Martin Ayala, a graduating senior at Chico State, posed for photos at various locations on campus to showcase his upcoming achievement.
Ayala and his girlfriend, Julie Mitchell met Dan Reidel in front of Kendall Hall to take pictures. Reidel asked Ayala if he would help because Reidel said he doesn't take many portraits and he would like to improve his photo portfolio.
Ayala agreed and Reidel told him he was welcome to bring Mitchell.
The soon-to-be former student posed on the Kendall lawn and in the George Petersen Rose Garden, both alone and with Mitchell.

"I didn't realize there would be so many people also taking grad photos," Reidel said. "There was a line just about at every classic location."
After the photo shoot, Reidel connected his iPad to the Eye-Fi card in his camera and showed the couple the pictures he liked best.
"How did you sort through them so fast?" Ayala asked.
Reidel explained that he set the images he liked as protected, and then when he connected the iPad to the card, it uploaded those ones directly to the tablet through an app.
Mitchell gave an actual audible gasp as they swiped through the photos.
"Wow, I really like all of those," she said.
After showing them the photos, Reidel promised to edit and send them via email before heading to Trivia Night at Woodstock's Pizza.
The last photo he showed Ayala and Mitchell, Reidel said wasn't his favorite, but Mitchell thought was "cute."
The couple was smelling a flower in the rose garden, which Reidel said he thought was kind of cheesy, but that he was glad Mitchell liked it.
