A few weeks ago, I photographed the Miss Clemson University pageant for the 7th year. Hannah was crowned after a super impressive and unique violin performance to Dueling Banjoes and an evening gown presentation worthy of the evening gown award!

Since the pageant was so late in the school year, the semester was over by the time we had her portraits, which is great because the campus was so empty and quiet. I could have her stand in the road in front of the stadium without blocking traffic, and there weren’t a lot of people in the background. This was my first portrait session at Clemson since the stadium’s new scoreboard was finished, and that thing is HUGE! After taking photos here for so many years, I had to find some new angles to show off the scenery here. We were lucky to have a PERFECT spring evening, even though it usually gets hot by this time of year.

The gown that Hannah used for this session was a Sherri Hill gown, sponsored by Dressing Dreams. The purple was fitting for Clemson, and a skirt that big looked amazing on the steps of Sikes Hall! She wore a much shorter orange dress for some of our other photos, and we were so lucky to have the fountains in the Reflection Pond turned on that day, even if they weren’t as high as they normally are.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from Hannah’s portraits as Miss Clemson University! I had such a fun time with her and I hope you love the photos!
