15 Senior Picture Poses We Should "Leave To The Ladies"
Lucas Kelderman

Fall is the best time of year for senior pictures, in my opinion. All the photo ops around us; but guys, let's try and leave some of these poses for us ladies. No harsh feelings, just know that we pull them off better.

Ahhh. The half face close up. Classic. (sorry, but you're not as shady as you think you are)


Unless you're a "casually sittin' on a park bench" sort of guy, let's avoid this pose.


Something about this pose just doesn't work. Maybe its the arm, or the lack of hair. Who knows?


These actually, maybe sorta work. Maybe. It's probably the hair. Give them a go if you're a brave soul.


Okay. Either the jeans are too tight or the legs don't naturally bend like that, but nothing about this looks comfortable. Move on.


Again with the park bench. Avoid at all costs. (And the crossed ankles? Please.)


Typically a glamour shot, with the long hair flowing and a little breeze. But hey, no hair. No glamour.


Boys, let's agree to leave the tree leaning to a minimum. (no matter how cute and cheesy your smile is)


Who isn't a sucker for cute fall senior pics? Right? Wrong. Let's try and keep the leaves on the ground boys.


That's it. Park benches are no longer allowed. Cut. Zip. Done.


When a girl poses like this we think "oh, cute and playful." With a guy we move on to a little creepy.


DOES NO ONE LISTEN


Do you have a headache? Are you confused? We don't know. Without the hair between your fingers and a shy smile, this pose does not work.


A classic pose. Aaaalmost works. This one is a toss up.


If you feel uncomfortable while taking the picture, we probably feel uncomfortable when looking at it.


(Huge thanks to my more than willing models, and outstanding photographer.)

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
