FAQ's

Background confetti branding graphic

A full session is 90 minutes. A mini session is 30 minutes.

How long Is the session?

2 easy and quick steps. Book through my website calendar at the bottom of this page or send me a message on the contact page. The session is not officially booked until you sign your contract online & pay your retainer.

The balance is due before your session begins.


How do I book you?

Nope! I don't charge extra for that as long as you are just zipping the gown over your outfit.

If you don't have your graduation attire in time for your session, I recommend asking to borrow one from someone who has already graduated!

Do cap and gowns count as an outfit?

There are so many incredible colleges in Middle Tennessee! I've been to a ton of them, but it's not uncommon for there to be someplace new—even on familiar campuses, there are buildings I haven't been to. Don't stress! I do research online beforehand and arrive early to take a peek.

have you been to my campus?

Your will receive a proofing gallery within 3-5 days of your session.

Choose your favorite photos and notify me. I send them to my editor, who will return them within 1 week.

If you need a faster turnaround, you can expedite editing with a $50 rush fee upon request.

When do i receive the images?

You betcha! Most seniors do! Narrowing down favorites can be challenging. If you go over the allotted number in your package, it's okay!

Extra photos cost less than lunch. So, if you want to add 1, 2, or 30 more - You can totally do that! I'll explain how to when you receive your proofing gallery.

Can I get extra poses?

Absolutely! I recommend bringing your cords, stoles, and all the other swag! Medical degree? Pack your Stethoscope! Aeronautics diploma? We can go to the airfield! In a sorority or fraternity? Rock your letters! Involved in a sport or a part of the band? Bring your basketball & clarinet!

Got something unusual you're considering? Just ask me!

Can I bring props?
