Over the years I have only ever worked with one additional Evergreen High School prior to Maddison. With a bit of a distance between us in terms of residence I was elated they had found me! Naturally, I had to inquire how it was that she and her mom discovered me and as it would turn out Maddison's mom works with one of my longest standing clients. When it came time to begin planning for Maddison's senior portraits she asked on social media for recommendations. Word of mouth referrals are vital (and SO APPRECIATED!!!) by small business owners and I am grateful that my "forever client" took the time to mention me. After looking thru my previous work, Maddison's mom reached out to get her senior on my schedule!

Living in Northwest Ohio we are fortunate to have a wide variety of metro parks, public beaches, and additional options available to clients when it comes to making a decision regarding location for portrait sessions. Maddison opted for one of my favorite local state parks, Maumee Bay State Park, for her mid summer session. Maumee Bay, a beautiful public park located in Oregon, Ohio is a well known location for area photographers and clients alike. With tall grasses, endless trees, numerous ponds, bridges, "The Big Hill", seasonal wildflowers in bloom, and of course the star of the show...a well kept beach along the shores of Lake Erie - it allows for a wide variety of background options. As a natural light photographer, I love the open sky that always surrounds us at this particular location as well.

Maddison selected my Signature Senior Portrait session which allows for up to 5 outfits. She did a beautiful job of choosing a variety of different looks while also opting for colors that complimented not only her skin tone, but her hair color. While planning for your senior portrait session I am always a phone call or e-mail away from assisting you in choosing outfits that will photograph wonderfully!

Maddison, it was so fun meeting you and sharing in your senior year! Keep shining bright young lady! Below is a collection of my favorites from Maddison's summer session.

Maddison was hopeful there would be some wildflowers in bloom during the time of her session. I arrived early to our scheduled time to scout out the park and was delighted to find this patch of color in beautiful light!

Following her jeans outfit, Maddison opted for the ever popular (and classic!) summer white dress. I love the pop of color the bouquet of sunflowers provides in this set of images!

White linen pants accompanied by a blue tube top made for a fun look!

Summer sessions that end on the beach will forever have a special place in my heart. I love the sounds of the water. Walking barefoot in the sand. And OF COURSE...the warmth and glow of sunsets!

Maddison absolutely knocked it out of the park with her final outfit of the evening! Her long, flow-y, green patterned dress was pure perfection for the beach!

I love a simple close up highlighting client's eyes. I know mamas love 'em too!
