Sarah S | University of Arizona Eller Graduation Session | Palm Walk + Tucson Lifestyle

Sarah brought two looks to her University of Arizona Eller College of Management graduation session and both of them delivered. The formal look on the palm walk with her gold Eller stole, and then a relaxed Tucson tee and jeans for the lifestyle portraits under the trees. Two completely different energies, one incredibly natural subject in front of the camera.

Sarah S is a University of Arizona Eller College of Management Class of 2026 graduate, and her session captured exactly what I love about shooting solo graduation portraits. The formal look shows what she earned. The casual look shows who she is. The palm-lined street and a “TUCSON” tee make it clear she loves both her school and her city, and honestly, that comes through in every single frame.

We started on the palm walk for the formal portraits. White dress, gold Eller stole, red UA sash, hand on hip with the palms creating that signature golden backlit look that the street was literally made for. The Eller stole is a statement on its own and Sarah wore it with the confidence to match.

Then we switched to the lifestyle look for something completely different. A vintage Tucson tee, jeans, and a tree-lined path with morning light filtering through. Relaxed, warm, and completely real. This is the version of graduation portraits that people always say they wish they had done, and Sarah pulled it off effortlessly.

Sarah, two looks and nine frames later, you made every single one of them great. Congratulations, Eller grad and Wildcat. Bear Down, Class of 2026.
