Grad season always has a special place in my heart, and photographing sessions at the University of South Florida is always sure to be a beautiful session. The Tampa campus is so picturesque and, of course, the golden hour lighting always makes every shot feel extra magical. When Jimena reached out about capturing her graduation photos, I was all in!

Jimena showed up radiating excitement and brought along her boyfriend, Alex, to celebrate with her. I love when grads include their loved ones—it adds such a personal touch to the session.

From cheering with her cap in front of USF’s picture-perfect spots to sharing a few joy-filled moments with Alex, Jimena’s session was everything a grad shoot should be—fun, full of personality, and the perfect way to mark this huge milestone.

One of the best parts of graduation sessions is getting to hear about my grads’ future plans, and Jimena has some big dreams ahead! She’s currently applying to grad schools, and I have no doubt she’s going to do amazing things. Wishing her all the success in this next chapter—wherever she ends up, they’re lucky to have her!

Congrats again, Jimena!! 🎓
