Bet you didn’t know this Colorado-based girl is an Ohio graduation photographer, too. It’s true! Every spring, I make an annual trip to photograph seniors at my alma mater, Miami University, in Oxford, Ohio. The best part? Not only do I get to visit the school I hold so dearly, but I’m also within driving distance of so many other gorgeous campuses. So yes, I’m a Colorado photographer. But during senior season, I’m a Miami University senior photographer, and an Ohio State graduation photographer. I’m taking Cincinnati graduation photos, and working as a Dayton senior photographer!

It’s down to the wire for the Class of 2026. But Ohio seniors, you’ve got an advantage! Because you’re booking travel dates, not regular dates, my calendar isn’t booked up as far in advance.

So if you like what you see, let’s talk! You can book me through that link while I’m in your neck of the woods.

Upcoming travel dates to Miami University: On (and around) April 21-26, 2026

Ohio State University Graduation Portraits

Listen up, Buckeyes! You’re just 1 hour and 45 minutes away from where I’ll be in Oxford. Let’s hit The Shoe, University Hall, The Oval or Thompson Library! Looking for more scenic senior shots? I’ll meet you at Mirror Lake, Olentangy Trail, or Browning Ampitheater. Or let’s get creative! There are plenty of uniquely Ohio grad photos to be taken at visually modern spots like Wexner, CBEC, Ohio Union, or even the Script Ohio Statue.

University of Cincinnati Grad Photos

Calling all Bearcats! I’ll be 45 minutes away from your beautiful campus next month. We can hit Nippert Stadium, McMicken Hall, or grab some candid shots on UC MainStreet. Want some classic University of Cincinnati graduation portraits? There’s nothing more iconic than the Bearcat Bench, the fountain, or the statues of Mick and Mack. If you’re looking for something a little more artistic, the DAAP Building has the perfect geometric backdrops.

University of Dayton Graduation Portraits

Graduating Flyers, I’m only 40 minutes away from the official UD sign at Caldwell and Brown Street! Grab a classic graduation portrait, then head on over to the main entrance to complete the set. The Chapel of Immaculate Conception is a quintessential historic photo backdrop, as is St. Joe’s Courtyard. Create a more causal vibe with graduation portraits at campus staple Tim’s Bar, or show off the stately architecture at St. Mary’s/Albert Emmanuel Hall.

Xavier University Grad Photos

You’re up, Musketeers! I’ll be an hour away, ready to be your Ohio graduation photographer. We can create scenic images at Xavier Lake, or snap classic campus shots at Academic Mall & Alter Hall, CLC, and the Musketeer statue. Want to showcase the spirit of your fellow graduates? Let’s grab some shots at University Station/King’s Way Cafe, or even at the Gallagher Student Center for a lively campus atmosphere.

Northern Kentucky University Graduation Portraits

I know what you’re thinking. I’m all about Ohio graduation photography, but the Norse are just an hour away in Highland Heights. So let’s take your graduation portraits with Oseberg or Stego while I’m in your area! The Ceramics and Sculpture Building is an ideal spot for modern/industrial shots, or opt for the more scenic backdrop of the University Plaza and Green Spaces. Don’t forget the clock tower! Visible from nearly every spot on campus, we’ll be sure to grab a visual of your day-to-day NKU experience.

It’s true—senior photos are typically associated with high school seniors. They’re a time-honored tradition and right of passage going back way before the department-store photos of my generation. And why not? There are so many important uses for them! (Check out a few of my favorites here!) But what about college? Graduate school? Why leave all the fun to the teens? Whether you’re a student yourself or a parent looking for ways to celebrate your offspring’s unique accomplishments, let me tell you why senior photos aren’t just for high school students anymore.

Senior photos commemorate milestones—whatever they might be!

Yes, graduating high school is a significant accomplishment. But so is graduating from anything else! Senior photos represent the graduates of college, medical school, law school, and so much more. They’re a unique way to mark your achievements, whatever they might be! They capture a significant milestone, provide a visual representation of the journey through any endeavor, and act as a cherished keepsake for years to come. 

More than that, senior photos give us a way to look back on the college or graduate years with joy-filled memories that we’ll definitely be nostalgic for someday. They allow students to express their unique personality and style beyond the awkward teenage years, and document those passions through props, poses and photos. These images aren’t just another set of generic portraits; they’re artistic representations of YOU at this specific moment in time. 

Take them for your family

Trust me. Even if you don’t feel like marking every graduation with senior photos, your family definitely does! These images visually celebrate both academic and personal accomplishments. They showcase the hard work and dedication of each graduating student, and highlight the unique talents, interests, and extracurricular activities that shaped the whole experience. They even create a visual narrative that bridges the gap between a student’s college years and their future aspirations. 

These are the images that will tell your story on the mantel in your parents’ living room. The ones they’ll show friends and family as they share their pride and joy. The ones that connect the dots from baby pictures to wedding pictures, family photos, and beyond. They’re gifts, they’re social media posts, they’re holiday cards, and more!

Let’s talk logistics

Most seniors choose spring sessions for their senior photos, but I always recommend the summer before your final semester. The weather is better, the outfits are cuter, and the “senioritis” hasn’t quite kicked in yet. Plus you’ll get your gallery in hand sooner, so you’re ready for graduation invitations, thank you notes, personal portfolios, professional job applications and more. 

Are you graduating from an institution in Colorado? I can help you craft the perfect portrait session. Get started by reading this, check out some of my work, then reach out so we can chat! I’d love to bring this chapter in your story to life.
