Grad Photo Information!
Please reference this page to help you prepare for your grad shoot!
What to Bring:
- Stole(s)
- Cap and gown
- Cords and Tassels
- Sandals or comfy footwear (for those wearing heels)
- Bubbly
- Props
General tips:
- Arrive early! The line for popular areas during peak season can be incredibly long.
- A few coins can help weigh down your stole on a windy day!
- If you wear glasses, I'd recommend popping out the lenses to remove any photo glare
- Check out some grad photo inspiration beforehand and send it over! I'll have reached out the week of for any questions or concerns
- You get one shot for champagne. Some grads like to bring multiple bottles just in case!
FAQs
Can I extend my time mid-shoot?
- Most likely no. I have a strict schedule and most likely have shoots booked before and after yours. I only have a small amount of leeway between each shoot. I'm confident that we'll be able to capture some great shots during your time frame.
Can you edit my photos in a certain way?
- I reserve full creative direction when shooting. This includes all editing post photoshoot. Please review my editing style by looking at my portfolio here beforehand. I will incorporate suggestions and recommendations as best I can if notified pre-shoot.
Can you send me the RAW photos?
- I prefer not to send RAW photos and do not provide them post-shoot. If you'd like the RAW photos, please reference the contract and notify me pre-shoot.
Where do you shoot?
- I shoot in the greater SoCal region, mainly with LA based schools and as far north as UCSB. Please send me a message if you'd be interested in booking outside of this region or during the off season over the summer!
When can I expect my photos by?
- Depending on the timing of your shoot, I will take about 1-2 weeks to edit and deliver your photos. I will send them to you using Dropbox to the email you used to book. Payment must be received before photos are sent.
I have another question! How can I get in contact with you?
- If you are a grad that I have shot, you should have my contact information already. Feel free to send me a text or email. If you are inquiring, feel free to send me a DM on instagram!
