We also photograph graduates from Thomas Nelson Community College. Whether you are walking across the stage at the Hampton Convocation Center or your high school auditorium, our creative portraits and composites capture the pride, the culture, and the achievement that define Hampton graduates.
What Hampton Graduates Are Saying
"As a Hampton University graduate and AKA member, I needed a photographer who understood HBCU culture and Greek life. Roger exceeded every expectation. My composite portrait features my HU regalia, my pink and green, and a professional business look all in one stunning image. My line sisters are all booking with him now!"
— Danielle R., Hampton University Class of 2025
"My son graduated from Bethel High School and Roger made his senior session unforgettable. He incorporated his football jersey, his graduation gown, and his college acceptance into one composite portrait. It was emotional seeing the whole journey captured in a single image. Roger is truly an artist."
— Karen H., Mother of Bethel High School Graduate

What are the best graduation photo locations in Hampton?
Hampton has iconic spots like the Hampton University campus, Fort Monroe, and the Hampton waterfront. Our studio, however, delivers the most creative and professional results. Through our composite technique, we can place you in any setting while maintaining perfect studio lighting — giving you the best of both worlds.

We specialize in studio portrait sessions rather than live ceremony coverage. We recreate cap toss celebrations, diploma poses, and dynamic graduation moments in-studio with professional lighting for results that are even more striking than candid ceremony shots.
