1. Schedule early

Allow plenty of time to enjoy a stress free process. Session times are limited so give yourself plenty of time to get on the schedule and prepare for your shoot. April through May is the best time for all college shirt + cap and gown sessions to give yourself time to select your favorites, have them edited, share for graduation posts, graduation invitations, and even grad party decor.

2. What to wear

A black and white dress or suit is the timeless choice, or you may want to wear your school colors. It’s important that your outfit doesn’t clash with your robe! Also bring along your favorite pair of jeans and a college shirt. This casual outfit adds an element of fun and surprise to your session! Be sure to bring dress shoes and casual shoes, plus any jewelry or accessories.
