Since COVID-19 happened, graduation itself has been a bit of a whirlwind for 2020 graduates. These JMU seniors did graduate this past May, however their actual graduation has been postponed till August 7-8. Graduation sessions usually take place in Late March and all of April, however because of the latest pandemic, most people have waited till it was safer to do so.

These four ladies were roommates while they studied at JMU and decided to their grad pics together. We decided to start their grad session at 7:30am for that cooler June weather and less people would be outside. We got some amazing shots of these awesome grads, celebrating the four years they put into college.

I had the awesome opportunity to photograph James Madison University’s Mozaic Dance Team on November 15th, 2019. This talented group of people were great models for our 2 hour session and we got some amazing photos of these dancers. Mozaic went on to compete at Prelude Dance Competition in Richmond the next day, and placed 2nd place! Shout out to this wonderful group of people.

I recently did a photo shoot with my beautiful roommate, Jolie. Since the flowers are finally blooming in Harrisonburg, we decided to take advantage of the warm weather and beautiful scenery. I’ve got a lot of questions of where this photo shoot was taken at, for example: “Where you on the quad?” or “Where you at the arboretum?” But the real answer is this: I was driving along the side of the road where I noticed all these trees in bloom with wonderful white flowers, I knew that would be a perfect scene. So Jolie and I drove over to this lot that is literally on the side of Reservoir St. The simplest places are usually the best places to shoot at! Take a risk, find a spot that speaks to you! Here are the amazing photos from our portrait session:

After planning a trip to Charlottesville, VA with my friend, Gabby, we also decided to explore the UVA grounds to do a photoshoot. The Rotunda is a well known icon for the University of Virginia campus, so naturally we had to take pictures around the Rotunda! With lots of historic imagery surrounding us, we got some awesome architecture that creates an lovely background for this portrait session.
