Class of 2026 & 2027…

You spent years working toward this. The late nights, the hard semesters, the moments you almost quit – all of it led here. Your graduation photos should feel as big as what you just accomplished. That’s exactly what I’m here to create with you.

Sessions available across the Phoenix metro area, including on-location shoots at ASU, NAU, GCU and U of A campuses. These senior sessions are also great for High School Seniors looking to get the best possible photos. All of my sessions are inclusive, relaxed, and guided from start to finish – no posing experience needed.

What to Bring / How to Prepare

Tips for a Great Graduation Session

What to Wear

Your cap and gown (obviously) – but also bring 1–2 other outfits if time allows
Solid colors photograph better than busy patterns
Light-colored tops contrast nicely with darker graduation robes
Steam or iron your stole ahead of time – it usually comes folded with creases
Comfortable shoes for walking between spots (bring heels separately if you want them for photos)

What to Bring

Cap, gown, stole, cords, and any honor regalia
Diploma or diploma holder (even if it’s empty – it photographs the same)
A small bouquet of flowers if you want that classic look
Sunglasses, a favorite book, or props that reflect your major or personality
Water and a small towel if it’s a warm day

Optional Extras

A chalkboard or letter board with a message (thank you note to parents, future plans, inside joke)
Champagne for a celebratory pop (I’ll coach you through it if you’ve never done it before)
Your pet – always welcome!

Day-Of Tips

Arrive a few minutes early so we’re not rushed
Eat something beforehand – empty stomachs make for low energy
Get a good night’s sleep the night before
Don’t stress about posing – I’ll guide you through everything

Locations for Grad Sessions

LOCATIONS

Shoot on Campus – Or Somewhere That Feels More Like You

I have go-to spots on ASU, GCU, NAU, and U of A campuses – and when you book, I’ll send you a reminder with a link to your exact meeting spot so there’s no confusion.

But here’s the thing: you don’t have to shoot on campus.

Some grads prefer Papago Park for the desert views. Others like Encanto Park for the greenery and water. A few want something completely different – downtown Phoenix, a rooftop, a coffee shop that meant something to them during school.

Your session. Your call. Pick the spot that feels right.

Prints & Custom Graduation Cards

PRINTS & PRODUCTS

Prints, Cards, and Keepsakes – Delivered to Your Door

Once your gallery is delivered, you can order prints directly from your online gallery. I partner with WHCC (one of the top professional print labs in the country), and everything ships straight to your front door.

You can also design your own custom graduation announcements right inside your gallery – pick your favorite photo, customize the layout, and check out in minutes. It’s a great way to share the news with family and save yourself a trip to the print shop.

Mini sessions are free to book, about 30 minutes, and take place at one of my preset locations. Custom sessions are longer, more flexible, and can happen anywhere. Minis are great for most grads. Customs are great if you have a bigger vision or want more variety.
