Now, five years later, they wish to celebrate that significant achievement with a photoshoot, despite concerns about its appropriateness. This situation raises an intriguing question: Is it ever too late to document and honor personal milestones? Share your insights and guidance on this unique journey of self-celebration and artistic expression.

Hi all,

When I graduated college (5 years ago) I was incredibly broke, had zero family support (no one attended, brought coworkers as decoy parents), and the only photos I got were on somebody’s phone with my now ex boyfriend.

I had dreamed of those classic grad pics, but they were too expensive. I love getting to take them for others but I still find myself wishing I had been able to do that for myself and celebrate that accomplishment that frankly, was incredibly hard for me. For context I didnt really get senior pics in high school either so I think I feel like I just really missed some silly milestones.

Would it be weird to book / take those photos now five years on? I don’t see myself ever going back to school for another degree, so the opportunity will never reappear.
