What Portsmouth Graduates Are Saying
"I graduated from I.C. Norcom and Roger created a composite that told my entire story — my graduation gown, my track uniform, and my acceptance letter to my dream college all in one portrait. No other photographer in the area does anything like this. The 20-minute drive to Suffolk was nothing for results this incredible."
— DeAndre S., I.C. Norcom High School Class of 2025
"My Churchland senior portraits with Roger were the highlight of my graduation season. He made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and the final composite was a work of art. My family ordered so many prints we practically wallpapered the house! Best graduation investment we made."
— Simone L., Churchland High School Class of 2025
