A session built around your graduation

Ryan Taylor, Orange County graduation photographer

Hi, I’m Ryan.

I’m an Irvine-based photographer who enjoys creating portraits that feel natural and personal. For graduation sessions, I combine classic cap-and-gown photos with more relaxed portraits, with light direction throughout so you can enjoy the experience rather than worry about what to do in front of the camera.

I’ll help plan the location and timing, and I reply to every inquiry personally within one business day.

Common questions

Where are the best graduation photo spots in Orange County?

Depends on the school — campus locations, downtown settings, and the coast all work well. We'll pick together based on what feels like you.

How soon before graduation should we book?

3–4 weeks out is ideal, especially in spring when graduation season books up fast. Rush turnaround is available if you're closer to a deadline.

Can we do multiple outfit changes?

Yes — cap-and-gown plus one casual look is included, and additional changes can be added.
