FAQs

  • It’s best to book at least 2-4 weeks in advance, especially during peak graduation season, to secure your preferred date and time.

  • We would monitor the forecast and offer rescheduling options in case of rain or severe weather.

  • Yes! I have black gowns in S and M size, cap with 2025 gold tassel, and Cornell red stole. I also have teddy bear, bouquet and red diploma cover for rental. Let me know what’s your need when booking!

  • You can expect professionally edited photos within 1-2 weeks after the session. I also offer second day sneak peak photos for a rush fee of $50.

  • For personal reasons, please give me at least 48-hour notice if you’d like to reschedule. Deposits are non-refundable but can be applied to a future session.

  • Yes, you’ll receive access to all your photos.
    While many photographers only deliver fully edited images, I believe that everyone has their own unique preferences when it comes to editing style. That’s why, in addition to the carefully retouched photos included in your package, I also provide full access to all the high-resolution, unedited images from your session.

    Giving you access to the full gallery means:

    • You won’t miss a moment. Sometimes the unedited shots capture the most candid, heartfelt expressions that might not make the final cut.

    • You have creative freedom. Whether you want to apply your own edits or share certain images on social media with a specific aesthetic, the choice is yours.

    • Perfect for keepsakes. You'll have a wider selection to choose from when creating albums, gifts, or printing photos for family and friends.

    • More value from your session. You’ll receive everything we captured together—not just the highlights—so you can truly relive the full experience.

    I want you to have a session that’s both meaningful and flexible, and that includes having complete access to your memories.

  • Your final images will be delivered via an online gallery where you can download and share them easily.
