“Sydney is so awesome to work with!! She took my college graduation photos and I couldn't have asked for a better person. She's so kind and patient.

When should I book my grad session?

Graduation season books up quickly, especially in the spring. I recommend reaching out and securing your date as soon as you can. Spring Graduation is the busiest time of year, and those dates fill the fastest. Booking early ensures you get the timeframe that works best for your schedule.

What should I wear to my grad session?

I always recommend bringing at least one classic and sophisticated outfit. This gives your gallery a timeless feel. From there, you can add a spirited look that represents your school pride, academic achievements, athletics, or organizations you've been a part of. Cap and gown photos are always encouraged, and I'm happy to help guide outfit choices so everything feels cohesive.

Can I include my partner, family, or pets?

Yes, of course! Graduation is a milestone worth celebrating with the people who supported you along the way I love incorporating a few photos with partners, family members, or even your pup. Just let me know ahead of time so we can plan accordingly.

Do you offer group graduation sessions?

Yes. I offer group sessions for sororities sports teams, clubs, or best friends graduating together. The more people included, the more you can save when the session cost is split. Group sessions are fun, energetic, and a great way to celebrate together.

How many photos will I receive?

The exact number of images varies , but each graduation session includes a guaranteed minimum. The more time we have together, the more moments I'm able to capture. I tend to over-deliver, so narrowing down your favorites is usually the hardest part.
