Earning a Master’s degree is a massive achievement, and it was a pleasure to document Rachel’s graduation from MTSU University. As a Nashville college graduation photographer, I work with students at every level, but there is a distinct sense of accomplishment that comes with finishing a graduate program. We spent our time on the MTSU campus capturing images that reflected both her hard work and her personal journey.
A Meaningful Tribute
Rachel wore a fabulous blue dress that was perfect for a winter senior session on campus and fit perfectly with MTSU's colors! While the campus provided a beautiful backdrop, the most impactful part of the day was when Rachel incorporated a photo of her late father into the session. It was a incredibly sweet way to honor his memory and include him in her celebration. I’m always moved when clients bring personal items that tell a deeper story—it makes the final gallery so much more than just a set of college senior pictures.

The Graduate Experience at MTSU University
MTSU offers such a clean, classic aesthetic for senior pictures. From the manicured green spaces to the iconic architecture, it’s a favorite for any college student looking for a sophisticated "TN" feel. We focused on getting a mix of lifestyle portraits and traditional graduation shots that Rachel can use for both her personal announcements and her professional portfolio as she enters this new chapter with her Master’s degree.
