Graduating from The Ohio State University is a BIG deal — and your graduation photos should feel just as special. 🎓❤️


After years of late nights, football Saturdays, new friendships, stressful exams, and so many memories made on campus, graduation is the perfect excuse to celebrate everything you’ve accomplished. And what better place to do it than the campus that has been home for the last four years?


As an Ohio State grad photographer, I love creating graduation sessions that feel fun, natural, and completely you — while still giving you those iconic Ohio State photos you'll want to frame forever.

 

Your Ohio State Graduation Photos Should Feel Like You

 

 

There is something so special about photographing seniors at Ohio State because every graduate has a different story.


Maybe you spent most of your time studying in Thompson Library. Maybe you spent most nights at Ugly Tuna or Out-R-Inn. Maybe football Saturdays at The Shoe were your favorite part of college. Or maybe your favorite memories are simply walking across the Oval with your best friends.


Whatever your Ohio State experience looked like, I want your session to capture your personality and your experience, not just a collection of traditional cap-and-gown poses.


We'll mix the classic graduation photos with candid moments, movement, personality, and plenty of opportunities to celebrate YOU.

 

Iconic Ohio State Photo Locations


One of my favorite things about Ohio State graduation sessions is that there are so many recognizable locations around campus.


📍 Thompson Library


Thompson Library is another must-have location for graduation photos. The architecture makes for beautiful portraits, and it's especially fun to incorporate the library if it was a meaningful part of your college experience.


📍 The Ohio Stadium


Whether you want a few classic cap-and-gown photos or something more playful and celebratory, Ohio Stadium is one of those locations that instantly makes your photos feel like Ohio State.


📍 Mirror Lake & Other Campus Spots


Depending on your session, we can also incorporate locations like Mirror Lake, the RPAC, and some of the buildings that made your college experience uniquely yours like the Fisher College of Business or Knowlton School of Architecture.


📍 Campus Bars


Whether Out-R-Inn, Ugly Tuna, Ethyl or another campus favorite was your go-to spot throughout college, incorporating it into your photos can be such a fun way to document the places that were part of your Ohio State experience.


These photos don't have to be traditional cap-and-gown portraits — we can grab a few fun, candid shots outside your favorite spot or incorporate your friends for photos that feel more like your actual college experience.


Don't Forget the Details


The little details can make your Ohio State graduation gallery even more personal.


Bring anything that represents your college experience — whether that's:


Champagne

Your decorated graduation cap

Stoles and cords

Medals

Your diploma cover

An Ohio State Sweatshirt

A sorority or fraternity accessory

A football jersey

A childhood photo

Confetti



These little details help tell the story of your time at Ohio State.
