Last Week I shot 10 individuals for graduation🎓

I wanted to compile a list of things I learned and tried that seriously helped me!
-
1️⃣Roadmap and Instructions:
- Creating a roadmap made things significantly easier allowing me to map each location, the amount of time for each location and changes to fit the person I was working with. Instructions also allowed my clients to view and see what I was expecting, what they expected from me, and made things clearer allowing the workflow to be easy. 
-
2️⃣Find your ideas and test them
- you may opt to skip this part but in my opinion it’s important to test your ideas. Make sure you get the look that you want with the area, settings, and lenses.

3️⃣Allow a Guest or Two
- Family and guests for an occasion like graduation is a MUST. This moment in anyone’s life is a step towards greatness and what better way than to have that experience with photos with your loved ones❤️
-
4️⃣Props & Creativity
- THEY ARE THE STAR OF THE SHOW…I can’t stress how important this is. Let your clients experiment and change any poses they would like letting them show who they are and what they represent. Some people are goofier than others, played a sport, or are interested in showing something they are passionate about. It’s their moment and they should be allowed to have the freedom to alter some aspects to give them the best experience. 
-
5️⃣Make it memorable
- A big part of these sessions is making sure you leave a lasting impression by connecting with the individual and sharing things that might appeal or make them happy. These sessions were 1.5-2 hours long and allowed me time to learn something about them, share laughs, or just discuss photography or graduation itself. You’re a service but you’re also a person, so show them who you are!!

📝Big s/o to everyone I worked with. I was truly truly grateful for being able to capture these photos and I wish you all the best of luck in everything you strive for❤️
