Session

Emily knew she wanted some beautiful outdoor senior pictures, but she wasn’t quite sure which location would best fit her vision. Since she wanted something convenient to where she lives, I suggested Konarcik Park, and it turned out to be the perfect choice! Between the towering evergreens and the lush greenery, Emily looked like a total "Pine Forest Queen."

She was a complete natural when it came to posing, making the entire session feel effortless and fun. In addition to her individual portraits, her mom asked to hop in for a few shots together. We captured some of the cutest mother-daughter portraits that I know they will both treasure forever! The mix of the moody pine forest and their sweet connection made this session truly special. View more of her stunning portraits from our day at Konarcik Park below!
