{C} just graduated and is heading to law school! But first we did graduation photos at the California Botanical Garden, followed by more Claremont Colleges grad photos nearby.

Starting Graduation Photos at the California Botanical Garden

The California Botanical Gardens are a special and hidden gem in Eastern Los Angeles County. It’s located right north of the Claremont Colleges, which is where we went for the second half of the graduation photography portrait session.

Claremont Colleges Grad Photos

After graduation portraits at the California Botanical Garden, we headed over to the Claremont Colleges for more grad photos. I think it’s considered one of the more beautiful college campuses un Southern California. Our recent grad actually graduated from UCSC, but her family is here locally in the Claremont area, which made the family photos much easier.

Claremont Colleges Family and Graduation Photography

This is a great example of a graduation portrait photography session done in two locations in Claremont: the California Botanical Garden and the Claremont Colleges. Being from San Dimas, we consider the City of Claremont to be in our neighborhood. They are both local treasures and amazing for both grad photos and family photos. You can see many more examples of our work on our website, including many more examples of grad photos.
