A big trend I’m loving this year!
Over the last couple of years, I have been seeing more high school seniors who arrive at their session with books to use as a prop. And I am completely in love with the trend! Not only does it look fantastic in photos, but it can be a subtle way to convey something about you.
What I love about books as a senior session prop:
- Books can look amazing in photos – There is a dreamy vibe you can achieve.
- They can be coordinated with your looks by selecting colors and textures that work with your outfit.
- If you get nervous with posing, books give you something to hold, look at, and create a scene with.
- Select books to show what you love to do or read about.
- Bring a book that you love from childhood as you capture the transition from high school to the world beyond.
- Books add a nostalgic, cinematic look to images.
As you plan your senior photoshoot, consider raiding your book shelves for a few books to bring along. Throw a few options in your bag to consider trying out. You won’t regret it!
