Why hire a professional
More than a selfie in front of the Bodleian
Your graduation is a once-in-a-lifetime achievement. Professional portraits preserve this milestone in a way that phone cameras simply cannot — images your family will cherish for decades.

Why graduates choose me
Three things that shape every graduation session I shoot.
Oxford Specialist
I know every iconic corner of the city — the best light at the Radcliffe Camera, the golden stone of the Bodleian, the cobbles of Turl Street. This is my city, and it shows in the photographs.
Relaxed & Natural
I will help you with posing and will direct you, so need to worry about that. At the same time, it is not just stiff poses. We walk, we chat, we laugh — and the best graduation portraits look exactly like you: proud, joyful and completely at ease in your gown.
Your gallery in 3 days
Your fully edited gallery is ready within 3 working days — so you can share it with family before you’ve even left Oxford.

Graduation questions
How long does a graduation portrait session take?
The Scholar and Congregation (up to 1 hour) packages are ideal for graduation, giving time to visit 2–3 iconic Oxford locations. Longer sessions of up to 3 hours are available if you’d like to include more locations or multiple outfit changes.
Can my family join the graduation shoot?
Absolutely — family group portraits are a wonderful part of a graduation shoot. I’ll capture formal family portraits as well as candid moments that reflect the genuine joy of the day.
When will I receive my graduation photos?
Do I need to wear my graduation gown?
It’s entirely your choice. Gown portraits are a classic keepsake, but we can also do a second outfit for more casual portraits — both look stunning against Oxford’s architecture.
What if it rains?
We can always re-schedule the session for another day. Alternatively, we can use a large translucent umbrella that will look just gorgeous on the Oxford background.
Is it possible to include more/less than 5 people in the Cohort package?
Absolutely. The Cohort package is created for groups. The service is priced at £129 per person. The number of graduates can be amended upon a request. Just to bear in mind that the duration of the session might need to be adjusted accordingly.
