Graduation is one of those rare moments in life that feels both like an ending and a beginning. That’s why we love offering graduation sessions as a complimentary benefit for seniors who book their senior portraits with us. It is our way of helping you wrap up senior year with style and get excited for what’s coming next.
Cap and gown portraits are a classic and iconic way to celebrate your journey in your graduation photos.
Our Gift to You
When you book a senior portrait experience or senior portrait essentials session with My Friend Teresa Studios, you’ll automatically be invited to join one of our graduation portrait sessions in the spring. These short sessions are the perfect chance to capture a few final senior portraits in your cap and gown, show off your future college gear, or even get a professional headshot for your internship resume or LinkedIn profile. It is quick, fun, and at no cost to you, your graduation photo session is our way of saying ‘thank you’ for letting us be part of your senior year.
Graduation photos are the perfect opportunity to show off where you’ll be heading for college. Wherever your next step is, we are here to capture it.
What to Wear for Your Graduation Photos
Many of our clients need a little help with what to wear for graduation photos, so we have broken down the most popular and flattering looks. Here’s what we recommend (and what most of our seniors love):
Cap and Gown: Whether you wear it over your outfit or toss it over your shoulder, classic cap and gown photos are a must-have for every graduate. The senior advisor at your school should have caps and gowns for you to borrow or access ahead of graduation, so that your portraits are ready in time for graduation parties.
College Gear: If you know which college you’re headed to, make sure to grab some swag with the school colors, logo or emblem on it – think t-shirts, a hoodie, a pennant flag or even a foam finger. These will all do double-duty as they can be used during your time at school or for decorating your dorm. Your high school graduation photos are a great way to show where you are headed next and look great on display at your graduation party or as a social media announcement.
Professional Look: Many of our seniors use this opportunity to get a their first headshot that they can use for internships or future job applications. For this, you’ll want to avoid patterns, in favor of neutral clothes that feel professional. Our guide on what to wear for your headshots has everything you need to know.
White Dresses: For a feminine look, the timeless white dress continues to be a favorite choice, especially under a graduation gown. It is crisp, classic, and full of meaning. We love seeing how excited our seniors get as they realize just how close they are to that next chapter.
If you’ve never had a headshot taken, we can help! You can incorporate professional headshots or a simple personal branding portrait as part of your graduation photos so that you’re all set for college internships.

Graduation photos give you one last chance to celebrate everything your senior has accomplished and everything they’re looking forward to. These senior pictures are perfect for announcements, graduation party photos or on your invitations, or simply in a frame on the mantel. As part of your senior portrait experience, we’ll handle all the logistics so that you and your senior just have to show up on the day.
A white dress is a timeless look for graduation photos. It looks perfect with a cap and gown, or on its own as a neutral-yet-beautiful outfit.
