Miami University Graduates

I am a Miami University Alum (M.S. c/o 2015!) and I cannot explain how much my experience at this university meant to me. I found I wanted to give back to a place that gave me so much and one of those ways is utilizing the skills I learned here to capture your memories at this university free of charge.

I've been taking graduation photos for over ten years and specialize in that classic graduation look with a modern twist. I am currently a full-time Assistant Director of Residence Life and Part-Time Photographer for Miami. You can see some of my work below and in my portfolio. Keep in mind that a lot of these photos are weather and time dependent.

Free means free. No weird fees, no after photo secret charges, you just get your photos. You can ask the hundreds (almost thousands!) of grads I've taken over the years. I really do mean free. There is a time limit though, since I book swiftly.

Groups of 3 or Less

If you are a group of three or less people, you will fall under my 'singles' category. These graduation photoshoots are 30 minutes in length at one location (seal/arch count as 1 location). We can take a surprising amount of photos in 30 minutes, which even includes individual portraits of everyone in 30 minutes.

Groups of 4 or More

You are my 'group' session. These graduation photoshoots are one hour in length at two locations of your choosing. Singles of each individual are harder to do at these two locations, so these sessions tend to focus more on the group(s). Singles are options if we have time!

Here are some tips on your photoshoot day:

• Come prepared with everything you need. Change of shoes for walking, stoles, sashes, medals, etc.
• I can pose you, no problem. If you have other poses in mind/ideas, I am happy to do those as well.
• Safety pins help keep your stoles and sashes in place.
• Graduation season can be busy at certain locations - please be prepared to wait in lines for photos
• The weather is the weather. Sometimes we are going to be contending with wind, sunlight, heat, cold, etc.
• Friends and family are more than welcome to join/hop in for a few photos.
• If you are bringing a pet, please just let me know ahead of time.

Let me know if you have any questions and don't be afraid to ask about anything I have not already answered. Photos come back to you usually in about one week from the photoshoot and through this website. I assume parties are OK with me posting to social media, otherwise please let me know if that is not the case. Miami Communication and Marketing may ask me to use your photographs for marketing. I will reach out for your permission before giving them the OK.

Availability and Rescheduling



I book very fast. If you're ready go ahead and contact me so we can setup a time. I am not available on weekends (Sat/Sun) as I have to reserve those times for work-related tasks.

I can reschedule for rain or weather (usually high winds) and we can find another time that works. Otherwise, if you go through with your photoshoot, I can't guarantee another session if weather gets in the way. Sickness/the unexpected are also definitely valid reasons to reschedule

*Parents: I do not schedule through you all. I schedule directly with students. If your student is interested in a photoshoot please have them contact me directly.
