I took Sydney’s grad photos well over a year ago (literally from 2022!) and am finally getting around to posting them! Her session is still one of my favorites and I often use it as an example for different grad photo ideas, along with poses, outfits, and props. This was an absolutely gorgeous morning at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. It was a perfect blend of beautiful weather, stunning outfits, and impeccable lighting, resulting in photographs that truly encapsulate the joy and achievement of college graduation photos.
Sydney studied Exercise and Sports Science with a Pre-Rehab focus, which I was super excited about because I also work in the medical field! She chose to wear some of my FAVORITE grad outfits, both of which were both stylish and representative of her personality. Her first outfit is a cozy, maroon Texas State sweatshirt paired with a chic denim mini skirt. Her choice of white knee-high boots added a touch of elegance and modernity to the fit, making her really stand out against the classic UAC arch in the first few photos.
The golden hour light brightened campus in a warm, ethereal glow, creating the perfect backdrop for her grad photos. I always recommend morning sessions to afternoon sessions as there is almost never anyone else on campus, which in this case allowed Sydney to feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. It is also much cooler weather (which is essential in this Texas heat!!!) and overall a serene, reflective, intimate experience. I will truly never forget her session because it was such a nice time! <3
