UF FAQ
How do I book?
All UF graduates will need to fill out the UF Spring 2026 Interest form to book a session. Booking will begin in December.
What is required to book?
It's important to note that a 50% deposit is required when booking. Your session is not confirmed until the retainer is paid and the contract is signed. Retainer invoices will go out starting in January.
When do you recommend getting my graduation pictures done?
The earlier, the better. Come April, the lines almost everywhere can be 30+ minutes long, which would fall into schedule time. I recommend booking ASAP to ensure you get the most out of your experience. The morning sun is brighter, whereas the evening sun is warmer.
Do you have a cap + gown I can use for my graduation pictures?
Yes! I have a cap, gown, and stole available upon request. Please note, these are not ironed or steamed before every session so if you prefer these items completely wrinkle-free, make sure to purchase them as soon as UF releases them (normally the beginning of January). You can also borrow from a friend!
Can I do an outfit change?
Of course! Just make sure to note that each outfit change will be included in your timed session.
Do you help with posing?
Yes! I have photographed over 1000 graduates and have learned many different poses along the way. If you have specific ones in mind, please bring them along. However, this is not required and I will guide you the whole time.
Do I choose the photos I want edited?
Yes! You will receive all of your unedited pictures to choose which you would like edited. Please note, the unedited photos will be watermarked.
Do i get the unedited photos?
You will receive all of the unedited photos with a watermark for the purpose of selecting which ones you would like edited. The delivery of unedited and unwatermarked images is available for $100 for individual sessions and $75 per graduate for group sessions.
Can my friends and family be in my photos?
Family and friends are included free of charge; however, please note, friends may not be in regalia unless they are also a client of mine. If you would like pictures with other graduates in regalia, please consider booking a group session.
Additionally, please ensure your guests understand that there is always a possibility we may need to reschedule for weather (important for those who plan to have people travel to town for this).
What is the turnaround time?
I do not guarantee a turnaround time during my busy season; however, it's typically about three weeks from when you selected your images.
Do you do any touch ups?
Yes! Any blemishes, scarring, bruises, scrapes, etc. are included in editing for you only. However, I will never touch any of these things unless you ask.
Additionally, I do not make any edits to alter your body's natural shape or appearance.
The removal of people in the background, distracting objects and fly away hair in close up images is also included when possible.
Do you offer rushed processing?
Rushed processing can be purchased for $75 for individual sessions, which means you would get your photos in 2-3 days after choosing the ones you want edited. Rushed processing for group sessions is $50 per graduate and each person must purchase this as your gallery gets edited all together.
Please note, rushed processing is not always available if I have lots of sessions in the queue or we are close to graduation.
What happens if it rains?
If it happens to be raining on the day of your shoot, we will reschedule for a time that works best for the both of us. You will receive your deposit back in full if it rains and we cannot reschedule.
For the safety and well being of myself and you, I do not shoot in rain, thunder or lightning.
If it's gloomy, you will also have the option to reschedule.
Can I bring a pet?
I would love for you to bring your pet! You must also bring water, doggie bags and someone to watch them while we work. Your furry friend is also required to be on a leash or held the entire time for their own safety!
What if the stadium is closed on the day of our session?
The stadium has its own schedule and announces closures sporadically, and I unfortunately have no control over this. Please have a back up location in mind in the event that the stadium is closed during your scheduled date and time.
What forms of payment can I use?
You will receive an invoice with options to pay via debit/credit, Zelle or Venmo. Cash is also accepted for the remaining payment.
