These three girls are best friends and are graduating from the Duke University Anesthesiology program this summer! I was so happy when they reached out about graduation portraits together. I think it’s so fun to see people celebrate with the ones they love – and in this case, the ones who understand their journey the best! Congratulations to Courtney, Richa, and Kaleigh! I know this program is not easy but you all made it!
Duke University Graduation Portraits
I always love when I get the chance to come visit Duke University for portraits. This campus is absolutely beautiful and I enjoy photographing sessions here. One of my favorite places to photograph is the Duke Chapel. It’s stone walls and large archways make it a beautiful backdrop for special moments for graduates. Courtney, Richa, and Kaleigh were open to my thoughts on the location and I’m glad we stuck with this one. I love the variety we get all in one spot: from wooden doors to stone steps and greenery.
Courtney, Richa, and Kaleigh brought their caps and gowns for their session, and wore the dresses they’re planning to wear for graduation. It was an easy way to get two looks and document such a special outfit! Planning what to wear to get your degree is a big deal and I love knowing they’ll have photos to remember all of their hard work and this huge achievement. The three best friends wanted a combination of group and solo portraits to celebrate, and I was more than happy to oblige. We ended the session with a celebratory champagne spray! It was perfect.
Congratulations again, Courtney, Richa, and Kaleigh! I’m so happy I had the chance to capture this big achievement for you three with your graduation portraits at Duke University!!!
