This was one of the first of many graduation portrait sessions at Chapman University this year. We started the grad session at the iconic Halfacre Fountain. It contains the Four Pillars: Intellectual, Physical, Social, and Spiritual. After the fountain, we moved to the stone chair which the Lincoln Memorial inspired. The chair faces a piece of the Berlin Wall that President Doti brought to Chapman on September 8, 1997. It is a great reminder to students, staff, and visitors about the struggles it took to achieve freedom. Next, we took some photos at Doti Hall, where Natalya took most of her classes over the years. It wouldn’t be a proper grad shoot without taking some photos in front of the Chapman University sign! Chapman Auditorium is also a nice spot to take photos as the architecture is inspired by Athens, Greece. We ended our session at the Chapman University entrance gate sign and the Charles Chapman Memorial Statue.

Natalya graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Strategic and Corporate Communication. Congratulations Natalya!

Interested in setting up a graduation portrait session? I’m still accepting bookings for the 2022 grad season. I do photograph grad sessions all over Southern California near or far. Book now before spots fill up!
