Graduation Photoshoot
You earned the cap and gown. Now let's celebrate your milestone with a set of editorial graduation portraits at Washington DC's most iconic locations — the Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, National Mall, and beyond.
Want something other than monuments as your backdrop? I got you! I can come to your university campus or we can pick any outdoor locations across Maryland and Virginia. I once did a graduation session at Rock Creek Regional Park!
Solo graduation sessions starting at $300
Group sessions for 2–4 graduates are available — and the per-person rate gets better the more of you there are. It's one of the best ways to split the cost of a professional shoot while still getting your own individual portraits — Inquire for group pricing!

What You Are Actually Investing In
When you book a session with me, you're not just paying for an hour of photographing at a location. Your investment covers the full process — from your first message to the moment your gallery lands in your inbox.
Before your session:
We'll connect to nail down location, timing, and what to wear. I research lighting conditions, scout spots in advance, and show up ready — so we're making photos from the first minute, not figuring things out on the fly.
My camera and equipment:
Every portrait and couples session in the DMV is shot on professional-grade camera bodies and lenses, with backup gear on hand. The quality of your images starts before I press the shutter.
During your session:
I'm not just holding a camera. I'm giving you pose direction, reading the light, and moving us between setups — all while keeping things relaxed and fun. Most clients tell me they felt awkward for the first few minutes and forgot the camera was there by the end. That's the goal.
After your session — the part most people don't see:
For every hour we spend together, expect 3–6 hours of editing work behind your final gallery. Every image is individually edited in Lightroom and Photoshop: color grading, exposure, skin tones, selective retouching. Yes, I do have my pwn presets from years of shooting, but I don't simply slap on a preset and call it a day. Each photo is finished by hand, to a standard I'm proud to put my name on.
Delivery:
Your gallery is delivered through a secure, password-protected platform — high-resolution files with a personal use license, ready to print, post, and keep for a lifetime.
What you receive isn't a folder of raw files. It's a finished, curated gallery — every photo complete the moment you open it. To me, every image is a piece of art. And that's exactly how I treat it.
