My goal is to make the headshot process as efficient, stress-free, and chill as possible. That’s why I charge by time spent shooting and do unlimited looks always. Every package includes one free edit / retouch per look. Additional retouches are $15 per photo. By “retouch” I mean removing obvious mishaps (like hair or lint), light smoothing of the skin, and removal of any blemishes.

I use a simple lighting setup that incorporates both natural light and a studio umbrella. I want to make your eyes pop and your skin glow. We will pick color backdrops that complement your skin tone, hair, and choice of clothing. If you have guide photos, please feel free to show them to me.

For all shoots:
Please arrive fifteen minutes early to settle in.
Arrive photo ready, bring makeup and hair bag for touch-ups.
Shoot as many photos we can take during our time.
Receive all unedited, high-resolution images.

Please pay as soon as you book to confirm your spot. (If you cannot pay when you book, please reach out and let me know the situation so I can grant an exception.) Payment details are outlined in the Calendly booking schedule.

Please give me at least 48 hour notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. I understand that issues come up, and – even if you need to cancel day of – I will offer a full refund. To reduce the amount of transactions, I don’t accept deposits. Please pay the full cost as soon as you book the shoot. (I will always refund you for any reason prior to shooting.) There are absolutely no refunds after shooting.

Please note: all of this information and more is outlined in the description of the Calendly booking schedule, and it is tailored to each school. I currently offer shoots for UCLA, USC, and Princeton University (in May only.) I take 150k+ grad photos every spring, and have been offering grad shoots for nearly a decade.

If you are a senior, and interested in booking in the spring of 2026, please fill out your information on this Google Form. You will be notified when I start booking in early 2026!

Please look at the “Complete Weather and Light Guide” for more information.

Different areas of campus look best at different times. I will take you to the best looking spots during the time we have together. There are pros and cons to every lighting situation, so it’s hard to go wrong unless it is overcast or raining (in both cases we will reschedule.)

I schedule shoots on Calendly in half-hour increments. It is an easy flat rate for time, regardless of how many people join your shoot. Thirty minutes is (surprisingly) plenty of time for one person to get the classic shots in. Most individuals choose that option. I take around 200-300 photos per half hour, depending how quickly we move around.

You don’t have to follow this, but this is a general guideline for the amount of time to book given a certain number of people:

1 or 2 people: half hour
3 to 5 people: 45 mins to an hour
5+ people: hour or more

If you want to schedule more than a half hour, please book consecutive slots. If you want to book just 45 mins, please book TWO half hour slots (and we will end 15 minutes early).

These prices include delivery of all the photos we take during that time, fully edited in my style. These prices also include as many people joining you as you’d like! It’s a simple flat rate for time.

Rates:
$175 for 30 minutes
$250 for 45 minutes
$325 for 1 hour
$475 for 1.5 hours
$625 for 2 hours

If you’d like the gallery edited in black and white as well, it’s an extra $20.

YES!!!!! Bring your friends to shoot with you, at NO additional cost! (You can split the rate amongst your group.) Keep in mind that if you bring friends, you will not get as many photos of yourself, but it also depends on how quickly we move.

Bring your graduation gear, like your sash, cap, and gown. Fun extra stuff you could bring are champagne, confetti, balloons, and your pet. Please see collection of past grad photos for ideas! There will be time to take a variety of photos.

A half hour yields around 200-300 photos ish — oftentimes more! — and they are all beautifully edited and ready to share or print. I send every photo I take, so there’s no stress in choosing your favorites.
