Something good happened.
Maybe the bad guys are defeated or sent packing. The city is saved. The main characters and their friends are perhaps celebrating something important like the end of school or an important life event of a family member or friend.
Regardless of what happened, the characters group up for a photoshoot to commemorate the event in later years.
Sometimes, the characters do a Victory Pose in the photo. This can also include doing a V-Sign, Bicep-Polishing Gesture, Stab the Sky or even a Happy Dance.
This is sometimes used to symbolize the end of a series/movie, including a character/story arc or even a TV season. In some cases, it’ll be used to start a Flashback sequence. Sometimes, it's used to give a character or characters some expositions in case of a sequel (or another season).
Overlaps with Group Picture Ending. The resulting picture can later become a Former Friends Photo if things go very bad for the cast.
The trope is used for in-universe events and not for behind the scene events such as the cast/crew posing for a photo to celebrate the end of production, etc.

The Simpsons: In "No Loan Again, Naturally", the Simpsons' house is put up for auction and Ned Flanders buys it back. To celebrate, the Simpsons and Flanders families take a picture together in the newly-recovered house, as the Simpsons sing a song praising Ned. Towards the end, when the Simpsons abuse Ned's kindness, they are kicked out and made to live in a homeless shelter. As Ned is about to sell the house off to some perfect tenants, he sees the photo again and feels guilty (complete with the Simpsons in the photo singing the song again), and finally gives it back to its rightful owners.

In chapter 30 (animated in episode 9) of Asteroid in Love, the Earth Sciences Club takes a picture outside of their clubroom, on Mikage and Mari's last day of school. This is a case of it not being a Group Picture Ending, as the chapter ends with a conversation between Mikage and Mari after that.

The surviving cast of the original Mass Effect trilogy takes a commemorative group picture after getting together for one last party in the Mass Effect 3 DLC "Citadel". As this is also the final story beat of the DLC (though not of the entire game), it partially overlaps with a Group Picture Ending.

The Brittas Empire:
After a dramatic climax where Brittas saves several people from the burning ruins of the leisure centre (leading to him getting a George Medal and his job back) in "High Noon", the episode ends with the cast getting a photo taken of themselves sometime later in front of said centre.
In "Shall We Dance?", Laura gives Brittas some photographs from the time he spent building an arbor for her, with the intention that he keeps these photos as a memento of the hard work he did.

After the events of the Black Island arc in Tintin, some photographers took photos of Scottish Police escorting the apprehended counterfeit ring members in Kiltoch. One photographer took a photo of Tintin posing with Ranko, the gorilla used by the gang to scare any bystander from venturing to the Black Island. The others were too scared to do so and fled when the gorilla showed up.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable has a scene where Jotaro reminisces on his past adventures while looking at a photo of himself and the rest of the Stardust Crusaders team, taken shortly after they arrived in Egypt for their final battle. The anime adaptation of Stardust Crusaders adds a scene of this picture being taken, and expands the ending to include a shot of Jotaro looking at the picture in remembrance of the friends lost during the adventure.

In First Blood, after the town posse "kills" fugitive John Rambo in the woods with a rocket launcher (in the nick of time, he escaped into a cave below), they take a few victory pictures of themselves in front of the wreckage of Rambo's makeshift shelter. Of course, the town would be in for an unpleasant surprise later. Rambo has his own similar group photo of he and his company from Vietnam; the story opens with him learning he's the last one from the picture still alive.

Penny from Bolt routinely takes a photo of herself and Bolt after filming an episode of the Show Within a Show, declaring the Polaroid that emerges: "That's a keeper!" The wall of her trailer is plastered with these photos. The last time Penny is seen doing this is after she and her mother have retired from show business and moved to the countryside. On the couch, she snaps one of herself, Bolt, Mittens and Rhino, as a Group Picture Ending as well as a memento.

Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number: During the Hawaiian conflict, Evan Wright takes a photo of Beard and Jacket, which Beard later gives to Jacket to keep as a memento after rescuing him from a power plant explosion at the end of the war, so Jacket could remember "who saved his life". A year later, Beard calls Jacket to tell him to make a copy of the photo for him, shortly before a nuke drops in San Francisco, where Beard was at the time. This photo was the object that Jacket threw into the wind at the end of his storyline in the first game, presumably when he believed that he managed to repay the favor to Beard and thus completed his Redemption Quest.
