Worcester Cap and Gown Sessions: Holy Cross, Worcester State University, Clark, QCC and More

Graduation - whether from high school or college - is the culmination of years of hard work and perseverance. It is a time of deserved celebration and is a great opportunity to stop time for a little while and capture some memories. Cap and Gown Sessions are the perfect way to commemorate this “end of one thing, start of something bigger,” period of your life. Whether you are looking for a quick portrait of you in your regalia, a more laid back session, or a photoshoot with your friends - there is a session for you.

Celebrate your college graduation with friends

I do a lot of solo cap and gown photos for Worcester college grads and high school seniors that are meant for parents as a way for them to commemorate graduation. These sessions are great but by far my most popular cap and gown sessions are my group offerings. These packages include everything you need to make everybody happy. There are solo portaits, yes. Each graduate will get some one-on-one time with me to capture a range of images with and without regalia against a backdrop that has some meaning to you or just looks, well, pretty. After that, the whole bunch of us will work on capturing fun group photos that show who you are to each other with a mix of candid and posed shots. What this looks like is really up to you but you can expect to be throwing your caps up in the air at some point and I can expect to drive home covered in champagne if I am shooting at Holy Cross!

Cap and Gown Sessions usually take place at an outdoor location in the general Worcester area. Backyards, parks, and schools all work! Quinsigamond Community College, Clark University, WPI, Assumption University, and Worcester state all have great spots for cap and gown sessions. The bonus to having your cap and gown session on campus is that you will have a connection to the setting. That is going to matter when you look at these photos in 10 years. Have something unique in mind for your session? Awesome - let me know! All sessions allow for portraits with your cap and gown as well as another outfit. Parents and family members are more than welcome to hop in for a shot or two! Props are welcome in all sessions! If you are interested in adding a post graduation family session to this let me know.
