Congratulations to UVA Class of 2020, my Hoos, it’s finally time to take your UVA graduation portraits!!

So you’ve decided to have your pictures taken which is kind of a big deal because I mean how often do we all really have our pictures taken?! One of the first things your mind probably goes to is “Oh gosh what do I even wear?” If you’re anything like me, a million questions run […]

Every year I love getting the chance to go back to UVA for taking graduation pictures! I can’t believe I get to do that as my JOB now!! It always reminds me of exactly what it felt like when I was graduating two years ago and reminds me of how far I’ve come since then! […]

GMU Graduation Portrait Photography and Senior Photography Session at George Mason University by Manali Photography

Jontell’s Downtown Fredericksburg Portraits I met Jontell in person last week and took some quick portraits in Downtown Fredericksburg! It was so nice to be able to talk to her in PERSON about all things business instead of over Messenger & FaceTime (as much as I love how convenient technology makes this). I so wholeheartedly […]

My brother Sohum and I are only two years apart so when he joined me at college at UVA it felt natural and like we were both just in the next phase of life. From growing up asking if we’re twins or if he’s older than I am, to his maturity as well, I’ve always […]

Because of how CRAZY the day was, I didn’t even get to appreciate this until when I was in Lightroom editing my heart out being SO happy with how the shoot turned out the night after! The whole team really rallied despite less than ideal (aka 30-40 mph wind gusts and cold!!) conditions for a […]

VT graduation was SUCH an important and memorable time because Sachi, Lori & Kunal graduated!!! I loved getting to celebrate with them & their friends and take ALL the pictures!! They had a GIANT group of friends travel from all over to come watch them graduate, it was so touching to see <3

I got so lucky as to visit VT a couple of days before all the graduation festivities began to take Shivani’s graduation portraits! Shivani, I wish you the best of luck in the next chapter of your life, I can’t wait to hear ALL about it whenever we catch up with the other “goats” this summer! And I’m so very sure that you’re going to make another incredible set of friends wherever you go and that you’ll become their “glue” as well!
