Outdoor Senior Pictures
Cece was one of my first 2025 seniors for senior pictures! She found me through a friend who is one of my past seniors.
Cece really wanted her senior pictures in nature spots. Her vision was open fields and a bright, colorful flower spot. So, I went location hunting on a mission to find us some cool spots.
Senior Pictures with Your Dog
Our first spot had these really pretty white flowers. I really loved how simple the spot was. It’s more than just trees and greenery and the flowers really made it pop without being overwhelming. She had this super cute outfit with the pink pants—I just love a pop of pink!! It is a perfect outfit for senior pictures. We also included her dog, Hazel, who literally is the freaking cutest dog ever. We love Hazel. up
A love of my clients get nervous to include their dog because they are fearful their dog won’t behave or they won’t get any good photos. I always tell people that all we actually needs is 5-10 minutes with the dog and we can get so many cute pictures. That is exactly how it went down with Cece and Hazel! We got some cuddly shots and a few of them walking together. When I have a pup in front of my camera, I can’t help but get some shots of the pup too!
Colorful Senior Pictures
I pulled out this thrifted blanket I’d found for a past senior picture session—it added a fun pop of color and went really well with her outfit. Cece is just so stinking cute. She is so sweet and outgoing. I really loved this session with her.
Our next location was our colorful flower spot! I found it on the side of the road—it’s on private property, so I made sure to ask the owner for permission ahead of time. I wanted for her to be able to hold some flowers, but wanted to be respectful of the owner’s property, so I brought a few flowers with me from my home garden I’ve been growing with my Marlee girl. That way we wouldn’t be picking any of their flowers. She had this really pretty white dress to balance the color from the flowers. She is just so dang cute.
The Weather and Senior Pictures
At first, the sun was out and we got to play with direct sun which was really fun. It made for really bright photos that feel sunny. Part way through our time at this spot, the sun hid behind the clouds. It made for the prefect spot where the flowers really popped and the colors so were so so beautiful.
I love, love, love this session. OBSESSED. I am literally getting giddy just looking back at them.
We ended the session at this open field location. Her white top/cream pant combo is SO cute here. I really love the neutral feel of these photos. It’s perfect for senior pictures and Cece’s vibe!
Contrary to what you might think, the weather starting to turn overcast made these photos turn out so pretty. We were almost fighting rain at one point. It really could’ve started raining at any second. The weather and light changing that day gave her loads of variety in her senior pictures. She had some really bright photos, some that felt more neutral, and some that feel a little moody. It might have been a totally different gallery if we shot on a different day.
Volleyball Senior Photos
While we were at this spot, we also got some volleyball senior photos. There was this fence which gave sport-y, urban-y vibes. Cece plays volleyball at Elmwood, so we wanted to include a few volleyball senior photo shots, too.
SENIOR PICTURES
Cece sent me some of the sweetest texts after she got her photos back!! Texts like this are seriously my love language.
