Graduates
Grad photos are a special type of photo shoot! It wasn't very long ago and I was in your shoes. I want to get to know you and what makes you happy, so that I can capture your personality in your portraits. For your grad photos, I always recommend bringing a couple props that represent your hobbies or extracurricular activities. That could be an instrument, a ball, jersey, a book, 4H medals; you name it!!

Outfit Tips
Wear what makes you feel confident! Whether it’s a flowy dress, jeans and a cute top, or something totally unique to your style, choose outfits that make you feel comfortable and like yourself.
Stick to neutrals and soft tones. Bright colours and bold patterns can be fun, but softer tones and neutrals tend to photograph best.
Bring layers and accessories. Jackets, hats, scarves, and jewelry can add variety without needing a full outfit change.
Consider your location. If we’re shooting in a field, heels might not be the best choice. Dress for the environment!
Location Tips
Your session location sets the mood for your photos! Here are some great options: Fields & Open Spaces, Urban/Downtown, Beaches & Lakes, Forests & Trails, and Personal Spots – If there’s a place that means something to you (family camp, favorite park, etc.), let’s use it!
Hair and Makeup
Light makeup can enhance your features without looking heavy in photos. Powder & lip color help with shine and touch-ups throughout the shoot. Soft curls, waves, or a simple updo work great. You can always start with your hair down and clip/tie it back for a new look during the session. If you’re thinking about a haircut or colour, I recommend to do it at least a week before your session.
FAQ - Grad Sessions
How far in advance should I schedule my session?
The earlier the better! Fall sessions are usually booked by summer, and spring sessions are usually booked during the winter months.
What should I wear?
Wear what you are comfortable in! If you don't normally wear dresses or a suit, don't feel the pressure to "dress up". Something as simple as jeans and a t shirt can make for beautiful photos. The only thing I do suggest is not to wear too busy of patterns or neon as they can be distracting (however bold patterns can look great!) and also to steer away from large logos or sayings...school spirit is always welcomed! I am always here to give suggestions, and you can feel free to send me your outfit ideas beforehand.
How long until I get to see photos?
I aim to have a few sneak peaks done within 3 days of the session!!! Full galleries can be expected 2-3 weeks after the session date.
What if there is bad weather on the day of my shoot?
Don’t worry, with NB weather, I leave openings during the week for reschedules. I will notify you asap if we do have to reschedule. I usually reschedule if there a 50% or higher chance of rain or if it is just too cold for a winter session. If it’s overcast don’t worry your pictures will still look amazing!
Should I bring someone with me?
Feel free to bring a parent or a friend as long as you’re comfortable in front of them, if not then you can also come solo! They can be very helpful with outfit changes, hyping you up, and holding your things.
I don't know how to pose at all. Will you help?
Absolutely. I will give you tons of ideas and directions throughout your session to help you feel at ease. I use a lot of prompts, motions and simple movements.
Where can we take grad photos?
Most of my grad sessions take place around Woodstock and Hartland, and sometimes Nackawic- Millville, but I’m always open to spots that are meaningful to you. Popular choices include fields, old roads, and lightly wooded areas for a country feel, downtown streets for an urban feel, or personal locations like family camps, backyards, or with your car. Each season in New Brunswick also offers something unique—from spring blossoms to fall colors—so we can choose a location that matches your style.
