Graduation season is just around the corner! I'm now booking sessions for Spring 2025 at UCLA, USC, LMU, and CSUN. Availability is limited, and popular campus locations tend to get busier as graduation approaches. Booking early ensures access to the best spots without the stress of long waits—let’s lock in your session while spots are still open!
A little tip: try to book a shoot close to sunset! I usually have two shoots available to book on the days I am available. Try to book the later shoot to get some great shots at sunset, it's a great way to end one of these sessions :)

Photoshoot Checklist
- Make sure your clothes are clean and wrinkle-free. (Drop off items for drycleaning 1-2 weeks ahead of time.)
- Get a Cap, Gown, Honor Cords, and Stole
- Bring a hairbrush, mirror, hairspray, makeup for touch-ups (if needed).
- Ladies, bring an extra pair of sandals or shoes just in case walking in heels hurts your feet
- Bring Props! Class ring, a champagne bottle, etc. Please do not bring balloons they will most likely be blown away by the wind (trust me) or confetti (there is... no way to clean it up)
- The best way to take great photos is to make sure you’re well-rested. Do yourself a favor and get as much sleep as you can the night before your session.
- Remember this is a HUGE milestone in your life, be proud of yourself, and bring your best attitude to the photoshoot. Make sure to be well-groomed, bring your best smile, and relax. If it is your first time in front of the camera, please do not worry. It is my job to make sure you feel comfortable and provide the best experience for you!
- Please arrive at your session at least 5-10 minutes early, ready for the spotlight!

FAQs
"WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?"
Cash, Debit/Credit Card, Check, Venmo, Zelle, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Let me know if there's anything I missed.
"CAN YOU HELP ME POSE?"
Definitely!
"WHAT IS A GOOD TIME TO SHOOT?"
For the best lighting, I recommend early morning or, preferably, late afternoon.
"WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE SHOOT? HOW WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?"
I will email whoever booked the shoot a link to download high-resolution edited images from the shoot! I deliver all my shoots with Google Drive. You can then download photos individually or all at once, and share the link with friends, family, and fans.
"HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR YOU TO EDIT MY PHOTOS?"
It can take up to two weeks. If needed sooner, I offer next-day deliverables for a fee!
"WHAT CAN I DO TO PREPARE FOR MY SHOOT?"
Make sure to be well-groomed, bring your best smile, and relax. If it is your first time in front of the camera, please do not worry. It is my job to make sure you feel comfortable and provide the best experience for you!
"IS THERE A DEPOSIT?"
I require a 50% deposit for my shoots, with the other 50% due at the end of the shoot. The window for rescheduling closes 48 hours before. Failure to show up to the booked time wastes my time and really bums me out! So please let me know if you can't make it in advance.
"HOW MANY PICTURES WILL YOU TAKE?"
Hundreds, it depends on how many locations we decide to shoot at. By shooting this much, it makes it easier to find the best of the best before I send you the final package.
"CAN I HAVE THE UNEDITED PHOTOS?"
It is my policy to not send RAW photos.
"HOW DO I BOOK A SHOOT WITH YOU?"
You can book your preferred shoot through the link on the relevant page and I will contact you as soon as possible!
