Triad graduation Photographer

The Grad Experience

Every graduate’s journey is one-of-a-kind — from late-night study sessions and campus traditions to the places that became your second home.

That’s why your graduation photo session is all about celebrating YOU.

We’ll capture the spots on campus that matter most, highlight the friendships and memories you’ve made, and create photos that feel like your story: proud, personal, and unforgettable.


Your Story. Your Campus. Your Graduation Photos.

From your favorite campus spots to your proudest moment, let’s capture the journey that got you here.

Step 1: Let's Chat

Let me know you're interested! Within 24 hours, I'll reach out for a quick, low-key chat to make sure all your questions are answered. If we're a good fit, I'll send over a booking proposal. Can't wait to hear from you!

Step 2: Book it

Ready to book? Just review the booking proposal, sign the contract, & submit the booking fee to reserve your spot on my calendar. My schedule can fill up months in advance so don't wait!

Step 3: Planning

Together, we’ll plan out the location and logistics. I'll send a client questionnaire to get to know you better. Need help with outfits? Use my styling guide or client closet. Thinking about wall art? Use my product guide to decide.

Step 4: Your Session

At your session, I do the heavy lifting. Your job? Have fun and do what you do best: love on your family!  With prompts & poses, I'll direct you into authentic moments of love and connection. Together, we'll make beautiful family photos!

Step 5: Reveal

A week later, we'll meet up to view your photos, select your favorites, and choose a collection & heirloom photo products. Download your digital images another week later! Albums, wall art, & canvases are delivered in 4-6 weeks.
