Carter-Finley Stadium:

There's something exhilarating about standing on the turf of Carter-Finley Stadium, home to the NC State Wolfpack football team. Whether you're a sports enthusiast or not, this iconic stadium represents the spirit and pride of NC State. Imagine yourself in your cap and gown, with the stadium stands as your backdrop, symbolizing the victories and challenges you've conquered during your time here. This spot is a go-to for cheerleaders and dance team members, but I recommend it to anyone looking to add a unique touch to their special session.

No NC State graduation photoshoot is complete without a visit to the beloved Belltower. This is one of if not the most popular NC State graduation session spots. Standing tall and proud, this historic monument serves as a timeless symbol of the university's traditions and academic excellence. Let the Belltower be the focal point of your photos, capturing the essence of your academic journey and the countless memories made on campus.

Whether you're posing solo or with friends, the Court of Carolina is sure to add a touch of elegance to your photos. I especially love this location due to the grand steps. This is a perfect place for a group session with all the space it provides.

Holiday Hall:

As the oldest building on campus, Holladay Hall exudes charm and character, making it an ideal location for your graduation photoshoot. Its classic red brick and timeless design provide a beautiful contrast to your modern cap and gown, creating a sense of continuity between the past and the present. The arches make for a beautiful display in the background of your portraits. I also love to encourage graduates to pose in front of the white double doors in their red cap and gown for a nice contrast!

This historic building boasts stunning white marble architecture that adds a touch of sophistication to any photo.
