10 Things to Bring to Your Senior Pictures
Besides your outfits and accessories, you may be wondering what else you can bring along to your senior pictures. To make your session more unique, you’ll want to bring along objects that represent you, what you like, your hobbies, or maybe even things you’ve made. Sometimes it’s hard to think about what you could bring to your session. That’s why I’ve created this list of 10 things you can bring along to your senior pictures. This isn’t an extensive list, but hopefully it will give you some ideas.
#1: Pets
We all love our pets, so why not include them in your senior pictures. They’re part of the family and mean so much to you. Whether they’re wild and crazy, or laid back and relaxed, you’ll want to remember their personality just as much as yours, along with remembering the pet you loved dearly in high school.
#2: Sports Equipment
If you’re involved in some sort of sport, then you’ll most likely want to include this in your session. From footballs, to bowling balls and tennis rackets to rollerblades, whatever sport or activity you’re involved in this is the perfect addition to your senior pictures.
#3: Artwork
This is the perfect way to represent yourself and show off your favorite art pieces you’ve created yourself. If you’re an artist, why wouldn’t you want to show off your artwork during your senior session? You could even bring along paintbrushes, an easel, paint tubes, pencils, or anything else that you use to create whatever artwork you like to make.
#4: Chairs
You may have a fun or unique chair sitting around your house that would be great to include in your session. Chairs are perfect for changing up poses or having seating arrangements in different locations like in tall grasses.
#5: Instruments
For the music lovers or band students, your instrument makes the perfect prop to include in your session. You’ll be able to show off your love for music or even look back some day and remember what guitar you used to play when you were in high school.
#6: Signs
Maybe you have some signs from whatever sports or activities you’re involved in, or maybe you have a chalkboard you can write your graduation year on. Whatever signs you have that are all about you, bring those along to your session too.
#7: Awards
You’ve worked hard to earn any and all awards you have, so you’ll want to show off your achievements during your senior pictures. Whether it was for a book you wrote, for being an outstanding student, or for winning a competition you’ll want to be sure to include these in your portraits.
#8: Cars
Whether it’s a sporty car or just your first car, your car is your car. And if you love it or just want to remember what the first car you drove was, then bring it along to your session. Cars are a fun addition to any senior session.
#9: Hobbies
Whatever your hobbies are, you can easily find something to bring along from them. If you like skateboarding, bring along your skateboard. Maybe you like photography, a camera or even printed photos work perfect. For book lovers, bring all your favorite books. Even if you’re a gamer you can bring along your controller. Or maybe you have a collection that you’d love to surround yourself in. If it means something to you, then it will make the perfect addition to your senior pictures.
#10: Fun Objects
Any type of object can be included into your session. If there’s something you see that you think would be a fun addition to your session, bring it along. It never hurts to bring something and not use it, vs. wishing you would have brought something. Fun objects can include glitter, frames, your initial, American Flags, smoke bombs, old suitcases, or even sparklers. The list is endless.
