How to Plan Your Grad Session with Carla Lehman Photography
Graduation is a moment worth celebrating, and planning your grad photography session should be exciting, not overwhelming. At Carla Lehman Photography, I make the process seamless and fun, so you can enjoy every step of the journey. Here’s what to expect when you plan your grad session with me, from the initial consultation to the final delivery of your stunning images.
Step 1: Pre-Session Consultation—Let’s Make It Personal
Every great session starts with a conversation. During our pre-session consultation, we’ll discuss:
Your vision: What’s your style? Do you have a specific theme, location, or vibe in mind?
Your story: Tell me about your passions, hobbies, and what makes you unique.
Wardrobe and props: Need ideas for outfits or items to bring? I’ll guide you on how to showcase your personality.
This is your time to shine, and I’ll help you craft a session that feels authentically you. Whether it’s incorporating your love for music, horses, or the great outdoors, the goal is to tell your story through every image.
As an Alberta Graduation Specialist, I travel the province, and beyond to create grad stories for seniors.
Step 2: Booking Made Simple
Once we’ve planned your vision, it’s time to secure your session. Booking is easy:
Choose your preferred date and time.
Pay the session retainer fee to hold your spot.
Start counting down to your amazing session day!
Step 3: Preparing for Your Session
After booking, I’ll send you a detailed guide to help you prepare. This includes:
Grad Photos should include your hobbies
Wardrobe tips: Ideas on color schemes, styles, and how to layer for the perfect look.
Location details: Whether we’re shooting in the Alberta countryside, at a rustic barn, or with my horses, I’ll provide all the info you need.
What to bring: From props to personal items that reflect your personality, I’ll guide you on how to make your session unique.
Step 4: Collections, Pricing, and No Surprises
I believe in transparency when it comes to pricing. That’s why my collections work as a credit toward your prints and products. You’ll know exactly what you’re getting, and there are no hidden fees. Plus, you’ll receive the digital files of the images you choose for your prints and products—a perfect way to have the best of both worlds.

Step 5: Session Day—Your Time to Shine!
The big day is here, and it’s all about you! Whether we’re capturing candid moments with your favorite horse or creating dramatic portraits with a guitar under Alberta’s golden sun, I’ll guide you every step of the way. Sessions are relaxed, fun, and designed to make you feel confident and celebrated.
Step 6: Viewing and Ordering Your Images
After your session, we’ll schedule a viewing appointment where you’ll see your images for the first time. This is when the magic happens! Together, we’ll:
Go through your photos and select your favorites.
Choose your products, including prints, albums, and wall art.
Apply your collection credit toward your chosen items.
You’ll leave with artwork that celebrates this milestone and digital files of your chosen images for keepsakes and sharing.
