It was such a joy working with Amanda, a recent master’s graduate from Duke University! We had a blast capturing photos around Duke Chapel, and one of the things I loved about working with her was her enthusiasm and cheerful nature. We did a lot of portraits as well as fun jumping photos and tossing-the-cap photos!

She also incorporated a Porg plush in her shoot. I learned that the Porgs were created because when filming The Last Jedi, they couldn’t remove the puffins that were on the island. So instead of editing the puffins out, they turned them into Porgs! For her, the Porgs symbolized the idea of making something great out of a bad situation. After being in a career rut, it led her to nurture her passion for health IT and brought her to Duke! I thought that was such a beautiful story, and loved how she incorporate the Porg into her shoot :)

See more amazing highlights from this wonderful graduation session below! Congrats again, Amanda, and thank you for entrusting me to capture this special season of life for you!

I had the honor of capturing senior photos for Sydney, a recent college grad from Duke University! We clicked right away and I truly had SO much fun working with her. She was incredibly down-to-earth and friendly, and wanted to capture the joy and happiness of graduating. I also learned she was a first-gen student, and capturing this moment in time was incredibly special to her and her family. I felt so honored to be able to document this significant accomplishment for her! I was also excited to learn that she’ll be working in Seattle starting this summer (that’s my hometown!). Congratulations again, Sydney! You have such a bright future ahead of you and I know you are going to do amazing things!

I had the honor of working with these wonderful seniors from Duke University recently! I loved learning that Reanna and Dania became fast friends during their freshman year of college, and have been great friends ever since that time. They wanted to commemorate their time at Duke, and we captured their senior photos around the iconic Duke Chapel and Chapel Drive. This is truly an amazing class of graduates as they had to face most of their college years during the covid pandemic. Big congrats again to these ladies! You have so much to be proud of, and I wish you all the best in your endeavors!
