Ayo and his family
UCLA, Los Angeles, CA
I recently had the privilege of photographing an incredible family celebration at UCLA. The graduate was a remarkable man who had just completed a dual-degree MBA program after a year and a half of hard work. What made this session truly special was the presence of nearly 20 family members who flew all the way from Singapore to celebrate his achievement!
It quickly became clear that this session wasn’t just about capturing traditional graduation photos—it was much more like a family reunion. With his two adorable daughters running around and filling the air with laughter, the shoot was filled with warmth and joy. The love and connection within this family were palpable, and I couldn’t help but be moved by the deep bonds they shared.
The lively energy of the little ones, combined with the pride of his extended family, turned this session into a celebration not just of his academic success but of family, love, and togetherness. Capturing these moments felt like documenting the heart of what truly matters: the people who support us along our journey.
