A special request from Ava to commemorate her Master's in Museum Education from Tufts!

Now that the height of grad season has passed, I finally have more time to share some of the portraits I took this spring! Here are my favorites of Leah, at Boston University 🎓

Weather was not perfect by any means, but we certainly made up for it with all the flowers in bloom + a fun champagne shot at the end 🍾🌸

Grad photos for my friend and fellow photographer Sophia!

It’s always a special experience when I’m trusted to take another photographer’s portraits. Photographers carry their own instincts and preferences, and we spend so much time thinking about light, perspective, and storytelling. So when someone who understands the craft trusts me enough to take their photos, it’s a genuine privilege.

Thank you again @.sophieriviello! And congratulations! 🎓

Some of the best photo sessions are those where there’s mutual encouragement to try something new. That’s exactly why I loved this one with Alex! 

This grad session with Ricardo was primarily shot on film, but I also took a few photos on digital for good measure! Here are my favorites 🎓

When Ricardo reached out to me about grad photos, I just knew that working with him would be so fun and creatively fulfilling! He wanted his photo session captured on a full roll of 35mm (as opposed to just the handful of frames I offer as an “add-on”). I was instantly on board, obviously 🫡

Portraits of the lovely @meryledavis, who graduated from @harvardextension this spring 🎓♥️

I’m grateful to be at a point in my career where my portfolio attracts people who want to create something unique, or just confidently be themselves. James was one of those people ❤️🎓 

I didn’t realize until after we’d wrapped up our shoot, but I actually photographed James once before at @vrocc’s Viva Mexico Festival in 2023! I love “small world” moments like this, and it only made this collaboration that much more special :) 

Felicidades @jgxe_ 🥳 

One of the great honors of my profession is helping my friends commemorate their accomplishments 💙

Bhumika and I met a little over a year ago in somewhat formal circumstances. We exchanged advice and thoughts on concert photography and the media industry in general, but we quickly became closer friends outside of photography (even sharing a spontaneous Twenty One Pilots experience)! 

I admire how hard Bhumika works to improve her craft — whether it’s trying a new photo technique at a live show or dedicating herself to her law school studies. And even with a lot on her plate, she always manages to make time for the people in her life, which I appreciate so much <3 

@lensofbhumika, thank you for having me photograph this milestone for you and your family. I know you’re gonna go far 🎓⚖️🫶🏽 (you already have!) 

Being an immigrant myself, I know how important it is to honor your roots, so it means the world to me when my clients share their stories and I’m able to make their families feel comfortable and seen ❤️

Including family and friends in your grad session makes the experience even more special. This isn’t just a quick photoshoot — it’s an opportunity to honor the people who’ve made sacrifices and supported you along the way. I’m grateful I can document that kind of love and connection. This morning with Katherine’s family was a perfect example of that 🫶🏽

My favorite photos from Lauren’s grad shoot! It’s fun when I get to work with a different university color palette. New England Law’s purple gowns contrast beautifully with the lush greens of the Public Garden 💜🌳

A little green line moment with Antonella at her @northeastern grad shoot this month 🚉

My favorite portraits from Kati’s session earlier this month!

Most of the grad shoots I do are on college campuses, so it’s nice when I get to switch it up at the Public Garden every once in a while :) especially with this weather! ☀️

Another Northeastern shoot! This one was a lot of fun 🍻 w/ Emma and Ragan :)

Love how colorful these grad photos turned out! 🌈

Lilyana graduated from Northeastern’s Accelerated Nursing Program, and we had the chance to do this shoot right before campus got busy for commencement. A little less than a quarter of the graduates I work with every spring are from Northeastern, but it’s definitely one of my favorite campuses to work at! Especially this time of year :)

Congratulations, @lilyanaibanez, and best of luck with the next chapter!
