I believe the best graduation photos come from real, unscripted momens. That’s why I aim to capture genuine smiles, excitement, and the pride that make your session uniquely yours.
More than just a photoshoot, this is a chance to celebrate you, your hard work, your journey, and what’s next. Let’s create images that honor this moment and give you something to look back on with pride for years to come!
Graduation is filled with unforgettable moments. I’m here to make sure they last a lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the travel expenses included in your packages or covered additionally?
All my packages are all-inclusive—there’s no extra fee for travel, licensing, or downloads. The price you see is the total price!
Do you travel for photoshoots outside of California?
I do! I’m open to traveling every grad season. We’d just need to check my schedule to see if we can make it work, but I’d love to explore the possibility!
Can I customize a photography package to fit all my needs?
Absolutely! I’m happy to work with you to create a custom package that fits your specific needs. Let me know what you have in mind, and we’ll make it happen!"
How long does it take to receive the final photos?
Your photos will be delivered in 2 weeks or less after your session via an online gallery, which stays active for a full year!
Is there a deposit?
Yes, a 50% non-refundable retainer deposit is due day of booking.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! After paying your deposit, you can split the remaining balance into 2–3 installments leading up to your session or you can use Klarna, Afterpay, or Apple Pay to split your payments into weekly/monthly installments right from your invoice!
What is the difference between 'Enhanced' Images and 'Professionally Edited' Images?
’Professionally Edited' images go through a detailed retouching process, including skin smoothing, blemish removal, color correction, lighting adjustments, object removal and any other refinements needed to make the photo look polished and flawless.
'Enhanced' images still receive adjustments like exposure correction, color toning, and basic touch-ups to ensure they look great, but they don’t include in-depth retouching or fine details like skin retouching or object removal.
This way, you get a mix of fully polished standout images and a collection of beautifully enhanced photos to keep!
Can I bring props to the shoot?
Yes! You are more than welcome to bring props to your photo session. Popping champagne bottles is a popular option. If you haven’t popped a champagne bottle before, no worries. I can instruct you on the best way to do it and it's a lot easier than you think! Biodegradable Confetti and Glitter are also great options! However, if you’d like to leave zero mess, bubbles are an awesome alternative.
What if I need to reschedule?
Rescheduling is free if requested 7 days before your session. Last-minute changes (within 7 days) incur a $60 rescheduling fee.
How do we book you – what are next steps?
Yes! After paying your deposit, you can split the remaining balance into 2–3 installments leading up to your session or you can use Klarna, Afterpay, or Apple Pay to split your payments into weekly/monthly installments right from your invoice!
