Deluxe Portrait Sessions
for recent Boulder grads – summer 2026
NEW: The Deluxe Session
Find out more.
You probably already did the cap and gown thing.
Or maybe you skipped it. Either way, this is different.
It’s about going back and getting something that actually feels like your time here in Boulder.
Why now?
Boulder’s finally quiet. No crowds, no chaos, no trying to squeeze a shoot in between a hundred other people doing the same thing. You can actually go back to your spots and just exist in them for a minute. That’s what it’s all about.
What this is
This is a more intentional session.
Think:
Multiple locations (your spots, not just the obvious ones)
No time limit, no pressure
Outfit changes if you want
Just you
What we shoot
Whatever actually mattered to you. Your house. Your street. The places you went all the time. The random in-between stuff. It doesn’t need to be deep or serious either, just something that reflects you.
Who it’s for
You liked your grad photos but want something more personal
You didn’t love your grad photos
You never took any at all
You just want something that actually feels like you
What you get
Not just “proof you graduated,” but something that feels like that time of your life.
Booking June 1st - August 5th
I’m only taking a limited number of these while Boulder’s still quiet. This is kind of the window for it.

Tell your story.
No clock · Unlimited locations · All quality images delivered
Concept-driven with thoughtful creative direction throughout.
The Deluxe Session is the full Drew Hersch Photography experience, designed for grads who want images that feel personal, elevated, and unmistakably Boulder.
There’s no pressure to go big, either.
With flexible pacing and unlimited locations, we can follow the story that matters most.
What made Boulder special for you? Let’s capture it.
However your Boulder story looks, we’ll photograph it with intention.
Every strong image we capture is fully edited and delivered. If it’s good, it’s edited. If it’s edited, it’s yours. Guide me through your vision, and I’ll handle the color, tone, and retouching with intention, refining each photo until it feels right.
Why people choose the Deluxe Session:
• No restrictions on creativity or final image count
• Space to explore, collaborate, and try something different
• Multiple moods, outfits, and locations
• Editorial, cinematic, lifestyle, and candid moments
• Images that feel personal, polished, and unmistakably you
This is the session where we slow down, get intentional, and create graduation photos that feel elevated, without ever feeling forced.
Let’s Talk Logistics
A few practical details to keep everything smooth and stress-free.
Payment
A 50% deposit is due at booking to secure your session, paid via Venmo. The remaining balance is due once your final, edited images are delivered, also via Venmo.
Editing
Editing is a hands-on, intentional process for me. Each image is individually reviewed and refined for color, skin tone, and overall polish. While some photographers batch-edit for speed, I prioritize consistency and quality so your photos hold up beautifully over time.
Timing & Light
Most sessions take place around 5:30pm, when the light actually feels like Boulder. Exact start times may shift depending on lighting conditions, alternate creative approaches, or custom availability. We’ll dial this in together.
Rescheduling & Flexibility
If something unexpected comes up, just reach out as soon as you can. Life happens — I’m reasonable and always happy to talk through options when possible.
Usage Rights
Your photos are yours to use however you’d like - Instagram, LinkedIn, graduation announcements, framed on your wall, whatever feels right. I may also share a few favorites for my portfolio unless you ask otherwise.
