I remember looking so hard for cute graduation picture poses before I took my grad pictures. There are so many cute ideas out there for poses, but sometimes it can be hard to figure out how to recreate them!

Here are some of the absolute best graduation poses to try, and how you can recreate them yourself!

This post is all about the best graduation picture poses to try.

The Cutest Graduation Picture Poses

1. Sit On The Steps

Sitting on the steps makes for some really good grad pics. To recreate this pose, you’ll lean back on the arm closest to the camera. Then you’ll hold your your graduation cap on the leg closest to the camera with your opposite arm.

Also, I love how she’s laughing in the picture! It looks so cute.

2. Lean On Some Railing And Pop Your Foot

I am obsessed with this pose! It looks so cute and girly. If you want to copy it, you’ll need to lean against some railing and grab the rail, holding the arm farthest from the camera out a little wider. Then you’ll pop your foot on the leg farthest from the camera.

3. The Cap Throw

This is a staple graduation picture that everyone needs to do. I love how she positioned her body in this one!

To recreate it, you’ll cross one leg in front of the other. The one opposite of the arm you’re going to throw your cap with needs to be in front. Making sure you keep your other arm down and tucked into your side, toss your cap straight up and look at it while you toss it!

4. Grab Your Other Arm

This is a super easy pose to recreate for your grad pictures! All you need to do is lean on something, and then grab one arm with the other like you’re making the number 4.

5. Walking Up The Steps With A Bottle

This is another picture that wouldn’t be too complicated to recreate! You’d hold your gown over your shoulder with one hand, and with the other you’d hold up the champagne (or whatever bottle you’re holding).

6. Hold Your Gown Over Your Shoulder

A pose like this is so simple but so cute. You’ll just cross one leg in front of the other, hold your gown over your shoulder with one hand, and hold your cap with your other hand.

7. Laying Down With The Sun In Your Eyes Pose

If you want to do a really unique pose, this one would be super cute and unique! You could do this with or without the flowers, but I think the flowers add a really pretty touch.

8. Looking Sideways Over Your Shoulder

Pictures like this with flowers in the background always turn out so pretty. I did some like this for my grad pics and I loved them.

9. Sit On The Steps And Cross Your Arms

This is another really cute pose for taking pictures sitting on the steps! You just need to sit down, put your feet a couple steps down, and then lean forward with your elbows resting on your knees. Then, just softly cross your arms. Be careful with your hands if you’re doing this pose! Make sure you leave your fingers loose and relaxed.

10. Baddie Pose

This picture looks more like an action shot on the way to graduation than anything, but I absolutely love it. It would be so cute to recreate for grad pics!

11. Champagne Pop Pose

This is another classic pose for graduation pictures. If you have a fountain at your school, it would be so cute to recreate this whole picture. You could do the pose without the fountain, though.

12. Lean Back On The Wall

If you want to recreate this pose, you’ll just lean against a wall and prop up the foot that’s farthest from the camera.

13. Lean Back On Some Railing

This is another really cute picture using stair railing! For this one, you’ll just lean back against some railing, grab it with your hands, look over your shoulder, and smile for the picture!

14. Throw Your Cap At The Camera

A pose like this is another perfect one if you’re wanting to do some throwing your cap! I’ve seen some like this that turned out SO cute.

15. Pose With Your Dog

This is one of my graduation pictures! It was super important to get some pictures with my dog for graduation. If you have a dog you want to take pictures with, this is a super cute idea!

This is the graduation cap and bandana I got for my dog to wear. It wasn’t the highest quality ever, but it got the job done.

16. Hold Your Cap Up And Look Over Your Shoulder

A pose like this would be so cute and celebratory! To copy it, you’ll hold up your cap with the arm farthest from the camera. Then, you’ll pop the foot closest to the camera.

17. Touch Your Cap With Both Hands

This is such a cute candid looking pose. If you want to recreate it, you’ll grab your cap with both hands and look down at your feet!

18. Pose With A Bouquet

Pictures with a bouquet of flowers are so cute for graduation. This picture is so beautiful! To recreate this, you’ll cross your legs and hold the bouquet in your lap. Then, lean forward a little and laugh!

19. Walk Towards The Camera

Walking pictures like this are one of the cutest graduation picture poses to do. If you’re wanting to do a picture like this, when you’re walking towards the camera, cross one foot in front of the other a little more than you would when you’re normally walking!

20. Jumping Picture

This is another adorable celebratory pose for graduation pictures. A picture like this will really help capture your excitement to graduate!
