Capturing Your Unique Style in Senior Sessions
Graduation is more than a milestone — it’s a celebration of your unique journey, personality, and all the moments that brought you here.
At Robbie Randall Photography, I believe every cap and gown session should reflect who you are, not just the date on your diploma. Whether you’re a high school senior in Asheville, a college graduate in Western North Carolina (WNC), or earning an advanced degree, your graduation photos should capture more than just your achievement — they should tell your story in a way that feels authentic and personal.
Outfits, Locations & Personal Style — Your Session, Your Way
Personalizing your senior cap and gown session starts with the basics — your outfit, accessories, and location. While your cap and gown are the stars, the clothes you wear underneath can show off your personality. Bold colors, playful textures, or even a nod to your future career can add layers of meaning to your images. Choosing the right Asheville location — whether it’s the scenic beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, your school’s campus, or one of WNC’s vibrant urban spots — ensures your photos reflect both your personality and your sense of place, tying your story to the beautiful region you call home.

Adding Meaning Through Sentimental Details
One of my favorite recent sessions was with Samantha, who brought along some deeply personal touches. Though her mom couldn’t attend the shoot, Samantha carried her presence with her — she brought a special necklace from her mom and a sentimental family pillow to incorporate into her photos. These meaningful heirlooms, paired with her cap and gown, helped tell her unique story of love, support, and family pride. Capturing those personal details elevated her gallery into something truly timeless and special.
Personal Touches & Fun Ideas to Make Your Session Unforgettable
Adding props and accessories is an easy way to make your senior photoshoot truly your own. Whether it’s including your graduation cap decorated with a favorite quote, your sports gear, musical instrument, or even your beloved pet, these touches help highlight the full picture of who you are at this pivotal moment. And, of course, no Asheville cap and gown session would be complete without my signature glitter gif — a fun, playful way to capture the excitement of graduation and the joy of stepping into your next adventure.
Let’s Create Your Perfect Senior Session Together
At the heart of every senior photo session is collaboration. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, celebrated, and fully yourself. Whether we’re on a mountaintop in WNC, on a vibrant downtown Asheville street, or in a quiet field at sunset, your session is about capturing your spirit, your story, and all the moments that led to this day. Let’s make your senior cap and gown session a memory you’ll treasure for years to come — personal, beautiful, and unmistakably you.
