Three ways to photograph your graduation and formal

As Mackay’s super fun graduation and formal photographer, I have three ways to make the most of your photography session and capture your child’s graduation and formal. 

3 Portrait Photography Ideas to Capture Graduation

After 12 years of study, it is finally here… Graduation and Formal time!! 

1. Same-day graduation and formal photographs

Celebrating their formal with family.

Your child is dressed and looking glamorous and handsome. We head off to a beautiful Mackay location away from the crowds, to capture their portraits, with your nearest and dearest. After an hour we head off to meet their friends for any candid group portraits they like.

 

 

2. Same-day graduation and formal photographs 

Celebrating their formal with family & friends.

Perhaps they would prefer more candid group portraits with friends at their school’s meeting point. We will still include the ‘must have’ parent portraits and with siblings in the location where all their friends are.

 

3. Pre Graduation and formal photographs

Utilising Hair & Make Up Trials

Most of the girls have hair and make up trials weeks before graduation, and why not use this trial time of looking beautiful to pop the dress on too! These images will be kept under-wraps until graduation day. At the end of the session, we’ll wrap up with a 20-min causal style family portrait session – the best of both worlds!

 

YEAR 12 SENIOR PORTRAITS:

Celebrating you, naturally.

This one isn’t technically for graduation, but I love it most! Celebrating your child as they are naturally in an exciting year. Year 12 senior portraits focuses on them and their personality in a beautifully genuine way. Not just for the gals, the guys too – everyone should have beautiful portraits of themselves.

There are some years where dates book out as early as March! Use the contact form to enquire about your graduation date, alternatively you can email.
