Chapman University Graduation Photos: Twin Session for Zach & Charlotte - Class of 2025!

A joyful spring graduation session celebrating twin siblings, school spirit, and bright futures — all captured on the beautiful Chapman University campus in Orange, CA.

This spring, I had the absolute pleasure of photographing a very special Chapman University graduation session — a double celebration for twins Zach and Charlotte! As a photographer based in Orange County, CA, sessions like these are the heart of why I love what I do: personal stories, meaningful milestones, and moments that deserve to be celebrated in style.

Zach and Charlotte are recent graduates of Chapman University in Orange, California, and each brought their own amazing energy, accomplishments, and future dreams to this session.

Zach, a proud student-athlete and four-year member of the Chapman swim team, graduated from the Argyros College of Business and Economics. Balancing the demands of collegiate athletics and a rigorous academic program is no small feat, and Zach made it look effortless. His focus, determination, and warm personality were evident throughout the shoot — and he’s clearly ready to dive into the next chapter of his life (pun intended!).

Charlotte, a driven and brilliant STEM graduate from the Schmid College of Science and Technology, is heading down an exciting path toward veterinary school, with plans to earn her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. One of my favorite things about Charlotte? She came prepared with biodegradable confetti cannons — a fun and festive touch that was also eco-conscious. It’s always refreshing to work with grads who want to celebrate responsibly and thoughtfully.

Pro Tip: Weekday Graduation Sessions Make All the Difference

We scheduled this Chapman University senior session on a weekday — and what a smart move that was. Campus was calm, peaceful, and nearly empty compared to the usual weekend crowds. Most Chapman grads want to take photos at the same iconic locations on campus (hello, Memorial Hall and the Wilson Field gates!), and weekends can mean long waits at each popular spot. By choosing a weekday, we were able to move smoothly between locations, get more variety in less time, and truly enjoy the experience without the pressure of lines or background distractions.

A Picture-Perfect Ending

This twin graduation session was full of joy, pride, and celebration — and it was such an honor to capture it. Zach and Charlotte, congratulations on all you've achieved. Your hard work, kindness, and bright futures made this one of my favorite Orange County graduation photo sessions this season.

Whether you’re a Chapman senior planning your own graduation photos or a proud parent wanting to document the milestone, I highly recommend considering a weekday session and bringing along a few personal touches (like those biodegradable confetti poppers!) to make your session uniquely yours.
