How it works

  1. Choose a session

    Each one lists the photos, the time and the looks up front, so the only surprise is how good the light is.

  2. Request a date

    Pick an open time from Yvette's calendar. It stays on hold for you while she looks it over.

  3. Yvette confirms and sends the invoice

    She replies within 48 hours. Yvette sends the invoice the day she confirms. It is due within 7 days, and paying it keeps your date.

Questions, answered

Is garden admission included?

Garden admission for the senior and one adult is included. Other guests buy their own tickets, and parking is not included.

Can family and friends come along?

Guests are welcome to come along; this session photographs one senior. Each guest beyond the included adult buys their own garden ticket.

How does the second look work?

Wear your own outfit under the cap and gown. We photograph the graduation look first, then the gown comes off for your personal style. No changing room needed.

What should we bring?

The cap and gown, any stoles or cords, your own-look outfit if your session includes one, comfortable shoes for the garden paths, and water on warm days.

What if it rains?

Yvette checks the forecast and decides by 8:00 AM the day before, then texts or emails you. Your first weather reschedule is free, and if no new date suits, anything you paid is refunded.

How do we get the photos?

Yvette chooses and edits the finished photos, then sends a link to download them in full resolution, with permission to print them for personal use. The number of photos depends on your session.

When do we pay?

Nothing is due when you request a date. Yvette sends the invoice the day she confirms. It is due within 7 days, and paying it keeps your date.

We're not very photogenic. Will that be a problem?

You don't need a collection of poses. Yvette will guide you through it.

The garden is ready when you are.

Pick a session, request a date, and Yvette takes it from there.
