Summer grads, are you overwhelmed with planning your grad photos? Here’s a small list of what to do before your session:
• If you haven’t already purchased a stole, be sure to do this first! Some colleges do not provide stoles, be sure to place your orders ASAP to make sure you have it made in time for your session. If you’re a TXST student, check out . Etsy is also a great place to look for custom stoles.
• You don’t have to wait for your college to send the cap and gown! I have a set you can borrow for the session
• Have fun and Decorate your cap! Etsy & Amazon sell cute cap toppers
• Plan your outfits and try them on. Also make sure they are wrinkle free
• Book any hair, nail, lash, or makeup appointments that you want! If you opt for press on nails, please bring the glue to the session in case they pop off
• Purchase any extras you’d like for your session. EX: props, extra stoles, champagne, flags, etc.
• Pack your stuff the day before! Make sure your cap, gown, ring, extra outfits and extra accessories are packed and ready to go at least a day before your session.
• If you’re bringing your pet, please bring toys and treats so we can use that to make sure they look at the camera!
If you have any questions please DM me 💕
