About this location
Grad sessions at SJSU
San Jose State sits in the heart of downtown San Jose with a mix of historic buildings, open plazas, and architectural details that make for strong graduation portraits. I know the best spots for light at different times of day and how to plan the route so the session stays efficient even during busy ceremony weeks.
SJSU sessions include a $75 travel fee from San Francisco.
May graduation week fills fast. If you have a specific date near your ceremony, send an inquiry early.

Campus locations
Where we shoot at SJSU
Tower Hall
SJSU's landmark building. The brick facade, archways, and surrounding lawn are classic backdrops for both formal and relaxed portraits.
MLK Library Plaza
Clean architecture with modern lines. Good for a different visual texture within the same session.
Campus Quad
Open central space with mature trees and shade — useful for group shots and relaxed individual frames.
Seventh Street
Tree-lined campus boundary with good shade and quiet compared to the main quad. Works well for candid movement shots.
