Ah, spring in South Bend—where the weather loves to keep us on our toes. Don’t worry; I’ve got a plan:

• The Day Before: I’m obsessively checking the forecast. If it’s clearly going to be a total washout, I’ll let you know and we’ll reschedule.

• The Day Of: For evening sessions, if the forecast is still up in the air, I’ll make the call 3-4 hours ahead so you don’t waste time getting all dolled up for nothing. For sunrise sessions, I’ll decide as soon as I’m up (fingers crossed you’re still snoozing).

• Backup Dates: I set aside 3-4 make-up days just in case Mother Nature gets moody. If we need to reschedule, you’ll get first dibs on those dates.

Here’s the good news: This plan has always worked like a charm. In the extremely rare case that we just can’t make it work, I’ll refund your money (but knock on wood—I haven’t had to do that yet!).

One of us! :) Rachel, Sarah, and I all open dates when booking goes live, so your session may be with any member of the team. Within 2 days of booking, you’ll receive a confirmation email letting you know who your photographer will be, along with direct contact from them.

The best part? Even I can’t tell whose photos are whose sometimes (mine included 😂). All images are edited by Lindsey in the signature style you see throughout the website, so you can expect a consistent experience and gallery no matter who’s behind the camera. Honestly, go ahead and try to figure it out in the example galleries — it’s harder than you’d think!

Your session includes up to three locations, so choose what matters most! Popular spots include the Golden Dome, Library Lawn, and the Grotto, but you can also consider:

• Your dorm (great for roommates!)

• Your school’s building (like the business or law school)

• The lakes (beautiful upgrades there!)

• The God Quad (but keep in mind it may count as two spots if you want extra time)

• DPAC, the sculpture garden, or another special place

Let me know what feels most you, and we’ll plan around it!

For most groups of up to 7 students, yes! In 75 minutes, we can cover 3 locations and take individual portraits at 1 location.

However, with larger groups, time gets tight due to walking and waiting between shots. If you’ve got more than 7 people, I recommend adding an extra 30 minutes to ensure we capture everything, including individual portraits.

Not adding time? No problem! Just be ready to skip the third location or forgo individuals. It’s all about making the session work for you!

Aligning your busy senior year schedules with my handful of dates might be a challenge for your group. If nothing available works, reach out via email. We might be able to find something that works!

We have a handful of LAW ONLY bookings available. Please use the LAW ONLY booking link to see if a date works. If not, please reach out via email. We might be able to accommodate you.

I’m sorry, but no. I cannot book family sessions the weekend of graduation. Trust me, you’ll love your iPhone snap!

Bring your cap, gown, tassels, stoles, and any other regalia. Comfortable walking shoes are highly recommended, along with a hairbrush for windy days or quick touch-ups.

Great question! A little planning goes a long way in making your session efficient and stress-free.

One of the biggest time-savers? Decide ahead of time what everyone will wear at each location. I once had a group create a shared Google Doc and a Pinterest board to map it all out—planning MVPs right there! You don’t have to go that far, but discussing the basics with your group is a game-changer. Here’s an example:

• Touchdown Jesus: Stoles only, cap toss photos.

• The Grotto: Dresses for one set of shots, stoles for another.

• The Dome: Cap and gown for group photos and individuals with the Dome in the background, plus champagne shots by the statue. If there’s time, we can grab a few on the steps too.

This simple step ensures everyone’s on the same page and helps me prioritize what’s most important to you. It’s a win-win for everyone!

Short answer—nope! Longer answer— a print coupon is included as a little bonus, and while you’re not required to use it, I really hope you will. I believe everyone deserves to hold something tangible in their hands. Your photos weren’t meant to live forever on a phone or a hard drive—they deserve a spot on your wall, your desk, or your parents’ fridge.

That said, if you decide not to use the print coupon through my professional lab, you’ll still have full printing rights to use elsewhere whenever you’d like.
