Sunshine and Fields Senior Session

Sunshine makes such a lovely element in senior pictures. While I do love an overcast senior session, sunshine adds its own special touch and has a place in my heart. Last time, I blogged about Ellyana’s first half of her session in Downtown Bay City. And what a location! We had overcast light there, which made some locations there easier to photograph. I was really hoping for sunshine when we made it out to the nature center. And Mother Nature delivered.

These first two are when the sun was still deciding on whether or not it wanted to make an appearance.

I just love this dress on Ellyana. One of my favorite parts of planning out each session is seeing what my seniors choose to wear. Their wardrobe plays a big role in how their pictures come together, and even on how I choose to pose them.

Ellyana knew she wanted this next dress for being in the fields with the gorgeous wildflowers all around. And adding on a jean jacket added variety to her outfit. Hello, sunshine! We’re so happy you decided to show your lovely face for this senior session.

Ellyana’s smile is incredible, and she is so easy to pose. Look how natural she makes everything appear!

These final two are some of the favorites from the entire evening.

Here’s what Ellyana said about her session: “I absolutely loved working with Eve for my senior pictures!! She was really good at talking me through poses and making me feel comfortable in front of the camera, which helped make smiling and posing feel natural 🙂 She was also really helpful when deciding on outfits and locations for my session, and I loved every product we purchased. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to have their senior pictures done!”

Thank you so much, Ellyana! I wish you the absolute best for your senior year and beyond. <3
