Fun And Candid Group High School Graduation Portraits In San Jose at Bernal-Gulnac-Joice Ranch

Graduating High School and heading off to college is a great accomplishment. And this milestone should be celebrated with pictures 🙂 Every high school senior will take your classic yearbook style picture – but those are no fun! I recommend not only taking individual senior portraits but also considering taking group graduation portraits. Here are some recent fun and candid group high school graduation portraits in San Jose taken at Bernal-Gulnac-Joice Ranch. As well as the top 3 reasons why you should consider taking them.

You Can Coordinate Your Outfits For The Perfect Themed Portraits

Group High School Graduation Portraits In San Jose

One of the best reasons why group high school graduation portraits can be a lot of fun is because you can coordinate your outfits. Bernal-Gulnac-Joice Ranch is a really unique and rustic location and planning an outfit around the location worked really well. If everyone has boots, this is the perfect accent that can compliment the rustic look of the venue. I also recommend choosing a specific color palette – like white or blue. Or you can all dress in a certain type of clothing like jeans, a dress, or skirts. For most of my portraits, I like to incorporate movement and various poses where you are sitting, kneeling, etc. So making sure you choose an outfit that is comfortable is also key.

Group Graduation Portraits Are A Lot More Fun Than Individual Portraits

Another reason why you should consider group high school graduation portraits is because they are a lot more fun! During a normal senior portrait session, I like to keep the session candid and fun – but there is definitely more energy when your closest friends are there. For these group high school graduation portraits in San Jose, I focused on keeping the session conversational and candid. For example, one of the poses I had each person fast forward 20 years and predict their friends profession, where they would be living, the type of car they would be driving, etc. This got some candid and natural smiles out of the entire group 🙂

They Are A Great Way To Commemorate Friendships Before Heading Off To College

Last but not least, group portraits are a great way to commemorate friendships before heading off to college. In some cases, you will be heading off to various parts of the country. And you will go from seeing each other every day to seeing each other when you are home from college. No doubt, you will look back at the time you spent in high school as some of the most memorable years of your life. And celebrating this with your close friends is something you will always cherish!

Hopefully this brief article has given you some ideas for your very own group high school graduation portraits. Thanks!
