graduation portraits

Cap-and-gown pictures

Graduation portraits are formal photographs taken to commemorate completing a degree or educational program.

They typically feature the graduate in cap and gown, often against a neutral backdrop, and appear in yearbooks, announcements, and family displays.

Schools frequently arrange sessions with contracted photographers, though some graduates hire their own: She scheduled her graduation portraits for next week.
