What can I bring to my senior photos?

What to Bring

The possibilities for what you can bring are truly endless. While, yes, you should be the main focus of your senior portraits, it can be really special to include props that help signify the person you are. Plus, nothing can outshine the beauty you have to offer, props can only enhance it!

Cheer loud, stand proud!

Maybe you want to bring a basketball to represent the 10 years you’ve spent playing. Or maybe, you want to bring the furry friend that has kept you company throughout high school. If it’s something you are proud of, it’s welcome at your senior portrait shoot!

What NOT to Bring

Sarah’s only request for props is that they don’t negatively impact the environment. Items such as glitter, smoke bombs, and fireworks can be a fire hazard and also harmful for the environment if they aren’t cleaned up properly. As long as you aren’t planning on bringing any of these items, your options for props are limitless!

Whipping in style

Props could be something as small as bringing your letterman jacket to throw over your shoulder in photos, or it could be as big as the dream car you got when you turned 16. If it helps show who you are, bring it!

Inspiration

If you need more inspiration for items that you can bring, here are a few that may resonate with you. However, if you don’t see the item that you had in mind listed, don’t freak out! It’s most likely going to be more than welcome at your portraits.

Taekwondo legend!

You could bring something that resembles the sport you played throughout your life: it could be the uniform, cleats, ballet shoes, trophies or medals, or even a sports ball.

​If you favor arts over sports, maybe you can bring your instrument or the music sheets to your favorite performance. You could also consider bringing your favorite book if you are a big reader!

Another idea is to bring an accessory that helps define who you are. If you have a killer shoe collection, think about bringing a few of your favorite pairs to show off. You could also take the accessories a different direction and wear a cowboy hat to resemble your southern roots!

Fresh kicks!

To Wrap Up

The moral of the story is, if it’s something that is significant to you, it should be at your shoot. We want to create personalized portraits that capture the most genuine version of you, so if you want to include a few props to make that happen, we are here for it!
