This senior session is from a couple of months ago, and with how beautiful it turned out, I wanted to be sure it made it to the blog! Alexis and Dillon are cousins, and they wanted their shoot to be together. How cute are they?! We got plenty of individual shots and several of the two of them together, capturing the unique bond they share as they both embark on their senior year.
We started off in the studio with hair and makeup by Makeup by Daria, and got some beautiful, classic studio shots of each of them. We then made the trek up to Donner Lake for the bulk of their shoot. The contrast with the lake, the snow, the trees… it was SO incredibly beautiful. Donner Lake provided the perfect backdrop for their senior portraits, offering a mix of natural beauty and serene landscapes that perfectly complemented their personalities.
One of the highlights of the day was capturing Alexis and Dillon in some candid moments, laughing and enjoying the incredible scenery. The combination of studio and outdoor shots gave us a diverse range of photos that truly captured this milestone in their lives. Whether it was the elegant studio portraits or the adventurous shots by the lake, each image tells a story of this exciting time as they prepare to graduate.
We had a few delays that made it so we were shooting later than we expected, but that soft golden light just before sunset was absolutely perfect. The golden hour lighting added a magical touch to their senior portraits, making the day feel even more special. It was a reminder that sometimes the unexpected can lead to the most beautiful results.
Such a fun day and such beautiful photos. Scroll to the bottom to check out the beautiful collage they each went forward with!
