Intentionality

Intentionality

My graduation sessions are crafted to cover the many aspects of yourself, and your campus. For full length sessions (Options 2 and 3) you will spend about 1.75 hours of your time in front of the camera, and the other minutes settling in, changing into second or third outfits, and taking water/snack breaks to maintain energy. I ensured to account for all these necessary moments.

Why have my prices increased?


For many reasons!

  • I commute 3 hours round trip to SSU for graduation sessions, which is a lot of gas mileage! Your investment covers some of my gas/wear and tear on my vehicle to get to you.
  • My experience has grown so much these past 5 years of shooting at SSU. You are investing in my knowledge of the campus, lighting situations, prompting/posing, and much more. I know all the secrets the campus has to offer!
  • I have been in HIGH demand the past three years! Last year, I booked up for spring in 1.5 days! Due to high demand, I need to be very intentional with what sessions I choose to accept because my time is so precious! I always offer payment plans, and if those don't align with your financial situation - I have a huge list of other photographers in the area that are more affordable AND provide high-quality photos!

Let's tell your college story

My Story

As a Sonoma State graduate during the pandemic, it felt strange. The exciting vision of graduation felt stripped away from myself, and many of my classmates.

However, it felt wonderful to safely and beautifully capture the essence of our school life.

I want to give the gift of these memories to so many of you.

Here is my fiance and I in front of where we met for the first time - the SSU cafeteria - in the exact clothes we were wearing when we met.

Wild, huh?!
