Prom & Graduation Photography

Graduation Photography London Ontario

Studio or On-Location Graduation Photography

Celebrate this very important time in your life by capturing some great photos of you and your friends and family. Here are some things to keep in mind to make your prom/graduation photography session as fun as possible.

Location/ Time

Prom/graduation sessions can be done on the day of your prom/graduation or anytime after. Having the session on the actual day can be a good idea as you will already be wearing your gown/suit and have your hair/makeup done. There are two different types of prom/ graduation sessions. In Studio sessions are a little more formal but can still be fun and you can include your family.
On Location sessions give you a chance to express your personality by choosing a location that means something to you and they can be more candid
Please note I can provide a simple cap, gown and sash with a few options of colour.

Hair and Makeup

We cannot stress enough the importance of having a high quality hair and makeup artist for your prom/graduation session. A professional will be able to bring out your best features and will know how to apply the makeup so that it will look good on camera but can also keep it natural looking. Fake tanner is a personal choice but we recommend that you not use it unless you have had a trial run and know how your skin reacts. There is nothing worse than having to do the entire session in black and white because the tanner looks fake.

Clothing

Generally I suggest starting the session with something formal like a suit, prom dress, or graduation gown. You might then consider having a few shots done while wearing something business casual that can be used for headshots in the future. And lastly, something more casual that is really “your style”, a fashion choice that you know you will enjoy looking back on the photographs for years to come.

Props

Most of the time if a prop is being used in a prom/graduation session it has a relation to your time at school, for example if you were on a sports team bringing a jersey or equipment or if you majored in music, bringing your musical instrument.

What to do with the images

Share them online and be sure to make prints to give to family to be treasured for years to come!

Other tips-

Bringing a variety of accessories can add variety to your session
Be sure to be hydrated by drinking lots of water for a few days ahead of your shoot and moisturize.
Eat before your session so that you have the energy to be able to smile with your eyes and show off your wonderful personality.

Client Feedback.

For my graduation session Erin was very friendly and personable, which made the session fun. Obviously very talented and knowledgeable in what she does. I have a somewhat difficult time smiling naturally in photos, Erin made me feel comfortable and my smile felt more natural as a result. The photographs and experience were better than I have had with other photographers. What I liked most was the combination of a relaxing atmosphere with efficiency. Erin makes every second count without making you feel rushed. She filled all of my needs for the photographs, everything was great

Steph

Erin was a fantastic photographer for our family Kindergarten graduation/ Spring photoshoot. She was professional, easy to work with and funny which made for a fun and relaxing family shoot. She obviously has years of experiences behind her and can work quick on her feet to get great shots. Thank you Erin!100% recommend Woodgate Photograph for any and all of your professional photo needs.
