About this location

Grad sessions at USF

USF has one of the most visually distinctive campuses in San Francisco — St. Ignatius Church, the Lone Mountain steps, and the view corridors toward the city skyline all photograph exceptionally well. Being located in San Francisco also means no travel fee and the flexibility to add nearby locations if you want more variety in the gallery.

No travel fee for USF — all San Francisco campus sessions are included.

USF commencement is typically in late May. Early inquiries are recommended for peak spring dates.

Campus locations

Where we shoot at USF

St. Ignatius Church

The architectural centerpiece of USF. The steps and facade are classic for formal portraits, and the interior light is beautiful for detail shots.

Lone Mountain Steps

Iconic location with panoramic views of San Francisco. Works especially well in late afternoon and golden hour.

Kalmanovitz Hall

Modern architecture with clean lines and shade. Good option for a different visual texture within the same session.

Campus Green / Quad Area

Open lawn with good shade from mature trees. Relaxed and versatile for group shots or candid frames.
