Be yourself

Okay, this may sound cheesy, but we're for real! These are YOUR photo, so they can be exactly as you want them! Wear what makes you feel comfortable and beautiful! Bring as many or as few props as you'd like. We're there to capture you, so whatever you want that to look like - we're here for it!

Bring your friends

Friends always make things better! Whether you want people to join in a few photos with you or just be there as your hype team, we would love for you to bring your people along!

Pick the locations most important to you

Grad season (especially Spring) can get busy on school campuses, so it's always a good idea to pick the location most important to you to prioritize during your shoot.

Include memorable items

Graduating in nursing? Bring your scrubs or stethoscope! Do you have memorabilia from organizations you're apart of or even from childhood? Bring them all! Bring whatever you'd like to make your photos memorable for you!

Make a plan for your grad gear

Sometimes Universities and schools distribute graduation caps, gowns, stoles, etc later in the semester. If you are unsure whether or not you will have your grad gear by the time of your shoot, be sure to reach out to a friend who has already graduated to borrow theirs for your photos! The good thing is there are always people willing to lend you their caps and gowns, but don't forget to plan ahead so you have them for your shoot!
