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.

April in Harrisonburg means graduation shoots with JMU seniors! It’s a busy time for local photographers and students alike. Spring time in Harrisonburg is just a beautiful time to take photos. Beautiful flowers are in bloom, warm weather, and (mostly) sunny days create the perfect atmosphere for photography. I had the opportunity to work with JMU grad, Anna and her friends to create some awesome memories for everyone involved. Here are the results:

I had the pleasure to work with Marilyn, a soon to be JMU graduate for the Fall Semester! We met on The Quad of the James Madison University Campus where we walked around to take pictures. Unfortunately, the iconic Wilson Hall was under construction so we had to get creative and find other places to take pictures at. James Madison University's campus is full of unique and timeless buildings and structures, perfect for graduation photographs. We took pictures at Madison Hall, the fountain in front of Carrier Library, the life-size James Madison Statue, the train tracks near Greek Row, and of course the open spaces of The Quad itself. Marilyn brought with her, her awesome and supportive friends, as well as some glitter to make some of her photos "sparkle". This session was filled with lots of laughs and smiles and created a happy memory for both me and my client.
