Prom Party & Cap and Gown Photography

The Spring season of your high school Senior year brings a flurry of milestones- prom, college decisions, and graduation! Pre-Prom and Pre-graduation photos are a very popular option for graduating seniors. Groups of friends gather at a house or local park to take individual, small group and the full party photos. It is a beautiful way to document some of these 'lasts' for friends and families as they navigate the graduation time.

Prom is one of the most memorable events of high school. Getting dressed up with all of your friends to head out for a night of dance and fun together is a moment to be remembered with formal and fun photos!



Why Book Prom Party Photos?

  1. Once-in-a-Lifetime Event: Prom is one of the most memorable events of high school. You’ll want high-quality photos to remember the people, outfits, and fun.
  2. Professional Quality: Phone snapshots are great, but professional photos offer proper lighting, posing, and editing that elevate your memories.
  3. Group Shots & Glam: Prom is a chance to get glammed up and celebrate with friends. A pro photographer captures both posed portraits and fun, candid group shots.
  4. Great for Social Media & Keepsakes: These photos are perfect for posting, printing, framing, or including in graduation albums.



College and High School Cap and Gown sessions have become some of my favorite shoots! It is you and your besties (and/or family members) celebrating these past few years together! These are the pictures you can hang up in your dorm and make into albums to keep the memories that will last forever with your favorite people



Why Book Cap & Gown Photo Sessions?

  1. Celebrate Your Achievement: Graduating is a big deal! A cap and gown session honors your hard work and milestones.
  2. Professional Graduation Portraits: These are ideal for announcements, thank-you cards, family gifts.
  3. Timeless Family Keepsake: Families love having formal graduation portraits—these are the kinds of photos that live on mantels and photo albums forever.
  4. Group Photos with your friends for memories and college dorms: Gathering with your friends to capture some photos both with and without your caps and gowns is such a fun way to celebrate your achievements together. These photos are great to add to those dorm room walls to remember the where you came from and the people you love from high school. And, it's a great reminder to stay in touch with those friends!
  5. Flexibility and Creativity: You can personalize the shoot with props. Diplomas, awards, balloons, confetti cannons, champagne and t-shirts of your college are all fun additions to your photo session!
