Rylee – CSU Class of 2025 | Colorado State Graduation Pictures | College Senior Portraits

May 14, 2025

If you follow my work you may already recognize Rylee. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing her numerous times. I have done family photos, her high school senior photos and cap and gown session. It was great catching up with her four years later for these Colorado State graduation pictures as well. We met up at the very popular CSU “oval” for the majority of her session. We finished up at the CSU trial gardens for her sister Addie’s high school cap and gown session. When I say the oval was busy, I mean insane! This was so close to graduation, everyone was getting their photos taken. I ended up photoshopping probably 10 people out of the background of some of the photos by the admin building. We made it work though, and managed to get so much great stuff!

Rylee wore a white dress with a bow detail for her photography session. No surprise there, that seems to be such an essential staple for this generations senior portraits (high school and college alike). She paired the dress with some simple beige heels, and had a bunch of graduation garb and props as well. Her CSU stole she wore the most. She added her cap, tassel, and graduation gown here and there for photos. She also had numerous colored cords representing various achievements. Rylee also had a special stole for her Colorado State sorority. Most college graduates want to celebrate by spraying champagne. I’m here for it! These photos are always really fun and so full of energy. Her mom also brought a cute, sparkly 2025 decoration and a biodegradable confetti cannon.
