With graduation season upon us, what better way to kick off the celebrations than with a session of a Fresno State graduate. Ashleigh will be receiving her Masters in Social Work from Fresno State in just a few short weeks. Such a huge accomplishment!


There were so many graduates on campus the day of Ashleigh’s session. With graduation so close, everyone was trying to squeeze in those graduate photos. After a year like 2020 it was nice for Ashleigh to be on campus and see so many fellow students. Because of the pandemic, most of her studies were done online.


I spent a lot of my elementary school years on the Fresno State campus. My mom was going back to school part time and took my sister and I with her to school quite a bit. The campus looks a lot different than I remembered so it was nice to rediscover it. 


The library and the Peace Garden made for some really pretty backdrops. The best part is that it’s directly across from her department, the Humanities Building. While it’s not the newest building on campus, the way the light hit the rose lined building made for some stunning photos.


Ashleigh, congratulations on your huge accomplishment. You’ve worked so hard and should be proud. It was such an honor to photograph your grad session.
