Your eyes don’t deceive you. Those are University of Michigan grad photos! Even though I’m based in Colorado, there’s nothing I love more than capturing special moments, no matter where I am. That’s why I incorporate travel dates throughout the year—so I can be your photographer in your neck of the woods. Ready to book your grad photos, Wolverines? Send me a message! I’d love to celebrate at The Big House with you.

Graduation portraits are some of my very favorite photo shoots. And with good reason! Capturing genuine human emotions is such a fun part of this job, and graduates are always so full of pride, hope, and joy. Over the last year, the Class of 2025 was no exception! These amazing young adults are ready to take on the world, and I’m so excited that I got to capture this chapter of their stories. As we all look forward to whatever the future holds, let’s take a look back and celebrate!

Graduation Portraits Your Way

The best thing about graduation portraits with me? You can make the experience as unique as your story! Take individual portraits, book a shoot with a group of your friends or roommates, or make a whole day of it with your whole tribe. The common thread? No matter what vision you have for your graduation portraits, we’ll work together to make it something you love. Read all about my grad session details here!

Graduation Portraits In Your Neck of the Woods

Even though I’m technically a Colorado photographer, I love to travel around the country… especially for graduation portraits! To my alma mater (Go Red Birds!) and beyond, I hit the road every spring to celebrate the graduates of several universities that I’ve come to know and love over the years. Interested in a session? Reach out and subscribe to my newsletter to be in-the-know for all my upcoming travel dates and locations.

Make the Most of Your Senior Year

Portraits go a lot farther than they used to. In addition to the traditional cap and gown shots your parents and grandparents will love to receive as gifts, your images can live forever online, be used for graduation gift thank you notes, resumes… even framed side-by-side with your future spouse as personalized wedding decor some day. All this to say? Investing in these photos is definitely worth the commitment. Check out some more of my ideas on how to use senior portraits here, and get ready to graduate in style!

Refer A Friend = Make Some Cash!

Did someone say cash? If you tell a friend about my services and they book, you’ll get $50 cash via PayPal or Venmo. You read that right! Refer five friends and all of them book? That’s $250 in your pocket. So if you love your graduation portraits, be sure to share your images, tag @sarnoldphoto, and tell your friends and fellow grads. Let’s remember these moments together!
