Graduation
FAQ
How do I book?
Fill out the contact form or email me at michelleliphoto@gmail.com. I will try to get back to you within 48-72 hours. A 50% non-refundable retainer is required to reserve a booking.
Can I create a customized package?
Yes, of course! Just email me with your specific needs. I am happy to photograph portraits, events, weddings, and more outside of the listed packages.
When is the best time for photos?
The best lighting happens around sunset—often called golden hour—when everything looks soft and glowing. Depending on the season and weather, this can fall anywhere between 4 PM and 9 PM. On cloudy days, almost any time of day works well. For sunny days between March and June or August to September, 6–8 PM is ideal. During peak summer (June to August), I recommend booking between 7–9 PM for the best light.
Do you offer graduation photoshoots outside of the Bay Area and Seattle colleges?
Yes! I frequently take graduation photos at UC Berkeley, University of San Francisco, San Jose State University, and Duke University, University of Washington, etc. but would love to take photos at your campus! Travel fees may apply depending on the location. Feel free to email me for more details—I’d love to hear about your plans.
