What Virginia Beach Graduates Are Saying
"Roger made my senior portrait session so much fun! I graduated from Ocean Lakes and wanted something way more creative than the standard yearbook photo. The composite he created with my cap and gown, cheerleading uniform, and prom dress was absolutely stunning. My mom cried when she saw it!"
— Brianna T., Ocean Lakes High School Class of 2025
"I drove from the Virginia Beach Oceanfront to his Suffolk studio and it was completely worth the trip. Roger captured my Regent University graduation and my sorority letters in one incredible composite. The quality is unreal — everyone on my Instagram thought I hired a celebrity photographer."
— Jasmine W., Regent University Graduate
Virginia Beach Graduation FAQs
Common Questions

Where are sessions held?
At our professional studio in Suffolk, just 25 minutes from Virginia Beach via I-264.

What are the best graduation photo locations in Virginia Beach?
While our studio sessions deliver the most polished, magazine-quality results with professional lighting and backdrops, many Virginia Beach grads love the idea of spots like the Virginia Beach Boardwalk, Mount Trashmore Park, and their own school campuses. We specialize in creating that outdoor, location feel right in our controlled studio environment through creative composites.
Can you photograph my cap toss or ceremony moments?
Our specialty is studio portrait sessions where we have full control over lighting and creativity. We do not cover live ceremonies, but we recreate cap toss moments, diploma poses, and celebratory shots in-studio that look even better than candid ceremony photos!
