Most grads are over 21 by the time they graduate, and nothing says celebration more than champagne! So, shake up a bottle and tell the photographer to use continuous frames, because these shots are dramatic and altogether fun!

Troy, Gabriella, and Sharpay had it right! Despite beginning in 2001, the classic jumping pose hasn’t aged one bit! Finishing your undergraduate career is a Fabulous reason to jump for joy, and post-grad life is the Start of Something New! Bonus: This pose works great for both singles and the whole squad!

Let’s be honest, we spend countless hours decorating our grad caps– so, show it off! If you plan on having the photo be of the back of your head, be sure to style your hair so it’s as polished as your grad cap!

In three to four years of college and the oh-so-painful 8 AMs, we’ve been guilty of chugging a Yerba at the lib and sneaking a snooze during lecture. These poses are cute, funny, and brutally honest about our college experiences!
There you have it Class of 2018! You’ve come so far, so flash your best smile and flaunt those grad photos– you deserve it.
