Graduation photos · Miami

In short

Graduation photos in Miami starts at $295: 60 min on location with a photographer who works in Miami, and 30 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 5 business days.

Why choose Graduation photos in Miami?

Graduation photos in Miami are a one-hour session at two campus locations with 30 retouched photographs, priced from $295. The University of Miami is a private campus, so the open lawns around Lake Osceola and the buildings that frame them follow different rules: the grounds are where a cap-and-gown walk happens, while the interiors sit behind approval offices. A Miami graduation shoot is therefore routed outdoors first, with any indoor frame arranged before the date rather than attempted on it.

Worth knowing about Miami

At the University of Miami, professional photography in the Student Center Complex needs prior approval from the SCC Reservations Office and Student Affairs Communications and Marketing, and the Otto G. Richter Library requires a written request at least three business days ahead and accepts only shoots tied to the library’s own programs. A cap-and-gown portrait among the Richter stacks is therefore not available, and graduation sessions here stay on the outdoor grounds.

FAQ — Graduation photos in Miami

Can graduation photos be taken inside the University of Miami library?

Not as a personal session. The University of Miami’s Otto G. Richter Library requires written permission at least three business days ahead, schedules shoots only Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. with a library escort, and accommodates only requests related to the library’s programs, materials or resources.

Can University of Miami logos appear in graduation photos?

A graduate wearing University of Miami regalia on campus is the point of a graduation photo. What the University of Miami Student Center Complex restricts is outside use of its logos and seals without authorization, so Miami graduation galleries are delivered for personal use under the print release rather than for any commercial promotion.
