What is graduation photos?

Each session includes 2-3 outfit changes, mixing cap and gown with casual looks, and is timed around golden hour for warm, cinematic natural light. Sessions are ideal for high school seniors, college graduates, and anyone marking an academic achievement in the Sacramento area. Deliverables include 40-60 individually edited images with a 2-week turnaround, delivered through a private online gallery.

Frequently asked questions
Spring is the most popular — March through May — because the light is warm and campus is in full bloom. But Sacramento has great shooting conditions almost year-round. If you want fall foliage or summer golden hour, those work too. Just book early for spring dates since they fill fast.
Yes, and I recommend it. Most grads bring a cap & gown look plus one or two casual outfits. We will plan quick change spots at your location so transitions feel seamless. Three outfits is the sweet spot for a 60-minute session.
All the time. I know both campuses well — the best light spots at the UC Davis Arboretum, the iconic Sac State library steps, and plenty of less-crowded corners most people walk right past. I also shoot at Sierra College, ARC, and other local campuses.
Four to six weeks is ideal, especially for spring sessions. If you are a planner, booking two to three months out guarantees your preferred date. Last-minute sessions happen when my schedule allows, but the best golden-hour time slots go first.
