CSU East Bay Graduation Photographer
Graduation portraits at CSU East Bay with clear direction and a smooth, efficient session. I plan the campus route around light and timing so you're never standing around wondering what happens next.
About this location
Grad sessions at CSUEB
CSU East Bay's Hayward Hills campus has a mix of architectural variety and natural surroundings that photograph well year-round. The hillside setting creates some unique elevation and skyline framing opportunities not available on flat urban campuses. I know the spots that photograph best and how to route the session so we cover variety without wasting time.
CSU East Bay sessions include a $30 travel fee from San Francisco.
Spring commencement at CSUEB typically falls in late May. Send an inquiry early if you need a specific date.

Campus locations
Where we shoot at CSUEB
Meiklejohn Hall
The main academic building with recognizable architecture. Steps, columns, and the surrounding plaza offer classic graduation portrait options.
Student Union Area
Central hub with open space and mixed shade. Works well for group shots and candid movement frames.
Pioneer Heights Overlook
Elevated campus areas with views of the Bay. Adds geographic context and a different visual dimension to the gallery.
Campus Greens
Landscaped open areas with mature trees. Good for relaxed individual portraits away from the main architectural backdrops.
