Graduation || Maya

Maya and I hadn't met before taking these photos, but I know you won't believe it after seeing how comfortable she looks in front of the camera. Maya's gorgeous outfit and jewelry sparkles in the golden hour sun and made these law school graduation portraits more than just a cap and gown.

Graduation || Henna

After an abrupt end to our law school experience, the bar exam, and almost a year of practice, it was great to see Henna again! As a double bear, this return to campus was quite sentimental for her, but I am so glad that I was able to help her capture the magic of Berkeley in a way that she could take back with her to New York. Something about this overcast day lent the creamiest colors and softest lighting that make Henna’s striking feature POP. I can’t wait to see how the proud parents react to these mementos!

Graduation || Clarissa & Manny

Come to law school for a degree, leave with a sweetheart? Yeah, I know what it’s like. This was primarily Clarissa’s shoot with a few photos of Manny, but I could not help myself and had to go overboard with the couple photos. Clarissa’s pink and seafoam outfits paired with Manny’s brightly colored stole made these photos pop! It was also adorable to see my friends so enamorados. Congratulations y’all!

Graduation || Katy

I met Katy at Admitted Students Weekend before she even started this law school journey. I also served as Co-President of the La Raza Law Students Association during her first year and she took over the position from me the next year. So special to watch her celebrate this huge accomplishment!

Graduation || Hannah

This session with Hannah was a great way to get in the graduation season groove. I had so much fun, I almost forgot that I was “working.” Hannah’s bubbly, fun personality shines through these photos. And anytime someone is down to pose on a lounge chair for graduation photos, you know it’s going to be a good time.

Graduation || Niki

Niki was the last session I was able to squeeze in before going to So Cal. Because of a rain warning at our original time, we had to reschedule, but we made it. Niki, a photographer herself, came prepared. She had tons of reference photos, location ideas, and poses at the ready. I love how these came out all blue skies and big smiles!
