Meeting up with Lina and being her UC Berkeley graduation photographer was an absolute treat. This gorgeous girl is an intelligent, interesting, and beautiful Golden Bear and it was a pleasure to document her graduation. Go Cal!

We wanted to make sure to include some of Cal’s many bear statues in her photos. Special request from Lina’s mom. Definitely happy to do this! So fun to seek out the cute bears… and in such beautiful locations on campus, too!
