Celebrating a moment years in the making, this powerful graduation session honored not only the academic journey of an extraordinary new law school graduate but also the legacy of her family, heritage, and late mother. We met in Washington, D.C., for a sunrise session that spanned the grandeur of the Supreme Court and the historic steps of the Capitol building—an iconic backdrop for a truly iconic moment.
From the proud embrace of her father and stepmother to the playful, joyful shots with siblings, this shoot was a full celebration of love and support. Her family beamed with pride throughout the morning, offering a quiet reminder that graduation is rarely a solo milestone—it’s a community victory.
One of the most touching moments of the session was a detail on her graduation cap: a small but meaningful photo of her mother, who passed away years ago. The tribute was quiet but deeply moving—an elegant gesture of remembrance that added emotional depth to an already meaningful shoot.
In addition to her legal pursuits, she carries a love for music, which she subtly incorporated into her graduation outfit—a small treble clef pin, worn proudly. It was a beautiful reminder that we are never just one thing; we carry our passions with us into every new chapter.
From the symbolism of the Supreme Court to the sweeping power of the Capitol dome, this session embodied achievement, advocacy, and identity. These images tell the story of someone stepping fully into their power—with history behind her and purpose ahead.
