Proudly Serving
Proud to photograph graduates from all Norfolk public schools, private academies, and universities.
Booker T. Washington High School. One of Norfolk's most historically significant schools, Booker T. Washington carries a legacy of excellence dating back to the early 20th century. BTW graduates are known for their resilience, community engagement, and cultural pride. We capture that legacy in graduation portraits that honor every step of their journey.
Granby High School. Home of the Comets, Granby High School is one of Norfolk's most well-known campuses with strong programs in academics, athletics, and the performing arts. Granby's STEM academy draws ambitious students from across the city. Our composites celebrate the drive and talent of every Comet who crosses the graduation stage.
Lake Taylor High School. The Titans of Lake Taylor carry a proud tradition of athletic achievement and community spirit in Norfolk's southern corridor. Lake Taylor graduates are known for their heart and hustle, qualities that translate beautifully into creative portrait sessions. We bring that Titan energy into every frame.
Maury High School. Maury's Commodores represent one of the oldest and most respected high schools in Norfolk, with roots dating back to 1911. The school's strong college-prep curriculum and vibrant extracurricular scene produce graduates who are ready for anything. We honor the Commodore tradition with portraits that match the school's storied legacy.
Norview High School. Home of the Pilots, Norview has a rich history and a diverse, close-knit student body that makes graduation day a true community celebration. Norview graduates carry a strong sense of identity and neighborhood pride into their futures. Our graduation composites capture that Pilot spirit with creativity and style.
Norfolk Academy. Founded in 1728, Norfolk Academy is the oldest independent school in Virginia and one of the most prestigious in the mid-Atlantic. With approximately 1,205 students in a PK-12 setting, Norfolk Academy produces graduates who are leaders in every field. Our portraits reflect the caliber and tradition of a Norfolk Academy education.
Norfolk Collegiate School. Norfolk Collegiate is a PK-12 independent school with approximately 555 students and a 100% college placement rate. The school's rigorous curriculum and intimate class sizes create graduates who are exceptionally well-prepared for top universities. We create graduation portraits that capture the confidence and polish of a Collegiate education.

Graduates emerge with strong character and a commitment to service. Our portraits celebrate both the academic achievement and the spiritual foundation that define a Norfolk Christian education.
Old Dominion University (ODU). ODU is Norfolk's largest university and a major research institution with nationally recognized programs in engineering, cybersecurity, and maritime studies. The Monarchs represent a diverse student body of over 24,000 students from around the world. Our composite sessions are a favorite among ODU graduates who want to combine their cap and gown with Greek letters, career attire, or campus pride.
Norfolk State University (NSU). Norfolk State is a proud HBCU and home of the Spartans, with a rich tradition of academic excellence, Greek life, and marching band culture. NSU graduates carry a deep sense of community and cultural pride into everything they do. We are honored to photograph Spartan graduates with portraits that capture their energy, their Greek letters, and their ambitions.
Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences at ODU (Formerly EVMS). Formerly Eastern Virginia Medical School, this institution trains the next generation of physicians, surgeons, and healthcare leaders in Norfolk. Earning a medical degree is one of life's most significant achievements, and our portraits honor the years of dedication it takes to reach that milestone. We specialize in creating composites that pair the white coat with the cap and gown.
Tidewater Community College — Norfolk Campus. TCC's Norfolk campus provides accessible, affordable higher education to thousands of students pursuing associate degrees and career certifications. A TCC graduation represents real accomplishment and a launching point for continued education or career success. We celebrate every TCC graduate with the same creative excellence we bring to university-level sessions.

Session Tips
What Norfolk Graduates Say
★★★★★I graduated from Norfolk State and wanted graduation photos that showed my Spartan pride and my Delta Sigma Theta letters. Roger absolutely delivered. The composite portrait he created is hanging in my living room and my parents ordered prints for the entire family. Worth every penny!
— Aaliyah D., Norfolk State University Class of 2025
★★★★★My daughter graduated from Booker T. Washington and Roger made her feel like a superstar during her session. She was nervous at first but he made the whole experience fun and comfortable. The final images were absolutely breathtaking — way better than anything her school photographer offered.
— Patricia M., Mother of BTW Graduate
