We laughed so much during this Santa Clara Grad photoshoot because this grad is a hilarious human being and her dad posing in some of the photos for this session was just too cute showcasing the kind of relationship they have!

The grounds at Santa Clara University are so beautiful in the spring! With the intricate architecture of the Mission de Asís to the vibrant, colorful blooms of the Mission gardens, this is definitely a wonderful spot to photograph!

Our grad shared that her dress was worn for both her Junior and Senior High graduations (which is truly amazing how well kept it was!) along with her shoes from her Senior High graduation! We loved all of the sentimental details she had as well as the intentionality behind every single one.

Her dad stepped in for a couple photos and it was so cute watching their relationship shine behind the lens! We couldn't help but laugh when they tried to make a heart together with their arms – we've never had a parent step in for a college grad photoshoot but think there might be something to this moving forward!
