UMD Senior Photos
Your Journey. Your Story.
Your Maryland Experience. In Images.
Years of work getting here. Nobody else has walked your path. Not the way you have. Don't settle for the run of the mill.
My shoots at the University of Maryland reflect decades of experience on campus and a lifelong love UMD. Every inch of the campus has possibilities, and with my casual approach I'll work with you to craft a session that is easy, casual, fun, and that feels like YOU. My style is candid/natural.
Not over-staged. Not over-processed. Something that when you see, you smile at the memory.
During a pre-session chat we'll discuss your preferences and those special-spots on campus (McKeldin, Hornbake, Maryland Stadium, Reflection Garden or whatever is special to you). We'll come up with a shoot-plan, so I know which are your must-have photos (ODK Fountain, Terp Statue), your major and any inspiration pics you have.
Up-front pricing. Small groups welcome. Digital delivery. Dedicated Gallery. Easy experience. Timeless images. Submit a booking enquiry today!

What is included?
- 90 minute session, or more for groups, allowing us time to explore multiple locations and to support several outfit/combinations
- Pre-session consultation, to discuss your passions, inspiration albums, locations on campus, and those "must have" shots
- Quick-turn "Sneak Peek", often the evening of your shoot, delivering 2-3 images so you don't have long to wait to see what we created together
- Hand-processed fine-tuning of each delivered shot, color-corrected and adjusted for optimal quality using professional post-processing tools
- 35ish or more delivered images per subject -- everything passing my quality control, without making you choose the subset of shots you like
- Digital delivery in a dedicated gallery on my website including one year of webhosting
- Licensing permitting printing, downloading, and sharing (e.g. social media) for all personal uses without restriction
- Photo files in both regular and ultra-high-resolution formats
- Options for professional reprints, enlargements, or photobooks (addl fee)
What should I expect?
My aim is to make your shoot as easy and casual as possible. Have an idea? Share it, and we'll do it if we can. Have an inspiration shot? Let me know! Don't want to worry about that? Let me do it for you!
Before the shoot, we'll schedule a 15-30 minute chat, to get to know each other, so you can share your ideas, so we can discuss your favorite locations on campus, and so I can understand what has been your journey. This will help tailor our session to meet your specific goals.
The Session will generally be scheduled for early morning or late afternoon, to take advantage of the natural light. We'll meet at the shoot location determined in our chat, sort out some light paperwork (portfolio release and such), and get started. The number of locations and what we do at each will vary based on your individualized preferences. Shots will include a mixture of dress attire, gown (with and without cap), and outfit changes if desired. Sessions run appx 90 minutes, but there is flexibility to accommodate your needs.
Following the shoot, generally within a day, I will process 2-3 images in a "Sneak Peek" album, so you can enjoy the excitement of seeing the results of our work. This will be followed by the full album posting, generally 7-10 days following the shoot, and often sooner.
