Graduation Photo's - Don't Miss This Important Day of Your Life

Graduation day can be a bit of a whir. The ceremonies, the parade, walking onstage to accept your degree, the speeches and the after parties. You'll be elated and proud and generally on a high of happiness. It is a wonderful achievement just to make it through. During all of the buzz, people will be snapping phone pics. They are great memories but take it from me, in a few years you'll wish you had put a little more effort into your photos.

 

I graduated in the USA and could bring as many family and friends as I wanted to the ceremony but here in Australia quite often you are only allowed two. Like my client. He really wanted a professional photo with his grandmother to remember forever. What a lovely idea.

Nana was in a wheelchair but managed to stand for a few quick shots and a huge hug from her grandson. It was very emotional for me because sadly, my Nana died shortly before my graduation. Sharing this moment with my clients was just wonderful and I'm so glad they found me.
