Cap and Gown Senior Portraits: Something Special For Graduation
Often I am asked as a senior photographer in Houston, “should I take cap and gown senior portraits?” The trend as of late is to have a fashion-focused portrait session and not to focus as much on your photos with your cap and gown. However, I’m always happy to incorporate some fun cap and gown portraits into your senior photography experience. It is a classic rite of passage type image that will be handed down for generations.
When to schedule cap and gown senior portraits
You have a few choices to achieve the perfect cap and gown portrait!
- If you book your fashion-focused senior session early enough I may have spots available for the window that your cap and gown are delivered.
- Schedule time in your portrait session to wear a cap and gown. It is easy to borrow a cap and gown from a friend or relative that graduated before you. Then we can do this at any time of year.
- You can schedule a separate cap and gown senior portrait session after your cap and gown arrive. This can be a fun on-location shoot or we can do a more formal studio-style setup for the perfect “academic” look.
Either way, this is an element not to forget. Class rings, letter jackets, report cards, and caps and gowns are all elements to remember from your high school career. Relatives love cap and gown portraits and you can start a gallery wall in your office for when you graduate from college. Wouldn’t that be neat to have a portrait from high school and college next to your diplomas? I agree!
Types of Cap and Gown Senior Portraits
The style of your cap and gown session is very customizable for you. Generally, there are three types of senior cap and gown portraits.
- Fun lifestyle portraits. Thrown your cap and gown on at the end of your portrait session.
- Formal and academic. Studio-style images that exude intelligence and a professional demeanor.
- Celebratory gap and gown senior portraits. We can plan a whole session around your cap and gown. Confetti, jumping up in the air with excitement, posing with your college t-shirt underneath. It’s all about celebrating your achievement!
