[ G ] — Graduation

Grad photos worth the degree

Graduation sessions across D.C., Maryland and Virginia — campus, city or studio. Shot with intent, graded by hand, delivered in a gallery your whole family can open.

You worked years for this. Your grad photos shouldn't look like everyone else's — mine are directed like editorial shoots: real posing guidance, locations that mean something to you, and colour work that makes gowns, stoles and skin look the way they deserve.

I photograph HBCU and DMV graduations every season — Howard's campus, the monuments, Baltimore, or a clean studio look. Sessions run Thursday to Saturday evenings, when the light is best anyway.

Every session ends in a private online gallery: pick your favourites, share a link with family, and order prints or a photo book straight from it.

I got my pictures back quickly, and the final gallery exceeded my expectations. I loved having the…

My graduation pictures with Tobi came out exactly how I imagined, and I felt extremely comfortable the entire photoshoot.

Good to know

When should I book my graduation session?

Three to four weeks before you want the photos in hand. Cap-and-gown season fills the calendar fast — Thursday–Saturday evening slots go first.

Can we shoot on campus?

Yes — campus, the monuments, a city spot that matters to you, or a studio setup. Multi-location sessions are what the Extended session is for.

How many outfits can I bring?

Mini fits one look; Signature up to two (cap-and-gown plus a personal look is the classic combo); Extended gives room for three.

How do I get my photos?

A private online gallery with your own access code. You pick favourites, family can view with a share link, and full-resolution downloads unlock on delivery.
