Cap & Gown Information

Cap and Gown Sessions are available for $75 as an add on to your senior session, or for $250 if you don't do a senior session with me. These will be shot in May and I have 2 dates available. I will send out a sign-up email in April for those that are interested.

These cap and gown minis will be on

May 23rd, 2025 in Downtown Raleigh Or

May 24th at the Seminary in Wake Forest

I DO have cords you can use for the session; since most schools are slow to give them out. I currently have around 20-30 different colors available.


If you don't want a mini at the locations above, I suggest doing the 2 season package or book a mini session on one of my available dates.

FAQ

What month should I book my session?

July-August: Perfect for those that are super active during school
months. 1 hr sessions can be done morning or late evening. 2 hour
sessions need to be done in the morning due to heat and humidity.

Sept-mid Oct: The weather usually starts to cool off some and the grass and trees still look green. Sunset at the beginning of Sept is 7:40, and is 6:30 by mid Oct. Best months if you like brown grass field pics.

late Oct-Nov: Fall colors. Right around Halloween until mid Nov is our peak color changes for those that love Fall. Sunset is 6:20 at the end of Oct, but changes to a little after 5 Nov 3 due to the time change.

March: Some gardens are starting to bloom, esp. Duke in late March. Sunset is from 7:15-7:30

April: Azaleas are blooming and usually look best the 2nd to 3rd week of the month. Sunset is 7:30-8:00 during the month.

May: Temps are getting back to being warm again. Cap and Gown sessions are getting booked and the Rose Garden looks great here mid month. Sunset ranges from 8-8:25.

Are digital images included with your packages?

Yes :-) All edited digitals are included in each session. There are no extra charge to get your images.

Do you book weekend sessions?

I don't offer weekends unless you are on my model team. I try to keep them open for Family time. However, if we have to reschedule due to rain then I will open up weekend slots.

What is your typical timeline?

I try to stay within a two week editing schedule after your session is completed. During the busy season (Sept-Nov and April-May) it will most likely take me 3 weeks to get your edits to you. If you need them rushed, please let me know at the session

What payment methods are available?

A retainer fee is required to hold your session date and can be booked online via my booking site and paid online or via Venmo. Fees vary on this and depend on the type of session you choose. Then the balance is due at the session. The balance can be paid online via cc, through Venmo, or via cash/check. Fees are not refundable, but can be used towards a credit for another session within 1 year from the session date.

do you have questions?


Send me a message here and I will email you shortly with a link to my Senior Magazine that has all the information that you will need to know from session rates to all commonly asked questions. If you have any specific questions before booking, please let me know.


I can't wait to work with you!!
