Justin | Springtime Adventures

For Justin’s senior pictures, we set out on an adventure across Monroe County, IL to find backdrops that were as unique as he is. We wanted a mix of textures, so we traveled to several standout locations, starting with a vibrant graffiti wall right in his hometown of Columbia, IL.

We also made stops at the historic Salem-Baum Church and the fascinating, abandoned Rock City. Each location offered a completely different vibe, from urban grit to historic charm. Because it was springtime, the trees were that perfect, fresh shade of light green, which looked incredible against the colorful graffiti and the weathered stone of our locations. Justin was great to work with as we hopped from spot to spot. View some of the highlights from Justin’s adventure below!
