As a photographer who often visits NIU in DeKalb, Northern Illinois University (NIU) is the perfect backdrop for NIU graduates to have their graduation photos, cap and gown, and head shot photos taken! It’s great to be able to incorporate such a meaningful and beautiful location for these college graduates!
So grab your cap and gown and anything else you’d like to personalize these fun sessions. You can include friends, family, and anything else that is meaningful to you as you celebrate this incredible achievement.
And the backdrop of NIU is not only personal for you as a graduate, it’s also full of variety, beautiful landscaping, and amazing architecture. We’ll walk, talk, and find your favorite spots as we document this important milestone! These sessions are best scheduled apart from the graduation date to avoid crowds and congestion. We’ll select a date and time that will showcase you and the awesome NIU campus as well.
Things to bring for a NIU graduation photography session include water, your ironed and lint rolled gown, your lint rolled cap and tassle, and any other tassles or honors that you have received. We’ll walk a decent amount, so backup comfortable shoes are always a good idea. Your outfits should be hung on hangers and ready to go so you can change quickly, too! If you would like professional hair and or makeup, I can recommend nearby places as well.
If you have favorites spots in DeKalb or Sycamore, make sure to mention that to me as we plan your session, too!
