How to choose a location for your Graduation Session.
If you have a location that is special to you, such as a family farm, property or lake please feel free to incorporate this into your session! I love new locations and it is definitely more special when there are memories attached to the spot! Does your family farm? Or maybe you love the ball-field because you are into sports! Remember this session is about YOU! Get creative!
What to bring to your session?
-Extra shoes. Bring flats if you aren’t already wearing them. Not just for photo times but this will make it easier to walk to various locations.
-Water. Stay hydrated!
- Special items that reflect your interests or personality. Are you a sporty type? Bring sports equipment, shoes, or jersey/jackets. Book worm? Bring some books! Gamer? Bring your laptop. Play instruments? Bring your guitar or any instrument to use as a prop. Trust me, you will love the results! Personalizing your session with these items will level up your session!
Track shoes and a suit :D

J- Loved this building located in North Battleford and she asked if it was a good location for photos? YES!! I love incorporating your favorite locations!
O- photos around the family farm. - Love this!
Prepare to have family photos taken and get them out of the way first, then we will say “Adios” to the fam jam. I like to remove awkward onlookers, family, (usually over zealous parents) that will take away the experience of the session. My goal is to relax, have fun and capture the true you! This is easiest when we don’t have mom yelling “SMILE!” over my shoulder ha ha ha!
I do encourage your escort or a bestie that you can laugh freely with or act goofy around to stay with us- someone you are super comfortable with. It does help to have an extra set of hands to help me - sometimes I need a branch held out of the way or a dress to adjust.
If you are feeling extra - I also offer Smoke Bombs as an add-on item for your session! They are a lot of fun, and add a little pizazz to your photos!!
Smoke bomb Experience add on is $125 + tax and can be added on to your Session any time,
I can’t wait to capture your fun Graduation Session!
