When Emily’s mom approached me about senior pictures, she had a specific vision in mind: she loved the idea of capturing portraits by the iconic old stone bridge in Maeystown, IL. It was the perfect starting point for a session focused on timeless, rustic beauty.

We spent the evening exploring the character of the town, finding incredible backdrops among the historic buildings and ironwork. We even found a stunning open field nearby, complete with weathered stone steps and a peaceful creek running behind it. The mix of historic architecture and natural elements made for a truly unique small town session. Emily was a joy to work with throughout the day. Check out some of the unique portraits we captured in the heart of Maeystown below!
