Graduation Session FAQs
I get a lot of questions about what to expect when booking graduation photos with me! This page contains the most asked questions about grad photos, what's included, and what to expect! I wanted to make it easy on you to get the information you need to see if I'm the right photographer for you!
I am now accepting inquiries for Fall sessions! Spots are going to be very limited so reach out early! Let's get this party started!
Most Asked Questions
What Should I Bring?
For College:
Your regalia (cap with tassel, yoke, honor chords, and stoles) is an absolute must, they're graduation photos after all! For those wearing heels or dress shoes, an alternate pair of shoes wouldn't be a bad idea; WSU Pullman is a hilly campus and your feet can start to hurt. I also always recommend bringing something that represents you and your time in school (i.e. instrument, letterman jacket, shako etc.) I want to make sure your photos feel like you!
What should I wear for our session?
This is entirely up to you! It's not uncommon for my clients to wear exactly what they're planning to wear for commencement. You can dress as formal or casual as you would like, but I generally recommend business casual-ish at least.
How long is my session?
Your session will be one and a half to two hours! I like to give us a lot of time to cover all of the locations you would like to include in your photos.
Can I Spray Champagne?
I always love a good celebratory champagne pop! If you would like to pop a bottle, I'm so down. However, if you're not a fan of the bubbly we can also do a spray of Martinelli's. You're more than welcome to provide your own, however if you would like me to purchase it for you, that will be included in your invoice. Just make sure you tell me before I issue your invoice so I know!
Can I bring a friend/family member?
Absolutely! I always love it when clients bring a friend or family member! They're always helpful in making you smile or look your absolute best. They might be employed to hold your gown, or pulled in for a photo :)
Do you Travel?
I do! However, I am a full time student so travel opportunities will be limited by my schedule. There is also an additional fee for my travel expenses, dependent on distance.
