If you are a senior photographer who really struggles with posing your clients in a cap and gown because they’re not the MOST flattering thing, then you’re going to love this video! I’ve been a senior photographer now for over a decade and this is one of the pain points that a lot of us have experienced. Yes, they are adorable, but it is VERY easy to take a bad cap & gown photo. So today I’m going to show you how to photograph your senior quickly in their cap & gown, how to to get a ton of variety, and how to pose them in a way that is super flattering, in spite of the trash bag-like look those gowns can have!

Before we jump in, I wanted to invite you to take advantage of a free gift I have for you. I am giving away a full, uncut senior session (one of my favorites of all time!) that is part of my monthly membership for senior photographers called The Senior Scoop. If you are a visual learner and like videos like this one where I take you behind the scenes on a real shoot, you’re going to love tuning in.
