Steam Your Cap and Gown (This Matters!)

This is one of the most important and most overlooked details.

Cap and gowns wrinkle easily, and those wrinkles will show in photos. Taking a few minutes to steam your gown ahead of time makes a huge difference in how polished everything looks.

Be sure to bring:

  • Your cap and gown (steamed and ready to go)
  • Your tassel
  • Any stoles or cords
  • It’s a small step that elevates your entire gallery.

Plan a Couple of Outfits

Your session includes two outfit changes, so think about a mix:

  • One casual look
  • One more dressed-up option

If you’re unsure, we’ll help guide you so your outfits feel cohesive and fit your location and overall vibe.


Keep Things Simple and Natural

You don’t need to overdo it.

  • Hair and makeup should feel like you on your best day. We focus on keeping things natural so your photos feel timeless.
