My favorites from Mary’s @harvardlaw grad/family shoot! 🎓

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!

This was an April weekend of many postponed sessions (thanks Boston weather :/). But thankfully Lillian had access to her lab at HMS, and the wind settled down enough for some outdoor portraits at the end ☺️

Today I’m looking back on this super fun shoot with Morgan at @northeastern — from three years ago this week ☺️✨

As I prepare for this year’s grad season, I’ve been looking back at my past shoots — including this one with Miu at Harvard University, from four years ago! One of my favorite film stocks is Portra 400, which also inspired me while editing Miu’s portraits (shot digitally).

COLLEGE GRADUATES — the 2025 grad photos season is finally here! 🎓

You’ll only live through this moment once, so now’s the perfect time to invest in quality portraits that reflect the joy and honor that comes with this achievement!

I’m always looking for ways to break the mold, while embracing the qualities that make my work timeless. The goal is for my clients to feel comfortable and treasure the moments we documented. If you prefer quality over quantity, and creating together rather than just “getting photos done,” then I may be the perfect photographer for you ✨

A handful of people are already in my books for April and May, so please reach out as soon as possible if you have your heart set on working together! My calendar fills up quite fast by the time late April rolls around.

So excited to work with you all! 🥰📷

Gabriella graduated from Harvard with her Master’s in History of Art and Architecture in 2022 and is currently working on her PhD dissertation. I’ll never get used to how cool it is to meet all kinds of graduates and hear about their passions — this shoot was no exception!
