This Class of 2025 Senior Portrait experience was bittersweet for me. Miss Adrianna, a senior from Lancaster High School, is the last senior I will photograph from this family. I have had the privilege of watching Miss Adrianna grow up in front of my camera. I believe our first session was when she was 4 or 5. Even at that age, she was full of just the perfect amount of sass and attitude. I adored her sweet smile and stunning blue eyes.
Fast forward to when she was 9 and she took part in my stylized Huck and Harriet shoot. Those gorgeous eyes and over the top expressions were perfection. It was a no brainer that we would recreate a few of those portraits during her senior session.
Adrianna started her portrait experience in the always beautiful Galena Illinois. It's a timeless backdrop for her stunning prom dress. All the architecture and her wardrobe helped create the perfect "french inspired" vibe we wanted, given Adrianna traveled to Paris over the summer.
Our next evening together was FLAWLESS and a photographers dream. Adrianna's Mom booked us a golden hour time slot at the breathtaking New Life Lavender and Cherry Farm. The sunset was perfect and her wardrobe, a flowy gold gown, was in perfect contrast to the purple flowers. This session photographed like a movie trailer. All of the texture, the color, and lighting was spot on to create some gorgeous and dramatic portraits.
Our last evening we spent doing two stylized looks. From a vintage ride at a texaco station to Katie's Garden for a Huck and Harriet recreation. The wardrobe for both sessions were amazing and I loved dramatic red lip.
I thank Adrianna and her family for choosing me to capture this amazing milestone. You have trusted me over the years with so many of your memories and I'm truly blessed to have been part of Miss Adrianna's journey. I wish you the very best as you begin a new chapter. Enjoy.
