2022 Year In Review

I have been creating grad photos since 2009 and they are my favorite to create. I get so much joy meeting so many exciting and interesting graduates who have some amazing ideas on how to celebrate their graduation.

Scroll down to explore my images and locations from the 2022 #GradPhotoSzn then tap here to schedule your Grad Photo Session.

Let's Celebrate

Champagne makes a great addition to any grad session. I recommend going with the least expensive bottles like Andre and always bring two.

Global Gator Statue

This is a hidden gem on campus and it's located right within the College of Business.

Bull Gator Statues

There are two great Bull Gator statues located on campus. One right next to Gate 18 of the football stadium and another by Gator Walk outside the north side of the stadium near the F-Club.

Bring your cords for unique and fun shots.

Mucozo Tunnel

The Mucozo Tunnel is a historic tunnel with beautiful stone architecture and lighting. It is located near Sledd and Fletcher residence halls within the Murphree Area on-campus.

The UF Arch

This has become one of the most requested locations for my grad photo sessions. Located on the corner of 13th Street and Museum Road next to the College of Business, the late afternoons and early mornings are the best time to visit.

Gator Walk

This is a classic location. Depending on the time of year, this location that has tons of Gator feel. It can get busy especially closer to graduation so keep that in mind when booking.

This is a great place to use champagne or bring a group of friends.

Plaza of the Americas

This is a great location found right in the middle of the main campus. There are so many locations to shoot her from in front of the library to all the flowery rest spots.

The main attraction here is the brickway covered with beautiful oak trees and Spanish moss. Either side works for photos too!

This is the walkway down the middle of the Plaza of Americas. The UF team does a great job keeping the flowers fresh.

The Football Stadium

The inside of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, where the Gators play football, is very iconic. It is the second most requested area for grad photos.

When it is available to the public, we can create some great images.

Field access is limited year round but there are a few times when the Florida Gators allow UF students to take photos: normally in the Spring semester.
