my biggest piece of advice when it comes to your senior photos is making them feel like you. i think between colorful outfits and the golden hour glow, we captured her sunshine personality perfectly 💛

i’ve been keeping a secret…
applegate.photography just expanded into nyc!!!!!!!!!!!!

and before you freak out, yes i’m still shooting in texas :) allow me to explain:

a little know fact about me is that my family has a tradition when we turn 12. at twelve, you get to pick anywhere in the continental u.s. to go alone with your parent. as one of four kids, alone time with our mom/dad was huge. being the oldest? an even bigger deal.

anyways, i couldn’t tell you why, but i chose nyc for my 12 year trip. and ever since, i knew i wanted to move here. it was always my post grad plan.

until photography in texas took off. how could i ever leave the people (YOU!!!) or place that built my dream — my career — from the ground up? and more practically, how could my location-based business ever relocate when my clientele was very much *not* in nyc?

so i let my dream of moving quietly flit to the back of my mind. a dream slowly drifting. a ‘maybe someday’.

until life woke me up and reminded me that ‘someday’ is never guaranteed.

so i made my own way. and now we’re here. in nyc!!!!!! 12 years later, to the dot, from picking where to go for that pivotal trip. and i’d like to think 12 year old gracyn would be really, really proud

i’ll be back in texas during busy seasons (see ya in april! a few spots still avail 👀) and if that doesn’t work for you, i’m so humbly proud to have built the world’s greatest associate team so i can serve you guys even during the months i’m away — see my website for more info there. and if you have any nyc friends, you know where to send them :)

i’m a broken record at this point, but none of this would be possible without each and every one of you. i’m fulfilling my dreams on so many levels thanks to YOUR trust, support, and belief in me — and i’ll spend the rest of my career trying to repay you for it.

love ya. now go chase your dream. i’m rooting for you.

over the years, I’ve seen these 7 things seriously make or break grad pics… and here’s why

wrinkly clothes → the camera catches EVERYTHING and I can only edit out so much!

forgetting touch-up items → wind + heat + shine happens… having extra items saves the day (look at my what to pack post 👀)

trying a new tanner right before → the color can turn out unpredictable and if it goes wrong… there’s honestly not much you can do last minute

wearing something that isn’t “you” → your grad photos should encapsulate who you are

doing something risky the day before (sunburn, bad self-tan, drinking, staying up too late) → it shows on your skin and your energy

dramatic hair change right before → if you don’t love it, it’s all you’ll notice

waiting too long to book → more stress, less flexibility, and way more rushing than you need

save this for later + trust me… a little prep goes a LONG way 🤍

wondering how to avoid the obstructed tower in pics??? use this shoot with as inspo

olivia came to me after she moved to atx because she hadn’t gotten a chance to take grad photos on UCSC’s campus but still wanted to celebrate her time there. little did i know that *intentionally* avoiding the tower would ultimately allow me serve you guys better now that the tower is under construction 📸
