WVU law school graduate standing at a railing on campus

Whether you’re graduating after studying for four years or with an advanced degree, your achievements need to be celebrated! West Virginia University is one of my favorite locations for sessions, especially when it involves special members of your family. Mary Kathryn’s WVU law school graduation photoshoot was one of a kind!

A Family Full of Law Students

Mary Kathryn chose a beautiful day for her portrait session! Her mom found my website and contacted me about setting up a photoshoot for her. Mary Kathryn is originally from Charleston, WV. She earned her undergraduate degree in Management Systems from UGA’s Terry College of Business. She has grown up around attorneys all her life and always considered attending law school. Law practice has always interested her, and rightly so with both her father and grandfather graduating from WVU College of Law.

Since Mary Kathryn went out of state for her bachelor’s degree, she was eager to return to West Virginia. One thing she came to learn was that WVU’s law school is a tight-knit community. She feels that the school has prepared her well for her future as a young lawyer in the state.

The Meaning Behind the Color Blue

During the graduation ceremony, Mary Kathryn was hooded by her father. What a special moment for both of them! Mary Kathryn put a lot of planning into her graduation session. She chose a light blue dress to match her SBA stole. She was the president of SBA and designed the stole in a light blue color. For the champagne shots, Mary Kathryn chose a bottle with a blue label. Her mom, Jacqueline, came along to the session and we made sure to take some portraits of them together. We also took some photos of Mary Kathryn with her bestie, Marley.

Mary Kathryn will be clerking for Judge Robert B. King of the United States Court of Appeals, the Fourth District. She is looking forward to putting her research and writing skills to work and being exposed to a different side of the law, with federal court. 

Congratulations Mary Kathryn on receiving your law degree! Thank you for choosing me to document your WVU law school graduation session! Graduate photoshoots are my favorite! Let’s start planning your dream session. Send me an email to get started!
