UCF Graduation Photo Packages


Nobody wants to spend graduation week thinking about money, which is exactly why this page exists. Read it once, know the number, go back to celebrating.


Here is what a UCF session costs, what comes with it, how long you are out there, and when to book so you are not elbowing somebody for a turn at the Pegasus seal.



Want to know where we actually shoot? That has its own page.


Hi, You Are Probably The Parent


That is usually how this works. The grad picks the spots and decides which friends make the cut. Whoever is paying handles the calendar and the invoice.


Both of you should know what you are getting. Neither of you should have to email me to find out the price.


UCF Knights Session, From $395


This is the Main Campus one, and it is what most people book.


90 to 120 minutes on campus. We hit the spots that make a photo unmistakably UCF, plus a couple that are not on everyone else’s list, so your gallery does not look like the twenty other grad galleries on your feed this month.


Here is what comes with it:


  • Confetti, and a bottle of champagne for the shot everybody wants
  • Up to three friends included, $25 for each extra one
  • High resolution files in an online gallery you can share with everybody
  • No cap on downloads. Grab a few, grab all of them, your call
  • In your hands within 3 weeks


That download thing is worth a second. Most photographers cap how many files you can pull down, or sell you the rest back in little bundles. I do not. You get the best photos from the session, edited properly, and what you do with them is none of my business.


Not A Knight? Still Got You. From $350


Plenty of people graduating in Orlando are not at UCF.


Same session, built around your school instead: Rollins, Valencia, Full Sail, Seminole State, or a high school senior who wants something better than the yearbook shot. Your campus, your colors, the places that actually meant something the last four years.


School not on the list? Ask me.

Book At Four To Six Weeks, Not Three


This is the one piece of advice on this page that will actually cost you if you skip it.


Spring grads, reach out in March. Fall grads, October. Four to six weeks before commencement is when you still get to pick your morning.


Weekday mornings are the good ones. Campus is emptier, the light is on your side, and you are not waiting behind four families to get a clean frame at the seal. The closer you get to commencement weekend, the more you are choosing from leftovers.


The five spots we actually walk are on the UCF graduation photo locations page.


Two Things Not In The Price


Travel outside the Orlando metro area may add a fee. Depends on distance and whether a hotel is involved. You get a real number before you book, not a surprise after.


Prints and albums are separate. Everything is orderable right from your gallery, and custom albums are their own thing if you want one.


En Inglés O En Español


Whichever is easier for your family. Just tell me when you book.

Questions People Actually Ask


How long does the UCF session take?


90 to 120 minutes on Main Campus. Enough time to move between spots without rushing and without anyone’s arm getting tired of holding a diploma.


Can my friends be in the photos?


Up to three are included, and each extra friend is $25. Bring them. They make the celebration shots better.


Do I get the digital files?


Yep. High resolution, in an online gallery, no cap on downloads. Prints and albums are there too if you want them.


When do I get my photos?


Within 3 weeks. I try to beat that and usually do, but I would rather give you a real number than a hopeful one.


Can we meet before the session?


Of course. If you or your parents want to talk it through first, just ask.


Should I bring props?


Bring them. A journal, a laptop, a stethoscope, whatever says what you just spent four years on. Props are what turn a nice portrait into a photo of a specific person.


Can I send you photos I like?


Please do. Pinterest, Instagram, a screenshot buried in your camera roll, whatever you have. It tells me what you are after way faster than talking about it will.


Let Us Pick A Morning


The sessions that go best are the ones booked with a month to spare, on a quiet weekday, by somebody who told me what they actually wanted out of it.


Send me your graduation date and I will tell you what is still open.
