Cap and Gown

Kara’s UNC Chapel Hill Cap & Gown Session | Apex Friendship Graduate

June 24, 2026

There’s something special about taking your cap and gown photos on the campus where you’ll soon be making new memories.

This time, Kara wasn’t just visiting as a high school senior, she was stepping onto the campus she’ll call home this fall. I first photographed Kara during her senior portrait session last year, and it was so much fun to reconnect for this final chapter of her senior year. (You can see Kara’s full senior session here!)

We started at the iconic Old Well and then we made our way to the Bell Tower – another UNC favorite that provided the perfect backdrop (that blue tiled ceiling!) for photos celebrating both her accomplishments and her future.

Congratulations, Kara! Thank you for allowing me to document both your senior year and this exciting milestone. I can’t wait to see all that you accomplish as a Tar Heel!
