It’s time for your college announcement photos!

Okay, so you’ve gotten into your dream school… now what? It’s college announcement time! This is a huge step as a senior and documenting this moment can be so incredibly special.

If you are looking to have unforgettable college announcement photos, then here are six prop ideas that you can use!

  1. Flags & signs are a great way to really make a statement. You can use larger rectangular flags, small triangular pennant flags, or the handheld signs your college of choice sends you in the mail.

  2. T-shirts displaying your future university in big, bold letters is both exciting and effortless. Not to mention, you’ll get a great use out of this closet staple.

  3. Sweatshirts are a cozy way to rep your college pick, and especially preferable if your session will take place in colder temperatures.

  4. Balloons are one of the most playful options, but beware — even slightly windy conditions can make taking photos with balloons a challenge.

  5. Hats are popular with guys and girls alike. You can’t go wrong!

  6. Confetti creates natural smiles and fun pops of color, but be sure to purchase the biodegradable (paper, not plastic) kind. Plus, clean up after yourself the best you can before heading to your next location.

No matter which props you choose to use, just know that this moment is all about celebrating you and your accomplishments! Pick one or two from the list above and don’t sweat the rest. There is no right or wrong choice!

Not heading away to college after high school?

You’re not alone! You can (and should!) celebrate your exciting next chapter with props relating to your next step. For example, those pursuing a trade, joining the military or taking a gap year to travel can bring their car, uniform, or passport for their future-paced portraits.
