Adriana Arguijo Photography is officially 8 years old! 🎉

It’s hard to put into words what 8 years feels like, but what I do know is how grateful I am. This art form has connected me to the coolest people, places, and moments that have shaped me and reminded me why I was meant for this from the very beginning <3

Earlier this year out of plain curiosity, I decided to start calculating how many shoots I’ve done since the start of my business — personal projects, portrait sessions, events, travel, both paid and unpaid, etc.

- 598 photo sessions
- 393 events
which add up to a total of 991 shoots.

Looking at those numbers is a bit dizzying, I’m not gonna lie :,) but I remember every single client who took a chance on little teenage me, and every person who’s collaborated with me in recent years. It means THE WORLD to me that people trust me to document their memories, and I feel so lucky to have found my calling. Not only has it opened numerous doors for me, but it has also been a tremendous source of peace whenever I’m unsure of my next step. I’m so excited to keep growing and sharing ☺️

Thank you, thank you, thank you 💜

Thankful for my high school seniors who introduce me to the coolest locations!

For Helen’s senior photos, she suggested we meet at Manning State Forest in Billerica, MA — which I’d never been to, but I ended up loving it! A very peaceful place that also complemented Helen’s vibe so well ✨

There’s nothing quite like the Public Garden in early fall! I’m definitely gonna miss these greens 💚

My favorites from Natasha’s senior session back in September ☀️🌳

Tyler, The Creator’s “30 Minutes of Chromakopia” at Converse HQ in Boston 🎤

Ashley & Anthony are a prime example of that trust. Not only have they always been supportive of my art, but they’ve also become dear friends of mine. Getting to witness their love for each other and their loved ones on their wedding day filled me with so much joy!! Y’all don’t even know how many times I had to shoot through my viewfinder with tears in my eyes 🥲

Thank you for everything @lexxikitten @anthonycreary3340 🫶🏽

@isabel.s.larosa at @brighton_music last month ❤️‍🔥

Still catching up on sharing the shoots I had in late August + September! Here are my favorites from Kiran’s senior session in Walpole :)

Gabriella graduated from Harvard with her Master’s in History of Art and Architecture in 2022 and is currently working on her PhD dissertation. I’ll never get used to how cool it is to meet all kinds of graduates and hear about their passions — this shoot was no exception!

I had so much fun exploring Beacon Hill and the Public Garden with Devin this summer! 🥰

I admire that Devin referenced his musical theatre background with his tap shoes in a few photos, as well as his love for Boston in general. It made the full experience so much more celebratory and personal! 

Thanks @devincurley_ for trusting me with your vision 🫶

Back in August, I had the opportunity to photograph a live table read of Foley Ellis Ibidapo's screenplay "Daddy Mode" at The Rockwell!

It's so inspiring to see stories come to life and be invited to document the creative process. Thank you to Foley, Nicole Hollis-Vitale, and Heather Whitty for having me! I'm excited to see this project continue to unfold ✨
