senior session at West Virginia University near Woodburn Circle

What a memorable senior session at West Virginia University for Addison! We went to all the popular spots around campus to document this important photo shoot. This school has such beautiful locations at any time of the year and I’m always excited when a college senior reaches out to me to photograph this milestone.

Addison is a first-generation college student and graduate. At West Virginia University, when someone graduates and is the first in their family, that senior receives a special stole for them to wear at graduation. What an amazing way to show off this accomplishment! Addison now holds a degree in Exercise Physiology and is pursuing a master’s degree this year.

We chose to shoot during the early evening because of the richness of the golden hour light. It was important for her to get pictures inside the WVU Health Science Center because this is where Addison attended most of her classes. The WVU Health Science Center is a multifaceted health complex campus of the Robert C. Byrd Health Science Center. This area of the university houses the schools of medicine, dentistry, nursing and pharmacy, three hospitals, and state-of-the-art cancer and eye centers.

A popular location on campus that graduates love is Woodburn Circle. All of my past senior graduates plan on this spot for their portraits some time during their sessions. \Another area that Addision was set on for pictures is The Erikson Alumni Center, especially the balcony. You are only allowed to go on the balcony if you’re an alumnus. We were super lucky since someone in the building had a key and let Addison outside while I stood from down below to capture those pictures.

Congratulations Addision on being a first generation college graduate! Your senior session at West Virginia University was a joy to document. It’s such an amazing accomplishment and I know your family is incredibly proud of you!

I’ve already shot so many sessions here, I feel like it’s my second home. If you’re graduating this spring from WVU, please reach out about scheduling your graduation photo shoot!
