senior portrait

Final yearbook image

A senior portrait is a formal photograph taken of a high school or college student in their final year, typically used in yearbooks and graduation announcements.

These portraits often feature professional lighting and poses, sometimes with props or settings that reflect the student's interests or achievements: She scheduled her senior portrait session for September.

The tradition is especially prominent in American high schools.
