Annalise | Celebratory Master's degree graduation photo session

Annalise recently graduated with her Master’s degree from the University of Illinois, after also completing her Bachelor’s degree at the school. Since she didn’t get a commencement ceremony, she wanted to document this important time with a photo shoot around campus at some of her favorite and most meaningful spots.

First stop was Grange Grove — a new favorite with the upgrades to Memorial Stadium and the athletics department branding updates over the past few years!

Stop two was the Round Barns on St. Mary’s Road. Annalise received both of her degrees from the College of ACES, so this was a no brainer!

Her studies were focused on poultry nutrition so she spent a lot of time in the Animal Sciences Laboratory. Stop number 3!

Our fourth stop was the Hallene Gateway, which welcomes people to campus along Lincoln Ave. where it meets with Illinois St. It’s another favorite spot, especially with the fountain in the background.

The fifth and final stop was Annalise’s backyard just a couple miles off campus, surrounded by cornfields, another nod to her agricultural degrees. Congrats, Annalise!
