§ The process

How we'll work.

  1. 01

    Pick the location

    Campus, downtown, somewhere that means something. I'll suggest spots that light well at the time of day you want to shoot.

  2. 02

    Two looks in sixty minutes

    Cap-and-gown first, then the personal outfit — the one that looks like you. I move fast and keep it light.

  3. 03

    Gallery in ten days

    Fast turnaround because grad season is tight. All edited images in your private online gallery, ready to download.

§ FAQ

Melissa questions.

Do you travel to Melissa?

Yes — Melissa is the home base. No travel fees anywhere inside the city.

Where is a good spot for family photos in Melissa?

For outdoor sessions, the community parks work well, and Erwin Park just south in McKinney adds wooded options. For toddler sessions I strongly recommend in-home.

How far in advance should I book?

Most Melissa sessions are family or first-year shoots — two to six weeks is typical. For weddings, book six to twelve months out. For private events, one to three months.

Do you work with new parents who aren't sure what they need?

Yes — most Melissa families start with a quick call. I'll walk you through the options and tell you honestly what makes sense for where you are in the chapter.

Is spring fully booked already?

Graduation season runs March through June. Weekend slots in May book first, usually by February. Inquire early.

Can we include friends or the whole team?

Yes — tell me the group size when you inquire and I'll quote the add-on.

Do you do college graduations?

Plano, Denton, College Station, Arlington — yes. Travel fees apply beyond North Dallas; I'll quote flat.
