FIU Graduation Photographer | Florida International University

One day you’re meeting your friends at Graham Center between classes, grabbing a cafecito before an exam, spending hours studying at Green Library, taking a break by the fountains, or walking across campus on your way to your next lecture. Before you know it, you’re ordering your cap and gown and counting down the days until graduation. The campus you’ve called home for the last few years suddenly becomes a memory. That’s why graduation photos are so much more than pictures in a cap and gown. They’re a way to hold onto the places, the friendships, and all of the little moments that made your time at Florida International University unforgettable. Years from now, these photos will remind you exactly what this season of your life felt like and everything you accomplished to get here.

Congratulations, Panther!

Congratulations! Whether you’re graduating with your bachelor’s degree, master’s degree, doctorate, or another graduate program, this is an incredible accomplishment.

You worked hard for this moment, and your graduation session should feel like a celebration, not another thing to check off your list. My goal is to create a fun, relaxed experience while documenting this chapter of your life.

When Should You Book Your Graduation Photos?

The best time to book your Florida International University graduation session is one to two semesters before graduation.

Graduation season is one of the busiest times of the year, and the most popular morning and golden hour sessions book first. Booking early gives you the best selection of dates and allows us to plan around your classes, graduation events, and travel.

The Best Time of Day for Graduation Photos

I photograph FIU graduation sessions during early mornings and late afternoons leading into golden hour.

Morning sessions are perfect if you’d like a quieter campus, while afternoon sessions have beautiful light and are perfect for celebrating after class.

The Best Graduation Photo Locations at Florida International University

Some of my favorite FIU graduation photo locations include:

• The Panther Statue
• Graham Center
• Green Library
• The FIU fountains
• The FIU entrance sign
• Your college building
• Beautiful walkways throughout campus
• Hidden corners around campus that students know and love

We’ll visit several locations so your gallery feels personal and captures your college experience.

What Should You Wear?

The most popular outfit for FIU graduation photos is a white dress.

White photographs beautifully under your graduation gown and creates a timeless look you’ll love for years to come. If dresses aren’t your style, a white jumpsuit or another neutral outfit is also a beautiful choice.

Some additional tips:

• Steam your gown before your session.
• Bring comfortable shoes between locations.
• Bring a second pair of shoes if you’re wearing heels.
• Don’t forget your honor cords, stole, medals, or graduation sash.

Can I Bring My Pet?

Absolutely!

Your pet is always welcome to join your graduation session. Many graduates choose to include their dog for a few photos before continuing around campus.

How Long Are Graduation Sessions?

Standard Collection | 30 Minutes

Perfect for graduates looking for beautiful portraits at a few campus locations.

Deluxe Collection | 60 Minutes

My most popular option. This gives us enough time to visit multiple locations while creating a wide variety of images.

Deluxe Plus Collection | 90 Minutes

Perfect for multiple outfits, family photos, several campus locations, or including your pet.

What Happens After Your Session?

You’ll receive an online proof gallery where you can view all of your images and choose the ones you’d like professionally edited.

Once you’ve made your selections, I’ll carefully edit your favorite images before delivering your final gallery.
