What Norfolk Graduates Are Saying

"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

Norfolk Graduation FAQs

Common Questions

How much do graduation photos cost?

Sessions start at $199 for basic portraits. Creative composite sessions range from $350-$500+.

Where are sessions held?

At our professional studio in Suffolk, just 26 minutes from downtown Norfolk.

Can I bring my Greek letters?

Absolutely! Bring your sorority/fraternity letters, stoles, and any regalia.

What are the best graduation photo locations in Norfolk?

Norfolk has beautiful spots like the ODU campus, Norfolk Botanical Garden, and the Neon District. However, our studio sessions produce the most polished, creative results with professional lighting. We recreate that outdoor atmosphere through our signature composite portraits so you get the best of both worlds.

Can you photograph my cap toss or ceremony?

We specialize in studio portrait sessions rather than live ceremony coverage. In-studio, we recreate cap toss moments, diploma poses, and celebratory shots with perfect lighting — the results are even more striking than candid ceremony photos!
