Tucson Graduation Photographer

Name: Chansley Photo
Price range: $$

If you are looking for a professional Tucson Graduation Photographer, you found him! I have been in business since 2007 and have been taking photos of college grads ever since. Most of my clients attend the University of Arizona. The Spring semester is definitely the busiest for me, so I would suggest booking early. I start to get calls in early March and it continues until school gets out. I also photograph weddings, events, school photos and sports, so those can cut into my schedule as well. The Fall semester isn’t nearly as busy with grad photos. It’s still good to book your professional Tucson Graduation Photographer early.

What kind of packages do you have?

I offer 3 basic packages, but can customize something for you as well. For someone only looking for a couple photos, I offer a 30 minute mini session for $275 + tax. This mini session is only available when booked directly before or after an already scheduled session. The average grad that hires me goes with the 60 minute package for $375 + tax. This allows a little more time to get a variety of photos. You can also do a quick outfit change if you would like. Another popular package is my 90 minute package for $525 + tax. This allows for multiple outfit changes and multiple locations around campus. Highly recommended if you have 5 or more people in your group or outfit changes.

If you have a friend or a group you would like to take photos with, I don’t charge anything extra. I do recommend the 90 minutes session if it is 5 or more people so everyone has time to get their portraits taken. I can also do more time if needed. All packages include the edited high-resolution digital copies of all the photos. I love sororities, fraternities, clubs and teammates! You are more than welcome to split the cost of the session with your group.

Where do you take the grad photos at?

I always start our grad portrait session at Old Main. Most of out time is spent here and then we can venture off to other parts of campus. Some popular areas on campus include at the University of Arizona Mall, Forbes building, outside Centennial Hall, the Orange Grove, Student Union, Administration building, Arizona Stadium, McKale Center, Dirtbags, and the Eller College of Management. Some of these places do require a bit of a walk. Be sure to budget that into your time and bring shoes you can easily walk in.

Props are always a fun thing to add to your photos. I regularly see students bring champagne bottles, balloons, cap/gown, signs, confetti (please bring something to clean up afterwards), sporting equipment/jerseys (athletes) and block letters (sororities). With all this stuff and possibly an additional outfit, I highly recommend bringing a friend to carry your stuff. They can also watch over it during our session.
