School formals
School graduations are a big milestone, and they deserve to be documented as a celebration of this new, exciting chapter.
I offer curated formal photography starting at $350 to capture the end of the schooling journey, either on formal day or prior.
As I only offer a limited number of sessions on formal dates, I recommend reaching out early to book your date.

Formal sessions
Formal sessions are designed to run smoothly on a busy day. Most graduates opt for a 45 minute session that include family portraits. Many graduates also choose to include their partner, along with their partner’s family, as part of the same session.
Pre-graduation sessions
If you’d prefer a more relaxed formal experience, pre-graduation sessions are a great option. Scheduled before formal day (often to coincide with hair and makeup trials), they offer more flexibility with timing and locations whilst avoiding the crowds.
Senior sessions
Senior sessions are all about you and your family. These portrait sessions go beyond formal day, with the option to include meaningful locations or hobbies, creating something personal to reflect who you are at this stage of life.
Formals FAQ
When should I book?
To ensure I can provide the best possible experience to each client, I only take a small number of booking per formal date. Graduation sessions often book 12+ months in advance, and I offer a shortlist if the school hasn't formally announced the date (or I haven't opened bookings yet).
How do graduation sessions work?
Sessions are typically scheduled between 2–5pm (finalised once walkthrough details are released). My most popular packages include a mix of family and graduate portraits - both individual and some with your formal partner. Many graduates also choose to include their formal car.
Where will our photos be taken?
On formal days, locations are usually pre-selected close to your school or walkthrough venue to ensure things run smoothly. I choose areas that offer a variety of backdrops, so you still receive a diverse gallery without needing to travel far.
should we book a pre-graduation session instead?
Pre-graduation photos give you freedom to enjoy the experience without a strict formal day schedule. Enjoy sunset timing, no crowds, flexible locations, and the chance to trial hair and makeup while capturing beautiful images.
