Are college graduation photos worth it?
As a college senior, you might be wondering, "Should I even bother with senior photos?" It's a question a lot of students ask. I get it. You don’t want to waste your time or money on something that doesn’t feel worth it.
But I’m here to assure you that college senior photos are more than just a fluffy tradition. They’re a way to capture a super special moment in your life before you head into your next big adventure!
So, let’s dive into 5 reasons why taking college senior pictures is actually a really great idea.
Five Reasons Why You Should Get College Senior Photos
CELEBRATE YOUR ACHIEVEMENT
Um, milestone much? After years of hard work, college graduation is a major achievement you’ve accomplished. Senior photos capture this moment and celebrate everything about this important event in your life.
YOU'RE ABOUT TO NEED CURRENT PRO PHOTOS OF YOURSELF
The last time you had professional photos taken was probably when you were a high school senior. A lot has changed since then! After graduating, you’re going to need updated headshots for profile pics, job applications, and more. And guess what? Your college senior photos can easily double as professional headshots! Two birds, one stone, my friend.
MEMORIES OF YOUR COLLEGE CAMPUS
College campuses are beautiful, and taking your photos there will remind you of where you’ve spent some of the best years of your life. Looking back on them in years to come will bring back some of those great memories from your time there. Plus, campus locations make stunning backdrops!
PERFECT FOR GRAD ANNOUNCEMENTS & THANK-YOU'S
Senior photos are a great way to share your big accomplishment with the people who’ve supported you along the way, like family, friends, and professors. They can be used in grad announcements. Or you can print them and give them out as thank you gifts.
CELEBRATE YOUR FRIENDSHIPS
Your session doesn’t have to be alone. You can include a few shots with your best friends! You’ve done so much together, why not do this together as well? Not only will it be a blast, but it will help you remember the bonds and friendships you formed and make great memories you can look back on for years to come.
