Celebrating Academic Milestones: Capturing Graduation Moments at Penn State and Susquehanna University

Graduation marks a significant chapter, a culmination of hard work, dedication, and personal growth. At McGlynn Media, we understand the importance of preserving these moments through thoughtful and personalized photography sessions. Recently, we had the privilege of working with two exceptional graduates, each with unique stories and aspirations.

Overcoming Rainy Skies at Penn State

Despite the unpredictable weather, our session at Penn State University with a master's graduate in finance turned out beautifully. Utilizing the iconic "Old Main" building as a sheltered backdrop, we captured a series of images that reflected both the grandeur of the campus and the graduate's professional milestone. ​

Embracing Spring Sunshine at Susquehanna University

In contrast, our session at Susquehanna University benefited from the gentle warmth of early spring. Celebrating a graduate in special education, we explored various campus locations that held personal significance. Incorporating curated wardrobe choices and meaningful props, such as educational-themed accessories, we highlighted her passion for teaching and her vibrant personality.​

Tips for Planning Your Graduation Photo Session

To ensure your graduation photos authentically represent your journey, consider the following:

• Choose Meaningful Locations: Select spots on campus that hold personal memories. Think about spaces like, a favorite study nook, a cherished classroom, or a scenic walkway.​

• Incorporate Personal Elements: Bring along items that reflect your major or interests, such as books, instruments, or tools of your future trade.​

• Dress Thoughtfully: Opt for outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable. Consider both formal attire and casual wear to showcase different facets of your personality.​

• Be Weather-Prepared: Embrace the elements. Rain or shine, each weather condition offers unique photographic opportunities. You don't need full sunny skies for a great photoshoot!

• Schedule Wisely: Plan your session during times when campus is less crowded to ensure a relaxed atmosphere and uninterrupted backdrops.​
