Senior athletes, you’re more than your jersey. Neala’s Cantigny Park senior pictures are the proof, and the full gallery is here.

Cantigny Park works for senior pictures because one session can move from garden flowers to a waterfall to a gazebo at sunset.

You saw the behind the scenes. Here’s the reveal. Neala is a senior at Prospect H.S. and a standout in soccer and flag football, a true dual-sport athlete. For one evening, she broke from all of that and showed a softer side in front of the camera.

A brown sweater and denim skirt in the flowers. A navy floral maxi in the gazebo. Then the sun went down behind her. (Slide 1. You already know.)

St. Francis H.S. seniors, this is what a magical senior session looks like. Lexi’s full St. James Farm gallery is here.

St. James Farm works for senior pictures because one session can move from a wooden bridge to white fences to tall golden grass.

You saw the sneak peek. Here’s the rest. Lexi is a senior at St. Francis H.S. and my first Senior C.R.E.W. member from St. Francis, and she brought three looks: a white halter romper on the bridge, a black top and light jeans on the gravel path, and a pink maxi that turned the golden grass into a whole moment. (Start at slide 1. Then skip straight to the last one.)

Everything came together that day. The light, the looks, and Lexi.

St. Francis seniors, Lexi set the bar. Now it’s your turn to make a moment like this one.

DM SENIOR to start planning.

Seniors, what if one look is all you need? Megan’s senior mini at Deer Grove East in Palatine says it’s plenty.

Deer Grove East works for a senior mini session because one stop gives you an open field, tall prairie grass, and a quiet road.

Megan is a senior at Palatine H.S. and a standout track star, and she still made time for a quick mini. The sun and light hit just right in every single moment.

One look: a maroon knit vest over a floral dress. She laughed, flipped her hair out on the road, and threw her arms wide in the field. (Last slide. That’s the one.)

Seniors, if you want just a moment, just one look, something unique, let’s talk before fall is over and the light is gone.

Prospect H.S. seniors, here's what a Cantigny Park senior session looks like from behind the camera. Meet Neala.

Cantigny Park works for senior pictures because one session can move from garden paths to a gazebo to the water without ever leaving the park.

Neala is a senior at Prospect H.S., and she gave me two looks: a cozy brown sweater with a denim skirt, then a navy floral maxi dress. Mums, a gazebo, rocks by the creek, the dock on the pond, and one soccer ball that showed up for a cameo. (You'll see it.)

That's me on the ground in the first few seconds. That's where the good angles live.

The gallery is on the way. Class of 2027, if you want a session like this one, now is the time.

York H.S., remember when I said you’d be pleased? Here’s Mathis’s Fullersburg Woods gallery.

Mathis is a sophomore at York H.S., and this was his second shoot with me, a year after his first. He came ready with three looks: a blue plaid blazer over a white tee, a navy sweater with aviators, and a red plaid blazer that lit up the whole forest preserve.

He even brought his hockey stick. (Slide 3. That angle was worth getting on the ground for.)

Stone walls, old wood doors, a fallen log, and sun pouring through the trees. Same kid from last year, a whole lot more confidence.

Parents, photoshoots don’t have to wait for senior year. Link in bio to see how sessions work.

York H.S., who says photoshoots are only for senior year? Here's Mathis at Fullersburg Woods, behind the scenes of his second shoot with me.

Mathis is a sophomore at York H.S. We did his first shoot this same time last year, and a year later he walked into Fullersburg Woods Forest Preserve in a red plaid shirt and looked right at home.

This is the behind the scenes: the softbox, the stone and wood, and me down on the ground chasing the angle. (Yes, I end up on the ground a lot.)

Second shoots hit different. We already know each other, so we skip the warm-up and get straight to work.

The gallery shots are coming soon, and trust me, you'll be pleased.

Follow so you catch the full gallery when it drops.

Seniors, this is just a sneak peek of Kiera's St. James Farm senior pictures. See that smile? That's what it looks like when you're actually having fun.

Kiera is a senior at Fenwick H.S. You saw the pink ruffle dress in the reel. Here's a first peek at another look: a white ruffle top, dark wide-leg jeans, white sneakers, and a whole lot of white fence.

She even hopped up on that fence under the yellow branches with the barn right behind her. (Last slide. Tell me that's not a keeper.)

And this is only the preview. I'm still finishing her full gallery, and there's a lot more where these came from.

Fenwick seniors, ever wonder what a fall senior session at St. James Farm actually looks like? Here's Kiera's.

Kiera is a senior at Fenwick H.S., and we had an amazing fall session out at the farm. A pink ruffled dress, tall golden grass, a gravel path, and one big tree that framed her perfectly.

You'll catch me in there too, down in the grass chasing the angle. (That's where the good ones live.) I'm deep in her gallery right now, and everything is looking amazing.

Here's the good news: there's still time to book your fall session. The not-so-good news? The trees are already letting go.

Hurry before the last leaves hit the ground.

Parents, ever wonder if one location can really give your senior variety? Olivia's Cantigny Park senior pictures say yes. Three times.

Olivia is a senior at Plainfield North H.S., and she came ready with three looks. First, a white halter dress in the garden, leaning on the wood beams with that soft smile. Then a black top and light wash jeans on the stone steps, plus a big laugh by the fall wreath on the front door.

And then the blue dress. A blanket by the pond, a big old tree, and warm light pulling the whole thing together. (Slide 8. You'll know.)

Here's what I want parents to hear. You don't have to drive all over the suburbs to get a gallery with range. You need a location with options and a plan for how to use it, and that part is on me.

Class of 2027, how many more weekends of fall senior pictures weather do you really think we have? A couple. Maybe.

You saw the sneak peek. Here's the full reveal, plus a look the reel didn't show you.

My Senior C.R.E.W. member Carina from Providence Catholic H.S. showed up with full fall inspo energy: an oversized sweater slipping off the shoulder, denim shorts, and tan boots. Put that under a tree glowing orange, and it just works.

Then she tossed a handful of leaves and couldn't stop laughing. (That's the one. You know which slide I mean.)

And then she switched it up. White top, light wash jeans, a field full of flowers, and the sun pouring through the trees right behind her. Same girl, totally different mood.

Cozy and warm. Soft and sunlit. Two looks, one session.

The leaves are already coming down. Let's get yours in before they're gone.
