Turn Around Time
AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT FILE DELIVERY TIME
Sessions that are booked in April will normally have a turn around time of a few days. Once May comes around, especially a week before graduation, can be so busy that the turn around time can be delayed 3 or more weeks. If you’d like to have your photos before graduation, please book your session in April or early May.

Oh and Don’t Forget!
A FEW TIPS TO MAKE YOUR PHOTOS TURN OUT THE BEST
When you get your stole, make sure you get a chance to steam it or let it stretch overnight to get the creases and wrinkles out. When they arrive in their packages they’ll be a bit creased so it’s always good to open it before the session. Might also want to make sure the gown doesn’t have big wrinkles too. This will help your photos be even better!
Do you have a favorite prop, memento, or item from your time at college or university? For example if you played sports or had an extracurricular activity that you really liked, you could bring an item for a fun picture. I have a cart that I bring to every shoot where we can carry things so it should be no problem :)
Walking from the Grotto to the Dome to the stadium can be a good amount of walking so don’t forget to bring an extra pair of walking shoes! I will normally bring a cart so that we can carry all our items as we go around campus
