Senior Spotlight: Colby Cummins
Colby’s Senior Story
Colby Cummins is graduating from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Electrical Engineering—a major he switched into recently, determined to finish strong and graduate on time. His hard work has paid off, and now he’s closing this chapter with some iconic senior photos on campus.
Campus Favorites: The UT Tower and Littlefield Fountain
We highlighted the UT Tower and Littlefield Fountain—must-have backdrops for Colby’s session. He also shared a special love for the Turtle Pond and the Engineering Research Building, so those made it onto our shot list, too.
Props That Made It Personal
Colby brought along his UT class ring and a bottle of champagne for a celebratory spray shot. Those little touches helped capture both the achievement and the excitement of this milestone moment.
Beyond the Books
When Colby isn’t studying, you can usually find him playing tennis, reading, or getting lost in epic fantasy worlds like The Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson. He’s also a big fan of musicians like Thom Yorke, Jeff Buckley, and David Bowie, which added another layer of personality to his session.
What’s Next for Colby
Colby hopes to land an engineering job in Houston so he can be close to family and friends. With his determination and adaptability, there’s no doubt he’ll bring the same drive he showed in his coursework to the next stage of his career.
Final Thoughts About Colby’s UT Austin Session
Senior sessions aren’t just about the photos… (shocking I know) it’s also about capturing who you are in this moment. For Colby, that meant a mix of classic UT Austin locations, laid-back style, and a few fun personal touches that told his story perfectly.
