What to expect
To secure your grad session, a $50 non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking. This deposit goes toward your final balance. The remaining $300 is due in cash on the day of your session. Once your deposit is received, your date is officially reserved.
About one month before your session, you’ll receive a short questionnaire to help me get to know your vision. This includes preferred locations, outfit vibes, and the overall look you’re hoping for. About one week before your session, I’ll send out a list of suggested locations so we can finalize the perfect spot.
On the day of your session, we’ll meet at the chosen location and start shooting approximately two hours before sunset to get the best lighting. In the spring and summer, this usually means a 7:30 PM start time. Sessions normally run for an hour and a half but can vary based on locations. Please note that session times may shift slightly due to weather or lighting conditions — flexibility is key to getting the best results!
Your fully edited gallery will be delivered within three weeks of your session date. You’ll receive a private online gallery where you can view, download, and share your images with friends and family.
Tips for your Session
Your grad photos should tell your story. Bring something personal that reflects who you are — sports gear, musical instruments, books, cowboy boots, a camera, dance shoes, anything that ties into your life. These little touches make your photos feel meaningful and uniquely yours.
Some evenings can reach over +30°C, and staying hydrated keeps you looking fresh and feeling your best the entire session. A small water bottle or even an electrolyte drink can make a huge difference, especially if we’re shooting at multiple locations.
We do a lot of walking during grad sessions to find the best light and most beautiful spots. Wearing heels the whole time can get uncomfortable fast, so bring flip-flops or comfy shoes to slip into between photos. Your feet will thank you — and you’ll look much more relaxed in your shots.
I cant wait to work with you!
Grad sessions will begin the second Monday of May. Once you’re ready to book, fill out the inquiry form to secure your date! I currently book sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays, but feel free to request a different date if you have family visiting from out of town or a limited window for photos.
