Made your big decision?! 

Submitted your deposit and reserved your spot in the Class of 2027?! 

Where did you pick?! 

WAIT! Don’t let this moment regarding your huge announcement pass you by without a little fun and creativity. Here are 10 ways you can show the world where you’re off to for college in your senior photography session and make it the big deal that it is.

1. BRING A PENNANT! You can hold it up, hold it down, hold it any way you want! It’s cute and you can hang it on your wall when you are done!
2. SMOKE BOMBS OR POWDER CANNONS- They aren’t only good for gender reveals, you can buy the colors of the college you are attending and pair it with a shirt as well to really send the message!
3. A GOOD OLD HOODIE- Seriously who doesn’t love a hoodie! You can pair it with your favorite pair of jeans or cutoffs, I will choose the best photography pose, or I’ll make ya run around and laugh to get that genuine emotion!
4. SCHOOL FLAG- we could wrap it around you, have you run with it blowing in the wind! The possibilities are endless!
5. ALL THE SHIRTS OF THE COLLEGES YOU GOT ACCEPTED TO-Received a bunch of different shirts from your top colleges? Put them all on, then take each shirt off, one by one, until the final shirt proudly displays your new home away from home.
6. PHOTO SHOOT AT THE COLLEGE- If the college is nearby we could go to the college you got accepted to and have a senior photography session there!
7. CUSTOMIZED BALLOON SCULPTURES- are a unique and exciting way to liven up your big college reveal! 
8. FUN PHOTOSHOOT WITH YOUR BESTIES- You can all wear the shirts of the colleges you got accepted to! This is a fun time in your life and you want to share it with the ones closest to you!
9. MOCK SIGNING TABLE- We can set up a press table if you received a scholarship for sports– we will give it that ESPN vibe!
10. SURPRISE YOUR PARENTS- We can announce to your parents at your photo session where you got accepted to– and I will catch their reaction on camera– these will be memories you will cherish forever.

CONGRATS on all your hard work!!! I can’t wait to capture your senior photography session in a fun, authentic way!!

Don’t forget to include your acceptance photo on your graduation announcement… we want all you family and friends to know where you got accepted to!!!

Your senior year and your senior portrait session are your time to shine! As a senior portrait photographer I want to capture YOU! Just as you are at this moment in time! So pack a bag full of props that scream you!!!!
