How does a session work?
- Step 1
Pick the spots
Tell Brendan your school and the places that matter, like the clock tower, the quad, or the steps outside your dorm. He'll suggest an order so you're not crossing campus twice.
- Step 2
Shoot in good light
Most grad sessions are booked for the softer light of the late afternoon. Bring your gown, cap, stoles, cords, and a second outfit if you want one.
- Step 3
Get your gallery
Brendan edits every selected image in Adobe, keeping the natural color and depth of the original, and sends a gallery link you can share with family.
Tips from Brendan
- Steam your gown the night before. Wrinkles show more in photos than in person.
- Bring a clean, flat cap and a few bobby pins so it sits straight.
- Book early. Campuses get crowded the week of commencement.
