- The Casual Hand Hold.
This posing tip for your senior photos is as simple as it sounds! Sit or stand and casually hold the flower bouquet next to you from the stems or cross your lap/leg. This image from Tomball Memorial High School Senior session is giving a relaxed vibe. You don’t want to hold the flower bouquet like you are holding a newborn baby so holding from the stem and walking toward or away from the camera is the key. - Behind the Back.
Turn your back to the camera standing at a slight 45 degree angle and again hold the flowers from the stems. Turn your shoulders and chest to the right and rest your wrist on your head. See image below with example of what to do with your other hand. However, you could also put the other hand in your back pocket. - Break up the bouquet.
Break up your bouquet and use certain bloom in your back pockets, stuffed in your boots or in your braids. Pro Posing Tip: use flowers in your college school colors, pair with cut offs and a college t shirt for your grad announcement. - Mimic the bouquet colors.
Consider replicating the bouquet colors in your outfit or location backdrop to add some uniformity to your photos. - Frame your face.
Hold the flowers close to your face for a tight close up with a pop of color. You can peek over the bouquet or even cover one side of your face with the blooms while wearing your graduation cap and 2025 tassel. - BONUS TIP:
Whole Foods Market has the cuties mini bouquets in their flower market daily for anyone in a pinch. But HEB makes the best and most cost effective graduation bouquets you simply need to give them 2-3 days notice.
