Celebrating Emma's Graduation with a Special Portrait Session

With graduation season in full swing, I wanted to share one of my favorite portrait sessions with you! Meet Emma, a graduate from the University of Michigan. Emma reached out to me with a simple but perfect request—she wanted a few photos taken at the iconic Law Quad on campus. As you can imagine, this spot gets pretty busy around graduation time, with lots of families and grads taking turns for their photos.

So, we started by capturing some shots at the more popular areas, but then decided to mix things up a bit. We wandered through some quieter corners of the campus, where we could enjoy a little more privacy and avoid the crowds. It gave us the chance to explore some less-traveled spots that really let Emma shine.

I absolutely love how these photos turned out—there’s something about the simplicity and sophistication of them that really captures the moment. Plus, the film-like, nostalgic vibe was brought to life thanks to my trusty Fujifilm. And let’s not forget her outfit—it was perfect for the occasion and fit her relaxed and fun personality.

It was such an honor to help Emma commemorate this milestone in a way she could share with her friends, family, and followers. Graduation is such a big deal, and I’m so happy I could be a small part of preserving these memories for her.
