University of Florida & UNF Graduation Photographer
A Milestone worth Celebrating
Graduating is more than a ceremony. It's years of hard work, late nights, growth, and dedication coming full circle. Whether you're finishing college, or stepping into your next chapter, this milestone deserves to be documented in a way that feels personal and meaningful. Graduation Photogs are a celebration of everything you've accomplished and a reminder of who you are in this moment before life shifts again.
I primarily photograph graduated from the university of Florida and the University of North Florida, capturing sessions across both campuses in Gainesville and Jacksonville. However, I happily welcome graduates from other universities as well. No matter where you're earning your degree, your acheivment deserves to be celebrated and preserved.
University of Florida
graduation sessions
As a graduation photographer serving Gainesville, I specialize in photographing graduates at the University of Florida. University of Florida graduation sessions often being at Gator walk and continue to iconic campus landmarks like the Bull Gator statue, the University of Florida arch, and inside the stadium itself. Most UF graduates choose classic cap and gown portraits along with a second outfit that reflects their personality, major, or campus involvement. Whether you're booking an individual session or planning a group graduation session with fellow Gators, my goal is to create University of Florida graduation photos that feel polished, celebratory, and true to your acheivement,
University of North Florida graduation sessions
I photograph graduation sessions for college graduates at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville. University of North Florida graduation sessions often highlight recognizable campus spots such as the UNF Garden, the Osprey Fountain, and the UNF sign. Most UNF graduates incorporate cap and gown portraits along with a second outfit that showcases their accomplishments or campus involvement. Whether you're celebrating individually or organizing a group graduation session, each University of North Florida graduation session is designed to create images that capture your success and your time as an Osprey.

When should I book my grad session?
Graduation season books up quickly, especially in the spring. I recommend reaching out and securing your date as soon as you can. Spring Graduation is the busiest time of year, and those dates fill the fastest. Booking early ensures you get the timeframe that works best for your schedule.
What should I wear to my grad session?
I always recommend bringing at least one classic and sophisticated outfit. This gives your gallery a timeless feel. From there, you can add a spirited look that represents your school pride, academic achievements, athletics, or organizations you've been a part of. Cap and gown photos are always encouraged, and I'm happy to help guide outfit choices so everything feels cohesive.
