Class of 2022, It’s time for Senior Photos!
Congratulations to the Class of 2022, you made it! The time has come and you're approaching such a big milestone in your academic career. Whether you are graduating from high school or college, this is a time to celebrate all your hard work and accomplishments. Your achievements deserve to be preserved in beautiful photos that you can look back on throughout your lifetime.
If you’re still not convinced that having pictures taken is an excellent way to honor this exciting time in your life, here are some reasons why you should hire a professional photographer to capture this momentous milestone:
Highlight Your Achievements: Having graduation photos taken professionally is always a wonderful experience, but capturing a milestone is just so much more special. You worked hard to graduate. In high school or college, you put hours into your studies, assignments, and various projects. Capturing this moment in your life is something your future self will be grateful for. Do not forget to bring along any trophies, ribbons, or awards you won to include in your photos! You earned those through hard work and you should be proud of yourself.
You Can Personalize Them: Bring along some memorabilia or have the photos taken on your school campus! Adding in this extra element of personalization will make these photos that much more special. You could have your photos taken on campus in your favorite spots or bring along your cap and gown, your favorite school sweatshirt, or baseball cap. Anything representing you and showing school spirit is a beautiful addition to your graduation photos and will take your photos to the next level.
You Can Include Your Family & Friends: Inviting friends and family to be a part of your graduation photo session is a beautiful way to capture your life at that moment. Let's face it, you and your friends are moving on to the following chapters in your lives, and you may have long periods when you cannot see each other. Having graduation photos with your friends will keep those memories alive and be a reminder of who was standing next to you during this glorious period of your life. Moments like graduations are always more special when shared with those you love; why not include them in your photos.
You Can Use the Photos for Gifts: This is a bit more of a practical reason to get your photos done professionally rather than sentimental, but your graduation photos make for great gifts. Be it a birthday or the holidays, putting your graduation photo in a frame, and giving it as a gift is thoughtful and personal. No stressing about what to get grandma, your parents, or even your best friend this year. Grab some beautiful picture frames and you have the perfect gift to give!
You’ll Have Professional Headshots: If you are graduating college and are entering the workforce, you will need professional headshots for your social media accounts, particularly LinkedIn. Your (potential) future boss is most likely going to look at your social media. Making a good impression through your profile picture that you are mature and a professional is going to go a long way!
Overall the most important reason to get professional photos done for your graduation is to celebrate your accomplishment. You worked hard and you deserve to be recognized for all your efforts and achievements! These photos will last a lifetime for your future kids and grandkids to see.
