Cap And Gown Senior Pictures

There is something special about the first time you try on your cap and gown before graduation. You have worked so hard for SO long to get to this point. And it is finally here!! As an Augusta photographer I believe that you deserve to have not only senior photos, but also cap and gown senior pictures! Here is everything you need to know about your cap and gown session!

When To Have Cap And Gown Senior Pictures

There are a few variables to consider while planning when to have your cap and gown session. First, is when will you get your cap and gown? Typically cap and gown deliveries happen a few months before graduation so that you are able to try on and exchange for a different size if needed. I recommend that as soon as you have your cap and gown in hand, you should get your pictures taken!! By having your cap and gown senior pictures taken earlier you will be able to send out announcements in time, as well as be able to focus on finals and other plans at the end of the semester.

Who To Bring?

Every senior is different and should have a custom photo shoot! And who you bring for your senior pictures can make such a difference in your experience as well as your delivered gallery. I love when seniors bring their family to their shoots. These are usually very tender and sentimental moments, and make for some of the most memorable images! Also consider bringing your friend group!! You will have so much fun together and get some pretty epic photos!

What To Wear

The most important thing when deciding what to wear for your senior pictures is what makes you feel comfortable and confident! However, I always recommend bringing a few outfit options to your senior sessions for a formal look as well as something more casual. Typically with cap and gown pictures we will want to keep what is under the cap and gown simple. That is why a lot of my seniors opt for a simple white or black dress. However, we will also have time to capture a few shots of you in another look!!

Where To Have Have Cap And Gown Senior Pictures

There are so many options!! I personally love to take my seniors to their school campus! It is an iconic shot to have you in front of your school in your cap and gown. And I promise it will be one that you cherish forever! In addition, a lot of campuses have beautiful gardens, as well as sporting fields to use. However, if you want to venture out beyond your campus I know a ton of stunning location in both Augusta and Aiken!
