For the class of 2020, graduation was not what anyone expected, as a photographer that specializes in graduation pictures I do not know what graduation will look like for class of 2021.  I truly hope that though the beginning of the year may not start off as we’d all expected that it ends with all the celebrations like Prom, Grad Night, Homecoming etc…  you deserve for your senior year. 

Each senior has taken a different path to get to their senior year.  Regardless of how you arrived to your senior year it is very important we make the most of it.  One way you can do that is with fun and creative graduation pictures!  Graduation pictures that will be as unique and as special as your journey to this ever-important senior year of high school. 

Many know us for our sports pictures, however, we also specialize in unique graduation pictures.  We have cap and gowns for several of the local high schools.

Graduation Pictures with Cap and Gowns

We can take graduation pictures with the cap and gown from your high school. We have acquired cap and gowns directly from Jostens for most of the local high schools.  Those that we do not have can reach out to Jostens and purchase them.  We will make sure the cap and gowns have been steamed with a high heat steamer and quarantined for at least 3-4 days before the photoshoot to prevent exposure to COVID.

Pictures In Studio or On location

We can do your graduation pictures in the studio or on location.  Through our years of experience in Palm Desert, La Quinta, and the surrounding areas we have collected several amazing locations that fit all types of personalities.  With our knowledge of the area and your input of what you would love will allow us to find the perfect location for your senior pictures amazing!

We love exploring new locations that provide unique senior pictures!  Last year we took trips to Glamis, Salvation Mountain, and the Salton Sea for some creative graduation pictures.  My goal is that my pictures never become stagnant and evolve with the times.  That being said, we also know that some parents and grandparents want traditional poses.  We always make sure we get those images first before we start going for the more creative senior pictures. 

Creative Lighting for Graduation Pictures

We are masters of lighting.  What that means is that we have had enough training and time using several different lighting tools and techniques to make AMAZING pictures in any location.  Ever stare at one of our senior pictures and say, I like it but I am not sure why?  Most likely, it was our lighting.  Sometimes our lighting is so dramatic that you can’t help but notice it and other times it is so subtle that you will not know if lights were used.  Lighting is an art form, it is just as important to know when to light a subject as it is to know when not to light a subject.  I live by a famous saying, “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”.  Sometimes God gives us amazing light and using only that may be the best way to go for your senior portraits.  Other times we have little to no light or the light we have is patchy and ugly.  That’s when knowing how to manipulate the light can take a boring image and make it EXCITING!

Our Graduation Pictures are Never Boring

The school provides you with a company that can take care all of your boring senior picture needs. Joking aside, if you want your senior portraits that will be different than what 90% of your classmates are getting and you want to proudly share them on social media set up an appointment with us so that we can get started on planning your one of a kind graduation pictures.
