Penn State Graduation Photos
We offer sessions from a simple 15 minute cap and gown shoot to a two hour (or more) photo session anywhere on the Penn State campus. You can choose between digital files and prints, or a mix of both in any of the packages, and professional retouching is included. Feel free to bring along a friend or two as well – groups from 2 to 10 or more are welcome!
Please note that wait times at popular spots like the Lion Shrine can be quite long – we recommend having a friend or family member hold your spot, so we don’t waste your session time standing in line! We would also recommend starting as early as possible for the best lighting conditions, and to avoid the crowds. Late afternoon and evening sessions are fine as well, but wait times may be longer. Sessions are generally scheduled during the week, however we do have limited weekend availability – contact us for more information.
All of our photo packages include:
- Pre-shoot consultation and post-shoot ordering session
- Online gallery – viewable on phones, tablets, and computers
- Low-resolution digital files of all photos for social media
- Retouching on all print and high-resolution digital file orders
- Your choice of high-resolution digital files, prints, or both
There is a $75 non-refundable deposit to reserve your session. If we have to postpone due to the weather, we’ll reschedule for another day as soon as possible (usually within one week). The final balance is due on the day of your session.
After your session, we’ll do a basic edit on your images and upload them to your online proofing gallery, usually within 5-7 days of your session. You will be able to download all the images as low-resolution digital files for sharing on social media, and you can then select the images you want for prints, high-resolution digital files, and other photo merchandise. We can also schedule a free image viewing and ordering consultation at our studio, where we can answer any questions you may have.
