Graduation Day is finally approaching! It's an exciting but busy time! Cap and gown mini sessions are for the high school senior or college graduate wanting nice portraits in their cap and gown without having to rush around on graduation day!

So why do a cap and gown mini?

Here are 5 reasons!


  1. You only graduate High School once!
  2. Perfect for Digital Graduation Announcements or Thank You Cards!
  3. With the excitement of graduation day, don't let a blurry cell phone picture get you down.
  4. The one photo that is usually captured at graduation as you walk the stage is very hit and miss. In my personal experience at my high school and college graduation, the photo was terrible. Cap & Gown Minis gives you the opportunity to capture your excitement while you celebrate your achievements, and NOT taking the chance of mid-saying "thank you" as they snap your photo walking across the stage to receive your diploma.
  5. You deserve it! You have worked hard to get to this milestone, celebrate!

Tips for Seniors

  • It is advised to dress appropriately under the gown (wear something nice, maybe even what you plan to wear to graduation)
  • Dark pants and a dress shirt, optional tie
  • Lightweight dress or a blouse and skirt that is shorter than the gown so it does not hang below the robe
  • Shoe choice does matter and may be photographed !
  • Color choice partly depends on what color your cap and gown are, and varies depending on your school
  • If you have specific questions, feel free to reach out and ask
  • Keep in mind that graduation gowns wrinkle very easily! Be sure to iron or steam your gown (whatever is advised from the manufacturer) and keep it hung until you put it on at your portrait session
  • I will not be responsible for wrinkles and any additional editing to attire may require an added fee.
  • Bring your cap, tassel, gown, hoods, cords, etc.
  • Tassels are worn on the right side at the start of the graduation ceremony, and are flipped to the left when graduates receive their diplomas
