Golden Hour Lens Flare Grad Photos | Texas State

Graduating is such a life-changing milestone, and there’s no better way to celebrate it than with a golden hour session at Texas State University in San Marcos. These sessions aren’t just about taking photos – they’re about celebrating YOU, your hard work, and the journey that brought you here. My grad sessions are designed to be fun and relaxed as if your best friend is taking your photos so that you can just relax and reminisce.

Golden hour is hands down the best time for a session. That soft, glowing light adds a magical touch to every shot, making your photos feel warm, vibrant, and timeless. At Texas State, the campus provides the perfect backdrop for your session, with its iconic landmarks, beautiful walkways, and natural charm. Whether it’s your cap and gown, your favorite outfit, or that personalized grad cap you’ve spent hours designing, as Kristin has here, we’ll highlight everything that makes this moment special for you.

During your session, I promiseeeee you will feel celebrated and totally at ease. We’ll capture candid moments that show your personality, as well as classic shots you can share with family and friends, and especially ones that you can stick on those graduation invitations. I’ll guide you through poses and help you feel comfortable so you can focus on enjoying the experience. Kristin is more of an outlier here because she barely needed ANY prompting lol but don’t worry – I was a nervous wreck throughout my own session so I totally know the feeling and how to make you feel comfy 🙂
