Twin Sisters from the Class of 2020 | Calgary Graduation Photographer

Last year, with the COVID restrictions affecting every graduation celebration, I saw many families looking to find a way to enjoy the event. This family had twins who were set to graduate from high school in Okotoks. So, we did a twin session. This session gave them a chance to wear their gowns, but it also gave them a chance to wear their everyday clothes for some more casual portraits together too.

I know that for most Calgary and area graduates this year, your celebrations will look a bit different yet again. I would love to talk to you about what portraits could look like for your child(and your family). I have a variety of options available. One really nice thing about this year is that you don’t have to rush to try and fit everything into one day. I know that most families here try to do that, but this is the perfect excuse to slow down celebrations and make them less rushed/stressful for everyone. If you have a grad in your life that you would like to celebrate, I’d love to chat with you about what that could look like.

And—in case you missed it—I’m currently giving away a full graduation portrait session(a $750+gst value). Nominate a special graduate in your life by going here(nominations close on Feb. 12th at midnight):

Okotoks Graduation Photography

Calling the class of 2018!!! I'm starting to book time slots on some of the most popular grad dates of the year--including right here in my small town, Okotoks. The nice thing about being a graduate of a high school in Okotoks is that if the weather is fine, we can do the session outside, but should it rain(or heaven forbid--snow), I've got you covered in my studio right here in town.

Should you want photographs on the day of your grad--I've got a special deal just for you. A quick 45 minute session with you, your family, and your date. I'll create a minimum of 40 images for you. The session is a flat rate of $750(+gst) and includes the session fee and the full resolution, digital files. Additional products like albums, canvases, and press printed cards are also available. A $250(+gst) deposit is required to reserve your spot in my schedule. Contact me QUICKLY as the spots are not likely to last. 

Here are some photographs I created last year for the beautiful Gianna, her mom and her date.
