Julia’s session was the perfect way to celebrate the end of a chapter and the start of something so exciting! I’m still swooning over all the gorgeous light, sweet moments, and Clemson spirit that filled every frame. This session was truly one for the books!

Julia opted for my Elite Grad Portrait Package, which meant we had a full two hours together to explore campus and create something magical. I absolutely love when seniors choose this experience because we get to slow down, take our time with each location and outfit, and make sure everything is completely you from start to finish.

We started our session at Sikes Hall, where the classic white columns make for such timeless grad photos. Julia showed up with the biggest smile, a perfect white dress, and the kind of calm confidence that photographers dream of. From there, we made our way to the Business Building for some clean, modern shots before heading over to Tillman Hall—a must for any Clemson grad.

Then came one of my favorite hidden gems: the Carillon Bell. I love when seniors want to capture this part of campus—it’s tucked away, peaceful, and always gives off a little fairytale energy when the branches arch over the top of the frame. Next, we made our way down TigerWalk, where Julia rocked her Clemson purple with pride. And of course, we had to end at the stadium… because what’s a Clemson grad session without photos in front of Death Valley?

At the stadium, Julia brought along the perfect bottle of champagne to celebrate the moment. She popped it right next to the Tiger Statue, and it was the most joyful moment. The light was golden, the bubbles flew everywhere, and Julia’s reaction was absolutely priceless. It’s one of those moments I know will be such a core memory of her time at Clemson and I feel so lucky to have captured it!

One of the best parts of offering extended sessions like this is being able to slow down, explore, and capture moments that feel genuine, joyful, and true to you. We had time for quick touch-ups, outfit changes, and even a few silly in-between moments that ended up being some of the best photos!

Julia, thank you so much for choosing me as your Clemson senior photographer and trusting me to document this exciting season of your life. You brought so much warmth, grace, and energy to your session, and I loved getting to walk around campus and celebrate with you. I know the best is yet to come, and I’ll be cheering you on always!
