Graduation season is almost here, and for Richmond families, that means the countdown to valedictory ceremonies, prom, and the final days of high school has officially begun.

To celebrate the Class of 2026, I’m offering Valedictory Cap + Gown Mini Sessions at McMath Secondary School on Saturday, June 6th before the June 10th valedictory ceremony.

Prom day moves fast.

There’s a schedule to follow, people everywhere, and photos often become an afterthought. Most grads only get a few quick shots before heading out the door.

A grad dress session gives you something completely different.

You get to wear the dress again.
Move in it.
Feel confident in it.

No pressure. No distractions.

Grad photos do not always have to mean formal dresses and perfectly posed portraits. Sometimes the most meaningful photos come from simply showing up as yourself.

He’s grown taller. Quieter, maybe. Stronger in ways that don’t always show. Now, he's graduating and moving into whatever comes next. But before that happens, this moment matters. It deserves to be seen and remembered. That’s what the Grad Experience is for.
