rent 5 clothing items + 1 complimentary accessory with each order. At the time I am writing this post, you can sign up for your first order for $59 with email sign up! For more info on how it works and frequently asked questions, click here.
Hope this helps you save a little bit of stress and money when choosing your senior portrait outfits! For more outfit tips, check out the senior session guide!
Can't wait for your session!
