Notre Dame Class of 2024


Last spring, I got to photograph many amazing Notre Dame seniors. Each session, I am in awe of the beautiful campus and the amazing seniors setting out on their next adventure.


When I go to campus, I typically spend an hour with my seniors walking around the University of Notre Dame, taking senior photos, and chatting about where they want to take their life.

The campus is huge, so we can't hit every spot in that time, but I try to swing by the most iconic ones. I'll never end a session without going to Touchdown Jesus, the Dome, and the Grotto.


Most of the time, senior girls wear a white dress and boys a suit. I'm not totally sure how this tradition started, but it definitely photographs well! We make sure to include photos with the full cap and gown, just the stole, holding the graduation cap, and more. I love having the stole and cap to play with and add some variety to the galleries.

I love it when my seniors bring additional props as well. Most of the time, it's champagne! I mean, it is a celebratory occasion, after all! I'll occasionally get some guys who bring beers to cheers or a biodegradable confetti popper. If you're thinking about bringing a prop, do it!


I can't wait for 2025 Notre Dame senior session this coming spring. I imagine they'll be better than ever!
