Where has this year gone to?! August grads were nearly a month ago now, and December graduation spots are getting snapped up very quickly. I photographed five graduates on the only grad day in August this year, and they all proved to be different and fun!
I am not going to waffle on forever... I just want to give you a quick glimpse a wonderful day, where all the graduates were told they are smart enough, talented enough, hard-working enough and good-looking enough to hit the real world! (Their certificates tell them the first three, I tell them the last one).
First up was the lovely Rebecca, her parents, and her amazingly well-behaved dog, Sophie! They say never to photograph animals, but I was so impressed with Sophie and the way Rebecca interacted with her! This was a fun shoot...

You will have seen Tammy Luu on here before... I photographed her graduation in December, and she loved it so much that she booked me straight away for her Masters graduation in August! This time I got to meet her family, all the way from Vietnam! I have a real soft spot for Tammy... she loves getting photos, which makes it so fun for me, and she is always so cute and encouraging!
Kim Kubala graduated with a BCom in marketing and finance, and was pretty excited to be finished all her studies! We had a great shoot with her and her family!
Aleisha Lines and her huge group of family and friends made for a hilarious shoot. I love family dynamics, and you see everything when siblings get together! There was no lack of sibling rivalry, all fighting for the lime-light... and the centre of the photos! These guys were awesome!
Nawaf graduated from a BCom, so he and three of his mates had an early evening shoot before heading out for tea. His friends bought him the shoot as a graduation gift.... lovely eh?!
Thanks heaps to you all! I had a pretty sweet day with you! All the best for hitting the real world with style. Never forget your time at beautiful Otago University! xo
