D'Youville Graduation Session with Sophie & Peyton - Photographed by Ariel Hawkins Photography

Graduation Photos at D’Youville College | Celebrating Sophie & Peyton

Graduation is one of those milestones that deserves to be documented with more than just a phone snap. It’s a celebration of hard work, determination, and a brand new chapter—and Sophie and Peyton’s graduation session at D’Youville College was the perfect reminder of that.

These two beautiful young women brought so much life, laughter, and joy to their photo shoot. From the moment we started, it was all smiles, inside jokes, and genuine excitement about what’s next. They chose the gorgeous campus of D'Youville as their backdrop—classic red brick, spring blooms, and just the right amount of Buffalo sunshine made the session feel effortless and fun.

Sophie left a heartfelt review after the session that just warmed my heart:
“Ariel was absolutely amazing to work with! She made the shoot so much fun and made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera. The pictures came out beautiful and I will cherish them forever!”

That’s exactly what I strive for with every client: making you feel confident, relaxed, and celebrated during your shoot.

To Sophie and Peyton: I am SO proud of you. You are smart, strong, beautiful young women and full of potential. Watching you glow in front of the camera was a joy, and I know that same energy will carry you far in life. Congratulations, graduates! May your futures be bright, bold, and wildly successful.

If you’re reading this and thinking “Wait... I still need graduation photos!”—you’re not too late! I’m offering graduation sessions through the end of June, with select dates still available. Whether you’re graduating from D’Youville, UB, Buff State, or any WNY college, let’s make sure you have beautiful, professional photos to remember this huge moment in your life.
