NOTE: Unfortunately, I am no longer offering grad shoots in 2023 and beyond. Thank you so much for the years of insanely fun grad shoots!
2021 Graduation Photos (Scroll down for sample pictures from 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, & 2019!)
Hi all, it's that time of the year again! I will be taking grad shoot reservations now through the end of the school year. It's really easy to book and these sessions always end up being super fun and stress-free. You will get a full album of fun, candid, and beautiful images to commemorate your time at UCLA - I guarantee it!
I have done a lot of these shoots over my 4 years at UCLA (and 6 years post grad) and I can safely guarantee a top notch experience. Last year, I had the honor of working with about 100 different groups of students! They've all been a blast! I try and charge a very reasonable rate for the quality work I provide - I do this because we are students, and I want everyone to have the opportunity to have a great graduation photo shoot. Graduation is a big deal, and I want to make sure that all of my clients get the best images possible to remember their times at UCLA.
I have successfully done over 700 graduation shoots, so I know the ins and outs of campus like the back of my hand.
I highly recommend booking and shooting early to avoid the crowds, lines, and events that take place in May and June.

FAQ's/Info
"What kind of grad shoots do you do?"
The majority of my shoots are of groups of friends who want to have their pictures taken together. Whether it be groups of friends, student clubs, organizations, they all are super fun. I also do many couples shoots, individual shoots and family shoots. Family shoots are perfect for including your parents and siblings who will be joining in on the graduation festivities! If you're graduating from UCLA or any other school, I've got you covered.
"Where do we take pictures on the UCLA campus?"
My shoots start either at the Bruin Bear or in front of Royce. A sample itinerary is as follows: Start at the Bruin bear, then move on to Bruin walk, Janns steps, Royce Hall, Powell Library, and the Fountain. Of course, I take requests and we can really shoot anywhere on campus! Just tell me at the start of our shoot and I will concoct a game plan for us. There are also some hidden gems I can take you to. If you are interested in doing a location shoot elsewhere, contact me and we'll talk! Each year, I set time for a limited number slots for students at USC, Chapman, UC Irvine, Loyola Marymount, and more.
"If I book a group shoot, do we get individual pictures as well?"
Yes! At any of the locations we go to, we will probably get individual shots as well. It's like a 2-for-1 deal.
"Can you help me pose?"
Definitely. I've done over 700 graduation shoots in my lifetime so I know exactly how to pose you! I'll recommend new poses at every location we go to. I like to do a mixture of posed and candid shots.
"Will we get a wide variety of shots?"
I work SUPER fast. Like really fast, we'll moving from place to place and being extra efficient with our time. You'll get photos by yourself, with friends, in many different locations, with different angles, props, etc. My goal is to get you the most photos possible :)
"What should I wear? Can I bring props?"
Most females choose to wear dresses and heels, and most men wear a button down shirt, tie (optional), and slacks. However, it is totally up to you! You can look at my gallery to see what others have worn in the past. Also feel free to consult with me when talk.
"What is a good time to shoot?"
For the best lighting, I recommend morning or later afternoon. I shoot 7 days a week!
"How do you select the photos?"
I don't! You will receive every single photo we take during your session. They will all be edited to achieve my signature look, so you'll have hundreds of insta-worthy shots to choose from.
"What happens after the shoot?"
After our tearful goodbyes, I will email whoever booked the shoot a link to download high-resolution edited images from the shoot! I deliver all my shoots with Smugmug, which is a premium online viewing gallery. You can then download photos individually or all at once, and share the link with friends, family, and your fans.
