celebrating a degree
A LUXURY GRADUATE EXPERIENCE
Graduation photos are the best way to look back and remember your time spent in our small college town. No matter where you go or what you do with that degree, Tuscaloosa will always be the place you called home for these formative years of your adult life. Let's spend some time together capturing your memories at all the iconic spots on campus!
We can pop champagne at Bryant Denny, toss your cap at the President's Mansion...let's plan a session that's perfectly tailored for you.
Congratulations, and Roll Tide!

inquiry & booking
I'm so excited to shoot your grad session! After receiving your inquiry, I'll send over my pricing information and a link to choose your session date and time, and session package. Once your session date is chosen, I’ll send over a booking proposal. The booking proposal will contain an invoice & contract. A $300 retainer is due at booking. Once the proposal is complete, the planning begins! Your remaining invoice balance is due the week before our session.
01.
YOU'RE BOOKED!
After the booking proposal is complete, I’ll send over a planning questionnaire so we can plan your perfect session!
Around a month before your session date, I’ll touch base to go over your questionnaire + send over some information/tips to make sure you have a great experience! If you have any questions or concerns in between booking and session, you can always reach out!
02.
sESSION cHECK-IN!
The week before your shoot, I'll reach out to confirm our meeting details. If there is a chance of rain, I will touch base 48 hours before our session. My weather policy is to automatically reschedule sessions when there is a 50% chance of rain or higher. Other inclement weather (extreme cold, extreme heat, high winds, etc.) may also result in a session reschedule. I always monitor the weather closely, so if there is any inclement weather in the forecast, I will touch base before our session to form a game plan.
03.
It's session day!
You can finally get all dolled up to celebrate your accomplishment. Don’t forget to grab your cap, gown, stole, cords, and all the regalia. If you’d like to bring a friend or family member to tag along they are always welcome! I know sometimes being in front of the camera can feel awkward, but don't worry about having to pose yourself. It's my job to help your beauty shine. Just relax and have fun!
04.
Previews & delivery
So the shoot is done and now you're ready for your photos! What's next? Within 24-48 hours I will send you a sneak peek of your photos. Around 3 weeks after your session you will be sent your final gallery. Your images can be accessed through your online digital gallery. From your online gallery, you'll be able to view, download, and share your full-size, high-quality images!
05.
PRINTS & ordering
Each package includes a print credit. What is a print credit? It's basically like an online gift card that can be used towards placing orders for prints and product! Your gallery will include an online print store to order yourself, or I can place the order for you!
06.
Session Collections begin at $1,200, with the average total client investment being around $1,500.
Session collections are based on length of session and number of campus locations. Sessions include all digital images delivered for download with print release.
For full session pricing, please contact me.

Can i bring an outfit change?
You're welcome to bring a change of outfit! Just give me a heads up so I can bring my pop-up changing tent if needed!
I do recommend keeping the outfits at 2 max. Since it takes a bit of time to walk around to our different locations on campus, I don't want us to sacrifice a ton of shooting time for outfit changes.
01.
What happens if it rains?
It’s inevitable, sometimes bad weather just happens! My weather policy is to automatically reschedule sessions when there is a 50% chance of rain or higher. Other inclement weather (extreme cold, extreme heat, high winds, etc.) may also result in a session reschedule. I always monitor the weather closely, so if there is any inclement weather in the forecast, I will touch base before our session to form a game plan.
02.
HOW MANY LOCATIONS CAN I have?
Depends on the session collection you choose, you can keep it simple with just 2 locations or go all out and have photos taken at 4 or 5 iconic campus spots!
03.
CAN I GET PHOTOS WITH MY FRIENDS?
If you'd like a couple of photos with your friend(s) that is no problem.
If any of your friends are graduating and want their own individual photos, you will need to book a group session instead!
04.
Mary did my college senior pictures and I loved them so much! Not only were the pictures gorgeous, but Mary was so sweet and made the day amazing. 100% recommend!
