FAQ
When are these sessions scheduled?
Cap and gowns are distributed in April and graduation is early May. Sessions will be scheduled for late April or early May. I have several weekday morning appointments and one weekend of afternoon appointments.
How does session booking work?
Please choose an available date and time. Sessions are scheduled for 90 minutes but depending on group size may be reduced to 60. Once you book your session, I will adjust the time of our session to make sure we have time for your group. (This can mean a little earlier or later.). A $200 nonrefundable retainer is required to book the session.
Where do we take our pictures?
I recommend choosing 2-3 favorite landmarks. Bellarmine Hall front or back, the Stag statue, and the Fairfield U sign are popular choices at Fairfield U.
Optional add ons include the Sea Grape or the beach however those are for an additional cost.
Sacred Heart University grads typically go to the Cathedral, the theater building, the wrought iron gate and the SHU signs.
How does the booking process work?
My packages work like this: One person books the package and is my main contact person for communication and payment. She will let me know how many people will be participating. All shoots include individual and group images. Once I receive your booking I will adjust our session to make sure we have enough time for your group. The more people you have, the bigger the discount!
Can I get photographed alone and with friends?
Yes absolutely! All my packages included individual and group shots. As a group you select your locations and I will do group photos there as well as individual break outs.
Are all photos taken in cap n gown?
I encourage a nice mix of your outfit, cap n gown in photo, and cap n gown being worn. We'll get all combinations. You may also bring honor cords and small props that signify your college experience and major like stethoscopes.
I'm interested in Package 2. Can you explain it?
Package 2 is a really abbreviated version of a typical group and individual senior session. Package 2 takes place at one location only (typically Bellarmine Hall front door for Fairfield or the Frances Xavier Cabrini Hall arches at SHU). There we do group shots with and without gowns/hats. We can also do individual shots as time allows. 30 minutes is enough time to capture the most precious of memories.
