Zach took a little bit of time to warm up during his senior pictures, but once he did, he had an awesome time! To keep things relaxed and authentic, we stayed right in his hometown of Columbia, IL. Exploring familiar territory allowed us to find some truly unique locations that reflected his personality perfectly.

We found a beautiful historic home that provided a timeless, textured backdrop for his portraits. We also scouted out a quiet dead-end road, which ended up being the perfect spot for some safe, stylish road portraits. It was great to see Zach’s confidence grow throughout the session! The result was a collection of images that are as effortless and "cool" as he is. Scroll down to see the awesome portraits we captured in these unique locations around Columbia!
