City Forest in the Fall

City Forest in the fall is simply spectacular. My family and I only just discovered all the trails in City Forest when we were socially distancing last spring. If you haven’t had time to explore all the little biking trails, definitely check them out. While it’s beautiful any time of the year, City Forest in the fall completely knocks it out of the park. And guess what? This is only the third session I’ve ever done at City Forest. Maybe this year I’ll have even more seniors choose this location.

Last time I blogged, I showed you what the first half of Nicole’s session looked like. We went to Dow Gardens, and the leaves were beautiful there as well. She knew she wanted to get the gorgeous fall colors, so I suggested we also go to City Forest. She agreed. And this is what we got…

Outfit 1

First thing I’m going to say is that this sweater of her is perfect for this location and season.

And would you looks at those colors. Oh my. This portrait of Nicole on the left is one of my faves EVER. She’s stunning, and that foliage in the background is perfection.

Nicole’s mom searched high and low for the perfect leaf to use in this shot. When it has a smattering of different colors on it, it’s called ‘variegated’. I didn’t know that until this senior shoot!

City Forest in the fall comes through again. And Nicole’s smile could not be any more dazzling.

Outfit 2

In addition to her blue sweater outfit, Nicole also brought this adorable outfit. After a quick outfit change, we found a few other spots. This session turned out amazingly! Those catchlights in her eyes are brought to you by my reflector and the help of Nicole’s mom.

And I’ll always take a picture with mom if she agrees. Two beautiful women, inside and out.

Here’s what Nicole’s mom had to say about the senior session:

“We were so excited to book Eve for Nicole’s senior pictures! Eve has a natural ability to make everyone feel comfortable. Eve spent time with Nicole beforehand understanding what was important to her. That made a big difference on the day of our session and made everything feel very natural. Eve’s attention to details and light brought out the best in every picture. We are thrilled with Nicole’s senior pictures! They are a beautiful and lasting treasure of this significant time in her life. Thank you, Eve!”

And here’s what Nicole said:

“Eve made my senior picture experience so wonderful! I was very comfortable through the whole session and felt she really was able to capture my personality. The pictures turned out beautiful and I am so glad she was able to take my senior pictures. I wish I could give more stars!”

You two are wonderful, and I had such a good time with you both!

Let's be social!
