Golden Hour Sunrise Graduation Photos at Indiana University

January 20, 2026

I got to meet up with Mahak for her sunrise graduation photos at Indiana University and we got epic golden hour lighting!

We started at the Sample Gates and then made our way to the Rose Well House. We finished on the front steps of the Indiana University bookstore before Mahak needed to go to class! There were several others who were also taking grad photos at the Sample Gates, but that didn’t stop us! It was also pretty chilly, but Mahak was a champ and you can’t tell she was freezing in her beautiful dress and heels! The cap and gown helped a bit so we incorporated those a good amount throughout her photos. We got so many amazing photos and I love how they all turned out!

If you’re interested in booking your own grad photos, head to my contact page to get started! For 2026 graduation sessions, I’m only taking fifteen since I am due with my first baby in early April. I am working on an associate option for anyone who wants my style of editing if I’m not able to be there myself though.

I absolutely love capturing this special milestone for college grads and I’m so grateful that so many have trusted me to do so!
