PREPARING FOR YOUR CAP & GOWN PORTRAIT

Here are just a few tips to help you prepare and look your very best for your high school senior cap & gown portrait:

  • Wear a collared shirt or blouse: A collared shirt or blouse in a solid color or subtle pattern is a classic choice that looks great under a graduation gown. Avoid shirts with large logos or distracting graphics.
  • Consider the neckline: If you're wearing a collared shirt or blouse, pay attention to the neckline. A V-neck or scoop neck can be flattering and help draw attention to your face.
  • Choose neutral colors: Opt for neutral colors like white, black, gray, or navy for your clothing. These colors will complement the graduation gown and ensure that the focus remains on you.
  • Keep accessories simple: Minimalist accessories such as stud earrings or a simple necklace can add a touch of elegance to your look without overwhelming the photo. Avoid wearing overly flashy jewelry or accessories that may detract from your face.
  • Pay attention to grooming: Take the time to groom yourself before the photo shoot. Style your hair neatly and consider wearing light makeup if desired. For guys, a clean shave or well-groomed beard can enhance your appearance.
  • Relax and be yourself: Lastly, try to relax and be yourself during the photo shoot. A natural smile and confident demeanor will shine through in your portrait, creating a memorable and flattering image for your high school graduation.
