For Claire’s session, we headed out to the scenic Konarcik Park. While it was a bit overcast at times, the soft, diffused light ended up being the perfect accompaniment for such a meaningful shoot. Claire wanted to use her senior portraits to celebrate a very personal part of her story.

Claire has alopecia, an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss, and she decided she wanted to take several portraits without her wig on. I was so incredibly happy to capture Claire’s natural beauty and strength. She was a total natural in front of the camera and absolutely killed it! The results are a set of stunning, authentic images that truly show off her radiant personality. It was such a privilege to be a part of this bold and vulnerable session.
