Celebrate Your Achievements. 

Graduating is a huge accomplishment, and you should be proud of yourself. A graduation photo shoot is the perfect way to celebrate your achievements and capture this special moment in time. You can dress up in your cap and gown or choose a more casual outfit that reflects your personality. Either way, you'll have beautiful photos that showcase your hard work and dedication. Plus, you can share these photos with family and friends who may not have been able to attend your graduation ceremony. Graduating from high school, college or university is a significant accomplishment and deserves to be remembered with tangible printed images that you can cherish for years to come.

Capture the Moment.

Graduation is a momentous occasion that marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. It's a time to celebrate your achievements and the hard work that got you to this point. A graduation photo shoot allows you to capture this moment in time and preserve it for years to come. Whether you choose to display your photos in your home or share them on social media, they will serve as a reminder of your accomplishments and the people who supported you along the way.

Showcase Your Personality.

A graduation photo shoot is a great opportunity to showcase your personality and style. You can select outfits that reflect your personal taste and interests and even incorporate props or accessories that have special meaning to you. Whether you want to show off your love for sports, music, or fashion, a Calgary graduation photography session allows you to express yourself in a unique and creative way. Whether that means you want to dress up in a suit jacket, tie or dress or prefer to wear something casual like denim and a V-neck t-shirt, I will work closely with you to ensure your final grad images reflect the real you. Plus, you'll have professional photos that capture your individuality and make you stand out from the crowd.

Location can also play a huge role in the overall style of images I create for you. Some graduate students love to have a photography studio setting with more formal portraits and access to backdrops that best compliment the mood and feel of images we are going for. Others like to head somewhere outdoors to a park or an urban location like we did with this graduates’ photoshoot. Here we headed to the Calgary Central Library to capture this graduates’ photos and then found a cool graffiti wall close by to take some more casual portraits in a different outfit.

During your pre-session styling consultation, we will discuss the vision for your final images to ensure you fall in love with your final grad portraits that I create for you. I can provide you with various locations around the city that work great for graduation photos should you not have a specific spot in mind.

Location selection can impact the style of your images.

Sharing your photos is a great way to keep the memories alive and show your appreciation for those who have supported you throughout your academic journey.
