Grads, let’s do this.

It’s time to get excited. All the years of hard work and many ups and downs have led you to this moment, graduation. I would be so honored to help celebrate and honor this monumental time in your life. By booking with me, you are investing in an unforgettable graduation experience from start to finish.

I’ve spent years perfecting my craft to provide you with the best experience possible. I pride myself on my attention to detail (no sideways caps) and efficiency in getting you as many beautiful photos as possible that you will cherish forever. Over the last seven years, I have mastered posing for an authentic, fun, but also classic style.

I’ve helped tell the stories of over 600 Boise State graduates; now it’s time to help write yours.

Questions? I have answers.

  • I offer a two to three-day turnaround via an online album for all my grads. Just in time to get orders placed for announcements before graduation!

  • Isn’t this the age old question! I like to say wear whatever makes you feel the most comfortable and the most you. I do have a comprehensive client guide that you will get upon booking with recommendations on where to shop and what colors look best along with endless outfit inspiration.

  • It is absolutely normal to be nervous. But the amount of times we’re halfway through sessions and I hear something along the lines of… “wow, this isn’t nearly as painful as my high school photos!” would shock you. I work with you guide you through a series of poses I have spent years mastering.

  • $50 is required to secure your date, this is a non-refundable retainer payment. Then, the remainder payment is due one week from your session!

  • Boise State has begun selling their cap, gown and other regalia year-round. Take a trip to the Bronco shop if you have any questions or order online. The total cost is around $70 - $90. Pro tip: choose the correct cap size and don’t forget to STEAM (not iron) your gown and stole!

  • Sunrise is less crowded in the Spring, but the afternoon is a little warmer. It depends, and both provide beautiful glowy lighting!

“I had the pleasure of having Dixie take my graduation pictures and I couldn’t of picked a better photographer!! She is AMAZING and so fun to be around. She was so helpful with poses and hitting all the right spots on campus! My photos came out beautiful and I even got them delivered on the same day. I highly recommend and would hire her again :))”

Abi says…

“I absolutely hate taking photos but Dixie made it an 11/10 experience! She was so helpful in how to pose, choosing different locations, and making each shoot unique to the person! I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to take my grad pics!”

My love for graduates:

I started my graduate business back in 2017 as a freshman in college for sorority sisters. Word of mouth quickly spread and I found a new passion and potential for photographing college seniors. And now after five years, I can proudly say I have shot nearly 600 college graduate sessions! For many, this is such a pivotal time in your life and I’m here to capture these memories in your true essence. By booking a session with me, I am here to give you a worthwhile experience through and through.

I’ve quite literally seen it all; 30 mph winds, champagne accidents, dress malfunctions, etc. I am well prepared to give you the ultimate graduation photo experience, no previous modeling is required! That’s where I come in to tell you what to do with your hands ;) I’m here to make this session easy and to give you images that you can look back on and remember this pivotal time in your life.

Graduate sessions are so special to me because I get to hear your Boise State story, your big plans, and even your lack thereof.
