Devon's Graduation for the University of Buffalo - Photographed by Ariel Hawkins Photography

There is just something so special about graduation season. Watching someone celebrate years of hard work, late nights, and big dreams finally paying off never gets old.

I had the BEST time exploring the University at Buffalo campus with Devon this week after she officially graduated from the University at Buffalo. From laughing our way around campus to capturing all of the excitement of this huge milestone, this session was such a fun reminder of how exciting life’s next chapter can be.

Devon, I am SO excited for everything ahead of you and all of the amazing things you are going to accomplish. Your future is so bright and I’m honored I got to document such an important moment in your life.

And hearing these sweet words from Devon and her mom absolutely made my day:

“Ariel did such an amazing job with my college graduation photos! She made me feel completely relaxed and comfortable throughout the entire shoot, and she made the experience genuinely fun. She was so easygoing, organized, and knew exactly how to guide everything smoothly. The whole session felt stress-free from start to finish.” - Devon

“Ariel was an amazing photographer — easygoing, fun, and very professional. She made my daughter feel comfortable and relaxed right away, which made the whole experience wonderful.” - Marie

Graduation sessions are officially in full swing and these moments deserve to be celebrated before the caps, gowns, and memories are packed away. If you’re graduating soon or know someone who is, you can still get in to book your session.
