If you’re a recent grad, or you’re graduating soon, you’re probably scrolling through tons of graduation photoshoots on Pinterest and noticing the same thing that I did- it’s time to spice things up a little bit! I mean, don’t get me wrong a lot of the graduation pictures we see online are pretty cute! But more often than not, it feels like we’re looking at the same 3 poses over and over again. People! It’s time to make graduation photoshoots unique!
I recently had the privilege of photographing Sophia to celebrate her graduation from Southeast Missouri State University, and we had a blast! We decided to do some traditional graduation photos, and then we ended up switching it up for some super fun shots! One of the best ways to make your graduation photoshoot unique is to make it personal to you. Instead of spraying champagne, we shot a confetti cannon! It was wayyyy less messy and so much more fun!
If you’re looking for some fun accessories for your graduation photoshoot, I’ll let you in on a little secret– I’m always looking for easy, inexpensive ways to add that extra personality to photos, and today I want to share my entire Amazon shopping list for graduation photoshoot accessories! Get your cart ready… set… go!
