Our SRP photographers love our springtime Lil’ Graduate sessions! This is a fun session for those preK children who are excited to head to “big school” in the Fall. Whether you have a child leaving preschool, elementary, middle, high school or college, we wanted to share 5 easy poses you can replicate to capture this milestone event.

1. Include Props

Enhance your child’s grad photos with a scroll with matching gown color ribbon. Sunglasses, chalkboard with handwritten name, or a favorite book, all make nice props.

2. Show current age

Have your child hold up the number of fingers of their current age.

3. Record Graduation Year

Children can hold number cutouts of their graduation year, or write the year on a chalkboard.

4. Record future profession

Write on a chalkboard what your child wants to be when they grow up. It is fun to pull in props to go with that idea.

5. Jump

Capture your child jumping with graduation gown on. Let the cap and tassel fly!

 

Decorate with Graduation Photos

If you are hosting a gathering to celebrate your little or big graduate, use this simple table decoration. Fill mason jars with fresh flowers, and place a wooden dowel with a clothes pin hot glued, to clip 4×6 graduation portraits.
