Graduate with your friends.
Looking back, I wish I had a group photograph with my own college friends. I'd love to make that photograph for you.
Let's plan portraits of your friends together, along with individual photographs of each of you. Share your school, group size, and preferred dates. Group sessions are quoted separately.
Plan a Friends Session
Your college years, your places.
At UCSB, that might mean Henley Gate, a favorite campus spot, or the beach. At UCLA, it could be Royce Hall, Janss Steps, or a place that was part of your everyday life.
We'll choose a manageable route that fits the light, your interests, and your collection. Graduating from another college? Tell me where you have in mind.
