2023 Graduation Portraits

Lifestyle and Portrait sessions for this years graduates.

Graduation Portraits, tailored to you.

Graduation photos shouldn’t feel forced or unnatural—they should be tailored to you! All students who sign up for portrait sessions choose their own locations, changes of clothing, props, friends, and anything else! Graduation photos should be a celebration of YOUR accomplishments, and the people that helped you get to where you are today.

Photographed and edited by a fellow student!

About me!

Sports, Music, Clubs, or anything in between.

As a lifestyle and journalism photographer, I specialize in capturing images other than portraits as well! Do you play a sport? Maybe you’re an art or music major? I have experience photographing NCAA sports, concerts, and many other activities. Your sport or activity can be captured in a special way!

Finding Nemo vibes "Don't touch the butt" This week's cover photo for the Catalina Islander, followed by some underwater pictures. Always like toying around with a camera in new environments. #underwater #catalina #catalinaphotography #
Surfing at the wedge is not for the weak. With a pretty big swell coming in this weekend, I remembered I had some fun shots of people totally eating it last year. Check out more of my surf photography at fickephotograhy.com. #canon5dmarkiii #c

Broadway comes to Seal Beach While COVID-19 has made musicals and concerts a thing of the past, 12-year old Jenna Curry seemed to take the saying "the show must go on" quite literally. The show does go on--every Sunday evening on her bal

Milky Way from Catalina Our galaxy, shot from Catalina Island. Because Earth is around 25,000 light-years away from the galactic center, that's technically the oldest picture I've ever taken. I took this on my #canon5dmarkiii, using my #canon1635mm
Rose Parade 2020 Pt.2 A couple pictures I took last year at the 2020 Rose Parade. I was planning on going again this year... For those of you missing the Rose Parade this morning, feel free to check out the pictures I took at last year's rose parad
Last of 2020 One of my better sunset shots this year, taken on May 24, 2020 in Seal Beach. For many this year was a rollercoaster, but it made for some good photography. Visit fickephotography.com to view all of my 2020 photojournalism and portrait

Surfing in November It's been awile since I've shot any athletics or sporting events after the pandemic hit last march (everything got cancelled!). I needed to touch up on my action shots, and got some good ones a couple weeks ago of @abbyjoyd ,a
