And sometimes we can use the large crowds at Disneyland to our advantage, using a technique called shutter drag.

And here is another angle of the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland, near the Sleeping Beauty Wishing Well.

And it’s always fun for any age to catch a ride on the Merry-go-round, also known as the King Arthur’s Carousel at Disneyland.

And here is us just having a little fun in toon town with our recent grad.

And where better for a fan of Star Wars to get Star Wars themed graduation photos? In front of a life-size Millennium Falcon!

And we can never leave out Mickey Mouse.

After grad photography at Disneyland, we hopped over to California Adventures to end the portrait session.

This is such an amazing Disneyland grad photo.

And then we hopped over to Cars land

This is a great collection of grad photos at Disneyland. We have lots of examples of photography at Disneyland, so make sure to check out the many other blog posts we have about Disneyland, California Adventures, and graduation photography in Orange County

There is this amazing spot for graduation photography at UC Irvine, where there are the arches covered in green, leafy vines. It creates an awesome frame to any grad photo, and has a disappearing point due to the many linear arches. When given the chance, we love to squeeze in extra photos with family members. Here is one of our soon-to-be graduate with his parents, and then individual photos with the mom and dad.

And of course we have to get our UCI grad walking it out underneath the arches.

Here is a closeup of the UCI stole for the year of 2025, along with the cap and gown.

And we LOVE using flowers and greenery to add to a photo. In this case, some star jasmine was blooming and made a great foreground. The background has some of the many scenic trees on the Irvine campus.

Here is a really cool grad photo of the Samueli Science and Engineering building. We love how the glass reflects some of the blue in the sky.

And more UCI graduation photography in front of the engineering building.

And you can’t represent UC Irvine without any anteaters. They do make the cutest plushies in any UC gift store.

And of course we found even more mustard yellow flowers, which grace the rolling hills of Irvine in the springtime.

And if there is a swing, there is an obligation to take a grad photo on it!

We do many photography portrait sessions in the city of Irvine, which you can find on our blog. The university campus for UCI is yet another beautiful place and perfect for a recent or soon-to-be graduate.
