Caps, Gowns, and Big Dreams


There’s something extra special about watching a friend hit a major milestone, and getting to capture it behind the camera makes it even better. I had the absolute honor of photographing Lucas’s graduation session at USF St. Pete, and it was such a joyful, proud moment.


As a St. Pete photographer, moments like these are what I love: celebrating hard work, big achievements, and the bright futures ahead. We walked around the beautiful waterfront campus on a picture-perfect Florida day, capturing everything from classic cap-and-gown shots to candid moments filled with laughter and pride.


Lucas recently graduated from USF St. Pete and is preparing to take the next step toward a future in the medical field. With plans to apply to grad school, he’s pursuing his passion for helping others and making a real difference. It’s no surprise. His heart, drive, and dedication shine through in everything he does.


If you’re looking for St. Pete graduation photography that captures more than just a diploma—something that reflects your journey, personality, and future—I’d love to connect! From sunny beachside sessions to meaningful campus strolls, graduation is such a special season worth documenting.


Lucas, I’m cheering you on every step of the way!! Congrats!
