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.
-
Before our session I will send out invoices + contracts to be completed before shoot time. This can be completed by check or online payment. I also send out a comprehensive guide with all the details and logistics. I also can do payment plans and multiple payment options.

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!

“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.
the ultimate graduate experience
