Graduation Photoshoots
I shoot both film and digital for grad photos at UNC, Duke, NC State, or anywhere else in the Triangle! Most of the photos you see in my Graduation portfolio are shot on film. I find that they feel intangible and soft, kind of like a memory; though I try to edit my digital photos so they have a similar look! My goal with grad photos is to make them feel the way your time in college felt for you: a personalized, fun, and reflective experience.
I'm able to deliver around 75 edited photos within a week. You'll receive the photos via an online gallery that you can share, download, and order prints from. To request a quote, pick a time slot at the link below. You'll fill out a brief questionnaire about what you're looking for, and I'll email you a quote. Filling out an interest form does not mean you have to commit, just a way for me to hold your spot while we talk through logistics. Slots become officially yours after a $50 deposit per person is paid—more info on that in the email you'll receive. There is a one week window to respond to my email before your slot is re-opened.
Feel free to reach out with any questions via email at crystal@crystalsilvaphoto.com.
FAQ
When will I receive my photos?
You should receive your photos about a week after our session via an online gallery that you can share, download, and make prints from!
How many locations and outfit changes can I have?
As many as you'd like! More locations will lead to a higher cost as it will take us more time. I try to time our arrival at certain campus hotspots as efficiently as possible.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes! Since I am flying back from NYC for grad photo season, I'm requiring a deposit this year to respect my limited time and travel costs. The $50 deposit is subtracted from your total fee. However, if there is a reason why you can't pay it, please let me know and I'll waive it! The deposit is refundable up to a week before your shoot, then it becomes non-refundable if you need to cancel.
How many pictures will I receive?
You can expect to receive around 75 photos, give or take. If you choose film, know that you will probably receive 25 photos from the roll.
Are your prices flexible?
Yes! I try to make my prices fair for my equipment, travel, experience, and editing time, however I completely understand that it's not always accessible to everyone. Please let me know if you need a reduced cost and we can figure something out!
What's the benefit of adding on film?
I find that film has a dreamy and memory-like feel to it. Definitely not a necessity, just a nice and artful touch, and my medium of preference!
