Cap & Gown Session on the Fishing Pier, Winneconne, Wisconsin

Graduation season is officially here, and what better way to celebrate than with a relaxed Cap & Gown session that captures the excitement, pride, and personality of the moment?

I recently had the joy of photographing Ian and Claire, an adorable couple who are both celebrating major milestones.

Ian is graduating from Winneconne High School this weekend, and Claire just graduated earlier this week from Berlin High School. Instead of scrambling to get the “perfect” photo on graduation day, they chose to schedule a session ahead of time, and the results were so worth it.

We met at the fishing pier in Winneconne, a spot that added the perfect blend of charm and serenity to their session. The soft evening light, lake backdrop, and genuine connection between these two made for a beautiful gallery that tells their graduation story in a meaningful, stress-free way.

Cap and Gown sessions are a great way to slow down, soak in the moment, and celebrate your accomplishment without the chaos of a busy graduation day.

Whether you’re graduating solo or want to capture memories with your favorite person, a pre-graduation session gives you the time and space to make it personal.
