College Shirt + Cap and Gown Grad Portraits

Let's talk about college shirts and cap + gown pictures in North Carolina

Celebrating 2026 Grads!

It is time to turn a tassel for all you have accomplished with a college shirt + cap and gown senior picture session.

Cap and gown + college shirt sessions are the newest trend in senior pictures. Cue the confetti because it is time to celebrate your senior year milestone in style.

In addition to being fun, cap and gown sessions add variety and personality to your senior pictures!

We’re celebrating the Class of 2026 high school graduates with college shirt + cap and gown session photos this spring in Greensboro, High Point and Winston Salem! Let’s capture you celebrating in both your cap and gown + a shirt that announces your future plans after high school. Congrats grads!

1. Schedule early

Allow plenty of time to enjoy a stress free process. Session times are limited so give yourself plenty of time to get on the schedule and prepare for your shoot. The best time is April-May for college tee and cap and gown sessions. This gives you time to select your favorites for announcements and invitations.

2. What to wear

A black and white dress or suit is the timeless choice, or you may want to wear your school colors. It’s important that your outfit doesn’t clash with your UNC Chapel Hill or Wake Forest University robe. Also bring along your favorite pair of jeans and a college shirt. This casual outfit adds an element of fun and surprise to your session! Be sure to bring dress shoes and casual shoes, plus any jewelry or accessories.

3. The little details

Pay attention to your hair, nails, makeup, shave, etc – because you will notice the details in the photos.

4. Celebrations with your bestie!

If you are thinking celebrating together is even more fun, cheers to friends at cap and gown sessions!

Relax and enjoy. This is a celebration of all you have accomplished this far. Plus, if you are having a good time your pictures will look all the better!

This is the final chapter of your high school journey and I wholeheartedly believe that this milestone is worth celebrating. It’s a privilege for work with you to capture your journey. I am excited to see where you go from here and cheer you on!
