Nalenie has been our client for more than five years!! We are so happy to see that we are growing together and also we loved to be part of this milestones in her life.
St.Leo University is a beautiful place, she wanted to do some photos there alone and with her family. This family is always super sweet and lovely to us.
We loved the way this session turned out. Check here some of our favorites.
If you are looking to book your session pls send us your info
We normally do some solo portraits with the cap and hat , but also we can shoot with family members and a different outfit, this way our clients enjoy more the time with us.
Walking around the campus is also a great idea, but we should recommend to bring water and different shoes to walk long distances.

Communication
The first step for any photo session and ensuring amazing images is communication between the photographer and the client. Discuss with your clients or graduates what are the expectations of the session. What kind of ideas does your client want to recreate? Does the graduate have location ideas, props, different outfits, or certain poses that they would like to use? Establishing the vision of the graduation session takes strong communication between both parties and you guys will become a team.
Location
Location is all about timing and lighting. After, the photographer and client have discussed a vision for the graduation photos. Securing a location is next. Most photographers may have an idea of which location has a certain background that the client is looking for. Photographers also know what time of day will be best to get the type of images that you’re looking for. Once you’re able to agree on a location, of course, the photographer and the client will be able to have fun with the background and may be able to take more pictures that fits the client’s idea!
Trust Your Photographer
Clients, trust your photographer! We cannot stress this enough on how important this is. Photographers have been working in many different locations and may have seen a place that fits your idea. If you have a Pinterest board or image ideas to show your photographer, that will guarantee your photographer knows what kind of setting and concept you want for your graduation pictures. Photographers know what kind of images would look good certain locations. If photos should be taken outside or inside, daytime or night time. Maybe if its something specific, it may be better to shoot the pictures in the studio. The photographer may also share a list of best locations depending on what type of look you’re going for. Where the photographer or client can decide.
HAVE FUN!
Its extremely significant that both the photographer and the client are having fun during the session. Your attitude and demeanor shows in your images. Everyone having fun will translate better into images. If something looks bad or needs to be adjusted, the photographer will take initiative and mention what needs to be corrected. Trust your photographer to tell you “move these, move that, do this with your hand, put your hand here, put your hand there”. Clients, think of your photographers as a “coach.” Photographers, coach your clients in between and let them know the best way to pose. Photographers should always be talking with their clients from behind the camera. Making conversation, smiling and laughing naturally will create beautiful candid moments that really look amazing. Some of the best images I have are those laughs, those smiles. So, just relax and have fun!
