I absolutely love portraits and although I’m usually photographing high school seniors, photographing a college grad for the first time made me want to do it more!! It’s such an exciting season. Sarah is getting ready to graduate this winter from UVA which is quite the accomplishment if you ask me. College in general is obviously a huge feat but UVA is not for the faint of heart so it’s especially something to celebrate. I’m glad I got to meet Sarah and hang out with her for a bit before I left for my Europe trip! One of my 2017 brides connected us since they’re in the same sorority at UVA — thanks, Maggie! 🙂

I was so excited to meet Sarah when I showed up on the lawn back in November and although it rained throughout our shoot, UVA provided some good coverings and backdrops to make it just as beautiful as it would have been on a sunny day! I also loved that we got to go in the newly renovated Rotunda to take a few photos of Sarah sketching since she’s an incredible artist (check out her Instagram). I had no idea at the time how talented she was but I’ve loved keeping up with her art online since this!

So here are a few of Sarah’s graduation portraits! Congrats, Sarah!! Hope you love these photos and that you have such a wonderful winter break!
