The Top 5 Must-Have Graduation Photos for Your High School Senior | Denver Senior Photographer
Congratulations, parents of high school seniors!
So your child is about to graduate! Maybe this is all excitement, some tears of joy, or even a sigh of relief — maybe a mix of all three!
This can be an emotional time for a parent, but you’ll want to make sure that you document this exciting time with photos to look back on!
The Top 5 Must-Have Graduation Photos for Your High School Senior
Here are the top 5 must-have photos to capture during the month of graduation time for your child:
Last Day of School: It was a staple in my childhood to take a picture every year on the first day of school. But don’t worry if that’s something you haven’t captured. Instead, snap a photo of your senior on their final day of school!
The Graduation Ceremony: This is a no-brainer, but there’s one important caveat here. As parent of the graduate, don’t be caught up in trying to capture the picture yourself. Instead, hand this task off to a relative or another child. While you want to capture your child walking across the stage to receive their diploma, you also want to be able to take in the moment!
Cap and Gown: You can’t forget the details! Don’t forget to take a few photos of your child in their graduation cap and gown, as well as any other academic achievements. Since it’s an outfit that will probably only last as long as they have to wear it, set aside a few minutes to be ready early so you can take these photos at home or once you get to the graduation venue.
Family & Group Portraits: Don’t forget to take some time before the ceremony, after the ceremony, or at least at the graduation party to gather family and friends together to take some photos. This will be a great reminder of high school friendships, as well as family celebrations!
Senior Portraits: Last but certainly not least, don’t forget to set up a professional photography session to capture Senior photos for your graduate. These are more than just pretty pictures. A great senior session will take the time to capture your child in who they are and celebrate them during this time. Showing off their personality, style, and interests to commemorate who they were as this chapter ends and they embark on their next adventure! Plus, grandparents and family members will want a few too, so it makes it an easy gift!
In conclusion, capturing these must-have photos during the month of graduation time will help you have your child's memories for years to come. Don’t just try to DIY these photos — hire a professional photographer to ensure that you get the best possible images and so that YOU as the parent can soak up the moments in celebration for your child and family.
Congratulations to your child on their achievement, and enjoy this special time together as a family!
