Golden Hour & New Beginnings: A Graduation Session at College of DuPage
There’s something incredibly special about celebrating not just an ending, but a brand new beginning—and this graduation session was the perfect example of that.
I recently had the joy of photographing a lovely grad on the beautiful campus of College of DuPage. Dressed in her cap and gown, she radiated confidence, pride, and a true sense of accomplishment. We walked through some of her favorite spots on campus, capturing the memories tied to her journey and the excitement of what’s ahead.
The evening ended with a glowing sunset that felt like the universe was celebrating right along with us. It was golden and peaceful—just like the moment she’s in right now: reflective and full of possibility.
What made this session even more meaningful? She recently picked up a promotion at her current job—her absolute dream job at this stage in life. Talk about perfect timing! It was an honor to capture her in this moment, not just as a graduate, but as a woman stepping boldly into her next chapter.
These are the stories I love telling—authentic, joyful, and full of life.
