Purdue University on campus GRADUATION Pictures

It’s YOUR time to celebrate!

This is your moment to walk the campus dressed in your stole, cap, and gown—capturing your graduation at the place you’ve called home throughout your college journey. You will quickly feel how fast the days went from when you arrived on campus.

Looking back on my own college experience, I wish I had taken the time to capture it like this—which is exactly why I love offering these keepsake graduation sessions.

THE TIME IS NOW TO BOOK YOUR GRAD SESSION

Booking your graduation for mid-April to senior week is a great goal. Your gown will need to be returned shortly after graduation, so scheduling your session before graduation day ensures you’ll already have beautiful images to celebrate with.

Once your session is booked, the fun begins—choosing your locations!

Top on-campus location ideas (choose 2–3):

• Purdue Memorial Union Archways

• The Bell Tower

• The Engineering Fountain

• Outside Harry’s Chocolate Shop

• Hovde Hall Steps

• Your fraternity or sorority house

• Your major building

• Your freshman dorm or senior house

I’m here to help you create a graduation session that reflects your story in West Lafayette—before you turn the page and officially become an alum. Let’s make it unforgettable!

UIUC on campus GRADUATION TIME IS HERE

That last semester of college hits differently and it went way faster than you thought if I had to guess.

The number of years you will be in Champaign or Urbana based on your address will be different for each graduate but one thing that is the same is the finish line on their path which is graduation from University of Illinois. Campus has been your home away from home and you have created so many memories. Along the way you matured, met many new friends, acquired skills in and out of the class to bring into the next chapter of career or graduate education.

So before you head to your next chapter capturing pictures on campus will be a gift you hold for many years to come!!

When is the best time to book on campus graduation session?

I start traveling to campus late April and continue through May (not graduation weekend). I tend to book sessions on weekdays when the iconic spots are less crowded to avoid long wait times. If would like to use GEIS Memorial Stadium, please make sure the look into the process to enter so we can schedule accordingly

What do I need for my graduation session?

Cap & Gown (ironed/steamed) - Tassels - Stole that has been ironed

Graduation wear - dress/suit/shoes (girls bring sandals for walking)

Champagne is optional and will not be provided but clothing may need to be spot treated for champagne (we do the champagne spray at the end)

Can I take pictures with a group?

The answer is absolutely YES! I allow extra time for a group session for individual and group images to be taken.

How many locations can we take pictures at?

This will vary with each campus based on size and location popularity. I say to think of 3 to start and we can tailor for your timing.

What is the turn around time for pictures?

The turnaround time for pictures is two weeks but you can RUSH them for a fee and have them in 72 hours.
