[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not necessary, but I have lots of friends who have professional "graduation" photographs taken of their Senior.  It's a thing that predates social media. [/quote]

Interesting. That has always been a thing, I thought. Maybe it's a regional thing? [/quote]
I think it is a regional thing. In my very middle class Wisconsin hometown, pretty much everyone gets "senior pictures" done (usually in the summer before senior year). 1-3 hour session in a few different locations with 1-3 outfits. [/quote]

Senior pictures are normal here in the dc area too. 
I think OP is mostly taken aback by the bikini and club dress shots, and by the reveal/bed decoration parties…all of which leads me to believe that OP’s kid has chosen a school with a large percentage of kids from the northeast, and this kid is going to be in for a shock. Those girls have been partying in leather and lace since middle school, and they will run the social scene. [/quote]

PP here. Yep, the senior pictures I got back in the day weren’t particularly flashy, just professional outdoor pics wearing a nice sweater or shirt, one shot in the college t-shirt, boots, hair straightened, etc. My parents ordered prints of them and hung them up.

However, I was taken aback recently at how expensive “swag” is in university bookstores. $50 hoodie, $25 tee shirt…that adds up if it’s just for a pic.
