Can Palo Alto graduation photos include the Stanford campus?
Stanford graduates can have portraits that honor the place where they earned the degree. Share your preferred campus location, how you will use the images and your ceremony plans, and Angie works within the university’s photography policy for its land. Graduating from another school? An approved setting can tell your story without implying a Stanford affiliation.
Give the portrait session its own schedule
A separate portrait date keeps the session calm and away from ceremony arrivals and family commitments. Have your cap, gown and academic details ready, and decide whether friends or relatives need their own group photographs. Campus walking time and any clothing changes are built into the coverage.

Wide marsh and sky for a landscape-led portrait. Angie checks the city’s applicable photography conditions, and the session stays on approved paths and use areas.
Palo Alto Baylands visitor informationStanford campus, when authorized
The natural setting for a Stanford milestone, planned apart from city park sessions. Angie reviews the university’s filming and photography guidance for your intended location and use.
Stanford campus, when authorized visitor informationLight and seasons
Open-space settings feel big and airy, and they are exposed, so clothing and timing follow the forecast; a still evening is never guaranteed. Light shifts as you walk the designated paths, which keeps the photos varied. For a campus milestone, ceremony schedules, building access and university activity matter more than any general seasonal advice.
Travel and meeting plans
Angie travels from Sacramento by arrangement, and the quote follows your approved setting, coverage and schedule. Name the exact city or campus location in your inquiry, since Stanford, city open space and a private office each work differently.
Some settings need a permit, reservation or fee. Angie confirms what applies to your date before the location is set.
