Family Graduation Photos

I wish I had thought to have professional photos taken after my graduation. I have a few professional shots of me on stage accepting my degree as I shook hands with The Dean, but that's it. How I wished I'd taken some photos with my kids and my mum.

Two Graduates

  Achieving the imagery you desire is directly related to your ability to communicate these wishes to me, your photographer. In this case, Amanda did just that. We worked together to achieve an outcome we were both really happy with. A senior lawyer with an unconventional style, Amanda wanted something that reflected this style so together we worked on the lighting style, background colour and clothing until we settled on the following look, which we both loved.

If there isn't a photo, I delete it immediately.  Bad Photo If it is a bad photo, I think about it a second, then delete it. If it is a nice professional photo showing a confident business person, I definitely check out their profile and most likely add them as a contact. First place recruiters look is your photo Don't just take my word for it.  The Ladders  research into recruiter behaviour proves it.
