graduate portrait experiences

 

The next chapter of your story starts here

You're the star of your story


When I photograph a grad, I’m not just capturing images; I’m telling a story that becomes part of their legacy for the generations to come. My goal is that when you look back at your photos 5, 10, or even 30 years from now, you don’t just remember what you looked  like...you'll remember how you felt.

"LJ did the best job on my grad shoot! Even with me sweating so much and having to pause at times he was very understanding and made me feel comfortable the entire time. He also made me feel like such a model, as this was my first time taking professional pictures. I loved the session so much and would 100% recommend! He also played great music!"

FAQ

Can we customize a collection?

Each collection has been tailored specifically for different needs, however you are able to add on any items to the base collections!

How far in advance should we book?

Because dates go by quickly, I would suggest booking me 2 to 4 months in advance!

How long does it take to get our photos?

Full wedding galleries will be sent 1 month from the wedding day date. All images will be delivered online in a private gallery directly to you. (Don't worry, you'll get previews as well!)

Do you offer albums or prints?

Yes to all of the above. You will receive in your final online gallery your digital images, but I also have a print store where you can order any and all of your printed art work.
