Is your senior graduating this year? Are you wondering where to take graduation portraits? When most people think of graduation portraits, they think of the standard cap & gown photo, but not in today’s day and age! I received so many requests recently for senior portrait sessions – both at home or a local park and at the school campus. 

Whether it’s graduating college or high school, it’s a milestone worth celebrating. What could be a better way to honor this time in your special senior’s life than to capture the memories through photographs?! If you want to know where to take graduation portraits, here are some wonderful sessions that I had the pleasure of doing. 

Graduation Portraits at a NJ Park

The first two sessions were taken at a local park in NJ. These beautiful ladies opted for more casual photo shoots – not many photos with their caps & gowns. They wore a couple cute outfits–I encourage you to bring multiple outfits! There is also something special about being at your local park and having these photos to remember yourself as you are in this moment, at this point in time in your life. I love the type of sessions like this where you can just be yourself and take in everything around you. 

Campus Portraits

Another senior had the wonderful idea to take photos at his college campus with his friends. This Marist graduate took photographs in all the iconic spots the campus had to offer – from waterfront views to indoors. There were so many great spots that captured some of his favorite memories of his college years. In addition, he also did some head shots and formal cap & gown photos at a local park and in my studio! You can’t go wrong with either type of photos. It doesn’t matter where to take graduation portraits. It’s the memories captured for you that are most important!

If you have a senior graduating this year or next, look no further for the perfect graduation gift opportunity! If you are a graduate yourself and wondering where to take graduation portraits, reach out and we’ll set something up! I am ready when you are to capture this special milestone for you 🙂
