Graduation Photography
I specialize in grad photos for University of Florida (UF) and Sante Fe College (SFC) graduates. I have been providing grad photos in Gainesville, Florida since 2009 and I love bringing my 16+ years of experience to each grad photo session. I provide posing help, location ideas, and other tips to ensure you have amazing photos to celebrate your graduation.
I provide grad photos year-round so I can accommodate your schedule. I can provide a rental cap and gown and I offer a rush processing option so you can get your photos faster! I am available for travel to other colleges or universities outside of Gainesville, Florida.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I am providing a list of my most frequently asked questions. If you have any additional questions or need further clarity, please email me. Need inspiration for your grad photo shoot? Take a look at some of my favorite grad photos!
-
Headshots are a popular add-on to grad sessions. If you choose to add-on a headshot to your grad session, we will shoot your headshot without grad regalia using standard headshot framing from the chest up. A headshot can be added at any time including during the session. Please ask.
NOTE: Headshots cannot be added on to the Mini and Studio sessions.
-
Yes I can provide a cap and gown for a small rental fee (see above). This allows us to shoot almost any time of the year. Please ask during sign up.
NOTE: I currently have a UF undergraduate style of cap and gown to rent.
-
The base time for an Individual Grad Session is up to 60 minutes. Accounting for wait times at and travel between locations, we are normally able to get two locations within the 60-minute session time. During peak grad season, there will be long wait times at each location.
If you would like to shoot more locations, we can always add an additional 30 minutes (one additional location) or 60 minutes (two additional locations) block of time to the session (see Add-ons for pricing).
-
Most UF grads choose from the following: Inside the football stadium, Gator Walk, Bull Gator statues, Murphree Courtyard/Mucozo Tunnel, Plaza of the Americas, UF Arch, or in front of their college.
I am always looking to shoot at new locations so please tell me your ideas.
See link above for photos of ideas.
-
I provide all photos from the session that are in focus, quality images. Light toning and small edits are performed before delivering via a download link. Most sessions average between 50-60 photos.
The exception to this is with the Mini session. For the Mini session, you will receive 20 edited photos that you choose from a gallery. Once you have made your decision, the photos will be provided 7 days after your selection. If you would like them sooner, please ask to add-on rush processing for a fee.
For the studio portrait, you will get two photos of your choosing.
-
Grad photos from Individual and Mini Grad sessions are delivered seven (7) days following the session date.
Grad photos from Group Grad sessions are delivered ten (10) days following the session date.
Grad photos from Studio Portrait Grad sessions are provided two (2) days follwing the session date.
If you would like them sooner, please ask for rush processing.
-
For Mini, Individual and Group grad sessions, you can include family and friends who are not also graduating. So bring the whole fam and all your friends. Just note that you are responsible for coordinating their arrival and travel between locations.
For studio portrait grad sessions, we are not able to accommodate additional persons in the photos.
