Graduation

Solo, group, and family grad sessions across the DMV — permit handling included.

Your graduation marks a once-in-a-lifetime milestone — cap, gown, proud smiles, and all the people who helped you get here.

My goal is to capture every bit of that excitement in vibrant, timeless portraits. I handle the planning, posing, and permits (as needed) so you can celebrate stress-free.

Solo, squad, or full-family — pick the version of graduation day you're celebrating below, with permit handling for the National Mall and monuments available whenever you need it.

Frequently asked

How much do graduation photos cost in the DC area?

Solo grad sessions start at $225 for a 30-minute Mini Cap & Gown and go up to $350 for the 60-minute Signature Graduate with two outfits and multiple locations. Group sessions start at $360 for two graduates.

Can you take graduation photos at the National Mall or monuments?

Yes — the National Mall, Lincoln Memorial, and other monuments are popular spots for DC-area graduation sessions. I handle the permit process for you as a $150 add-on so you don't have to worry about the paperwork.

Do you offer group graduation sessions for friends?

I do! The Study Group Session starts at $360 for two graduates and adds $60 per additional grad. Each person gets at least 5 individual portraits plus group shots — a great way to split the cost and celebrate together.

Can my family be in the graduation photos too?

Absolutely. The Family Graduation Session ($325 for 60 minutes) is designed for exactly that — solo cap-and-gown portraits mixed with proud family shots. Extra family members are just $25 each beyond the base group of four.
