You’ve booked your graduation session, now it’s time to prepare! What should you bring for your graduation photos?!
Your cap, gown, and tassel of course!
This may sound like a given. But, lets not forget that cap, gown and tassel you’ve worked so hard for (or any cords or stole). It also makes a huge difference to make sure you steam anything the night before so we don’t have any wrinkles!
Your school jersey
Bringing your jersey is such a fun way to celebrate and show your love for your college! As a graduation photographer, jersey photos are usually some of my favorites from the session. My grads bring them along and can quickly slip them over their dress for a few photos! They add the perfect touch!
Props or anything that represents your memories/time through college:
I love getting to customize my seniors graduation session to who they are. Props are a great way to do that. If you have a pet, bring them with you for a few photos! After all they’ve been with you through your college experience. I love when seniors bring a mini cap or jersey for their pet. Maybe it’s the fur mama in me haha but it’s the cutest! You could also bring something that represents a sport or club you participated in. Whether that’s a uniform, trophy/metal, anything! Or whether it’s a car you love. Lets make your graduation session, YOU!
A touch up kit- lipstick, hair brush or comb:
You never know if you may need a lipstick touch up. I’ve had some seniors bring their lipstick or brush and not need a touch up. But, I’ve also had seniors need a little touch up during their session so it’s always safe to bring it along just in case!
A friend or family member:
This isn’t required I know everyone gets busy, but if you’d like to bring someone along they’re always welcome. I know some of my seniors like to bring someone along for support but some also come alone if everyone is busy or they just want to come by themselves. Either way is perfectly fine. I’m there not only as your photographer but friend as well!
If you haven’t booked your graduation session yet, I would love to work with you!
