Proudly Serving

Hampton schools we serve.

Proud to photograph graduates from all Hampton institutions.

Hampton University

Hampton University is one of the nation's most prestigious HBCUs, home to the Pirates and draped in royal blue and white. HU is renowned for its strong programs in nursing, business, journalism, and the sciences, and its graduates carry deep HBCU pride and Greek life traditions. We specialize in composite portraits that showcase your HU regalia, Greek letters, and career aspirations all in one powerful image.

Hampton High School

Hampton High School is a proud Hampton City Schools institution known for its Crabbers mascot and competitive athletics. Located in the heart of the city, Hampton High produces well-rounded graduates who excel in academics, arts, and sports. Our creative senior portraits are designed to capture the energy and ambition that Hampton High students bring to their graduation celebrations.

Bethel High School

Bethel High School carries the Bruins mascot with pride and is recognized for strong academic programs and championship-caliber athletics. Bethel graduates often go on to Division I universities and distinguished careers. Our composite sessions let Bethel seniors combine their varsity jerseys, graduation gowns, and future career looks into one unforgettable portrait.

Kecoughtan High School

Kecoughtan High School is one of Hampton's oldest and most storied schools, home to the Warriors. Kecoughtan is known for its strong JROTC program, performing arts, and a loyal alumni community that spans generations. We love photographing Kecoughtan seniors who bring their warrior spirit, military aspirations, and personal achievements to every session.

Phoebus High School

Phoebus High School is famous for its Phantoms football dynasty and tight-knit community near Fort Monroe. Phoebus has produced numerous college and professional athletes alongside scholars and leaders. With nearby military installations like Joint Base Langley-Eustis, many Phoebus grads pursue military careers, and our composites are perfect for showcasing that dual identity of athlete, scholar, and service member.

Hampton Roads Academy

Hampton Roads Academy is an elite private PK-12 school with approximately 620 students and a remarkable 100% four-year college attendance rate. Known for rigorous academics, competitive athletics, and a close-knit campus community, HRA graduates are well-prepared for top universities. Our studio portraits help HRA seniors mark this achievement with the same caliber of excellence they have pursued throughout their education.

New Horizons Governor's School for Science & Technology

New Horizons Governor's School is located in Hampton and draws gifted students from across the region for advanced study in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Graduates of this prestigious program often hold research awards and academic distinctions that deserve to be showcased. Our creative composites can incorporate lab equipment, research posters, and academic regalia for a portrait as accomplished as the student.

New Horizons Career & Technical Education Center

New Horizons Career & Technical Education Center prepares Hampton-area students for skilled trades and professional careers through hands-on training programs. From healthcare to IT to automotive technology, these graduates are workforce-ready from day one. Our portrait sessions celebrate the tools, uniforms, and certifications that represent their career paths alongside their graduation achievements.

Virginia Peninsula Community College — Hampton Campus

Virginia Peninsula Community College (VPCC), formerly Thomas Nelson Community College, offers accessible higher education at its Hampton campus. VPCC graduates earn associate degrees and workforce credentials that launch careers or transfer to four-year universities. We proudly photograph VPCC graduates who want professional portraits to celebrate this important milestone.

Serving Hampton Graduates at Every Level

Hampton is a city with a deep legacy of educational excellence, anchored by the renowned Hampton University. We proudly photograph HU Pirates who carry their HBCU pride into every frame. Beyond the university, we serve graduates from Hampton High School, Bethel High School, Kecoughtan High School, and Phoebus High School — schools that have produced generations of leaders, athletes, and scholars. We also photograph students from Hampton Roads Academy, New Horizons Governor's School for Science & Technology, New Horizons Career & Technical Education Center, and Virginia Peninsula Community College (VPCC). Hampton's proximity to military installations like Joint Base Langley-Eustis means many graduates are also service members or military families, and our composite portraits are the perfect format to honor both academic and military achievements. Whether you are walking across the stage at the Hampton Convocation Center or your high school auditorium, our creative portraits capture the pride, the culture, and the achievement that define Hampton graduates.

What Hampton Graduates Say

Premium, detail-focused photography.

Client note

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
Client note

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
