College Graduation Portrait Session Pricing

 

My college graduation portrait sessions are $500.

I love doing college graduation portrait sessions, and I love giving the students I work with a great deal of attention and time for these sessions.

My pricing is based on the fact the session will not have a time limit or a limit on the number of high-resolution images you receive. It’s also based on my experience, the time spent preparing for the session, and editing the photos afterward.

I believe my pricing is very competitive and well worth all the features you receive when you schedule a graduation portrait session.

It is a great investment to help you remember the years spent at your school and the future you have ahead of you!

Scheduling a Graduation Portrait Session

 

As we approach the day of your session, I’ll work with you to put together a timeline, get your creative input, and figure out the best stylistic choices for the shoot.

It’s YOUR portrait session, and I want as much input as you want to provide!

When you inquire about a college graduation portrait session, I’ll ask you what time you’d like to do the shoot.

I photograph portrait sessions in the early morning (At or just after sunrise) or in the afternoon/evening (Think closer to sunset).

Do also note that I limit myself to two portrait sessions a day to ensure every student who books with me gets the proper attention they deserve.

Graduation Portrait Sessions with No Time Limit

 

Ever since I started doing photography professionally in 2010, I’ve wanted to tell the entire story of my clients.

That means I will not impose a time limit on your graduation portrait session.

We can shoot as much as you want and as long as you want!

This also means there are no limits on the number of locations used or limits on the number of wardrobe changes allowed!

On top of all of that, you get your photos back in a matter of days. I don’t make you wait weeks or months to receive your images.

I fully understand this is a special time in your life, and I want to help provide you with as much as I can to celebrate it!

These are Your Graduation Portraits

 

 This is a special moment in your life and these are your photos. I want them to be what you want and represent who you are.

I’ll make sure the graduation portrait session is 100% stress-free so that you can relax and enjoy all the aspects of the shoot.

Now if you’re looking for someone who’s going to be rigid and do things with a cookie-cutter approach, I might not be the best fit for you.

I like to do things a bit differently, and I love working with those who enjoy the same!

Graduation Portrait Session Availability

 

Birmingham, Alabama is home and my base of operations. That means a large part of my coverage area has been Tuscaloosa, Alabama along with the Nashville + Atlanta metro areas and locations throughout Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi.

If you are in a 250-mile radius, I do not add any additional travel fees to photograph your session.

I am, however, happy to come to any school or location beyond that radius throughout the United States for a graduation portrait session. Travel fees might have to be applied for schools out of the 250 mile radius, but I will work with you on that because I never want distances to be a factor in getting the portraits you want and deserve!

David recently photographed our teen for their senior portraits, and I highly recommend him. He understood our unique requests. He was efficient but took the time to help put any nerves at ease, making our teen look their best, natural self in front of the camera..

He captured not only their personality in the pictures but also the natural light and chosen background in such a beautiful way.

We look forward to using him again when our next teen becomes a senior. Highly recommend him for senior portraits.

David took my graduation photos, and I must say that they turned out brilliant! He gave such good direction, and he made sure I got all of the shots I wanted to take. I got my pictures back super quickly, and I feel that the work really spoke for itself. If you’re looking for a photographer in the Birmingham/Tuscaloosa area, I cannot recommend DSmithImages highly enough!!!

BOOK DAVID!! I can go on and on about him! He did my masters' graduation pictures at The University of Alabama and I was so impressed and ecstatic with the results! David was affordable and gave me a great portfolio with a good quantity of pictures. He also let me split a session with a friend making it well within a reasonable price range for the finished products, and I got fun, memorable pictures with friends! We were able to make the shoot very unique and personal, he helped pose us and let us add on whatever shots we wanted as well! He was extremely nice and fun to shoot with, flexible with dates, affordable, captured amazing images, does not over-edit, and was very attentive and responsive!! I never had to wait long at all for a response from him. These are all things that are extremely hard to find in a photographer in Tuscaloosa. I would know, I have lived here for over 5 years, have two degrees, and I've had many kinds of graduation photoshoots!
