One of my favorite things about senior photography is creating images that truly reflect each senior’s personality and the life they’ve built before graduation. While beautiful parks and downtown locations are always fun, sometimes the most meaningful backdrop is simply home.
Craig, a Class of 2027 senior from Amery High School, chose to have his senior session at his family’s property, and it couldn’t have been a better fit.
Craig is a true multi-talented student. During the school year, you’ll find him competing in football, basketball, and track, while also playing the saxophone in the marching band. Outside of school, he loves spending time golfing, fishing, and enjoying everything that comes with life outdoors.
As we wandered around the property, it quickly became clear why this place means so much to him. With horses grazing nearby, chickens roaming the yard, family dogs joining in the fun, and a peaceful lake just beyond the backyard, every stop gave us another glimpse into Craig’s story. It wasn’t just a beautiful location, it was a place full of memories.
Sessions like this are a reminder that your senior photos don’t have to happen at a popular destination to be unforgettable. Whether it’s your family’s lake cabin, a favorite fishing spot, a local park, a farm, or your own backyard, choosing a location that’s meaningful to you always creates photos that feel genuine and timeless.
Craig, thank you for inviting me to capture this exciting season of your life. It was such a pleasure getting to meet your family and explore a place that has clearly played such an important role in your life. I hope your senior year is filled with incredible memories, and I can’t wait to see all that you accomplish.
If you’re a Minnesota Class of 2027 senior looking for photos that feel like you, I’d love to help create a session that’s personal, relaxed, and filled with the places and activities that matter most. The best senior sessions tell your story, and there’s no better place to start than somewhere that feels like home.
