GRADUATION PORTRAITS

Why take professional graduation portraits with us?

Graduation is an amazing lifetime achievement for you and your family. You’ve worked so hard the past few years taking classes, pulling all-nighters, participating in your clubs and sports, and making new friends. You deserve to commemorate this huge accomplishment with the perfect graduation portraits.

In addition to those, here are some other benefits of taking graduation portraits with Jordan Ferrer Photography:

  • Not only will you receive graduation headshots, but you'll receive professional headshots that you can use for LinkedIn to jumpstart on your career! Professional headshots are included with all packages!
  • Save money by splitting a grad photo package with friends! The price of our "Ultimate" and "Standard" packages can be split amongst your friends! What's college without your friends anyway?
  • We offer high quality prints from a professional photo lab along with various frames that are ready to hang!

 

What are our clients saying about their graduation portraits?

Below is what our awesome clients are saying about us!

“Working with Jordan has always been a positive experience for me. I booked him for multiple formal events as well as for my grad photo shoot with my friends. The turnaround time for the photos were really fast, and I love that he makes you feel comfortable on any occasion. My favorite thing about his photos is that his editing is very natural. The photos don’t look like they are heavily filtered and look super clean.”

- Matthew, Zeta Phi Rho Fraternity

What are some tips to prepare for my graduation portraits?

  • Schedule to have your shoot at least two months before graduation. On top of securing a time on my schedule (which fills up fast), having your session early will give you adequate time to obtain props and outfits and spend less time waiting at the favorite spots around campus! It’s like Disneyland lines sometimes, no joke.
  • Try on all your outfits and layout all your props three (3) days ahead of the shoot to ensure nothing is missing. Running to the store last minute can add unnecessary stress!
  • IMPORTANT: Iron your clothes and graduation stoles to eliminate any wrinkles. There are some pretty harsh creases on the stoles out of the bag.
  • Bring a snack/drink in case you get hungry or thirsty.
  • Wear sunscreen if you burn easily since we'll be outdoors.
  • Hand towels are great for wiping off champagne/glitter, fixing makeup, or dabbing sweat.
  • Props are great for photos and make them unique! Examples of classic grad props are: champagne, confetti, balloons, stuffed animals, chalkboard with writing, flowers/flower petals, cap with tassel, class ring, and a diploma holder.
  • If your heels or dress shoes are uncomfortable to walk in, bring a pair of comfortable shoes/flip flops to walk to the various locations.
  • Make sure to bring your cap, gown, and tassel if you want to be photographed in them.
  • If possible, bring a friend or assistant with you on the day-of to help with wardrobe, setup, and other miscellaneous items. It never hurts to have another set of eyes and hands.
