Senior Pictures at Potawatomi Conservatory - Emily’s Senior Shoot" - A beautiful winter day at one of South Bend’s top spots for senior photos, capturing Emily’s graduation portraits in the stunning greenhouse.

I just love taking your kids’ senior pictures, Michiana! Every time I leave a session, I am encouraged. Our world is in good hands. You are raising tremendous students. In a world where you probably don’t hear that enough, I am seeing it! Be encouraged.

Another beautiful senior! These sessions are such a joy to shoot. Sarah loved the meadow look of her friend’s senior pictures, so she called me to schedule her own portrait session over at Cobus Creek. It’s such a great place to take photos. If you like what you see, you should consider it for your session. It’s always changing with different wildflowers in bloom every time I go. It keeps things interesting!

We had a blast during this Cobus Creek County Park session. We took her older sister’s photos here, and mom said “I love how it looks like so many different locations but you really aren’t walking that much.” This is one of the busiest parks for photos that I go to, and that’s exactly why. Sometimes there is a line for must-have locations, especially in the fall. It’s almost crazy. But, those crushed cement paths, the beautiful meadows, the wildflowers that always seem to be changing, the creek.. it’s a stunner for a reason.

Speaking of stunning, just look at this gorgeous girl.

Celebrating a high school graduation with family photos is a fantastic idea, and this family did it just right! If you have a high school senior, particularly a guy who might not love getting his senior photos taken, consider a family photo session instead. You’ll capture the love and connection that will last a lifetime – and your graduate will have updated photos to cherish while heading off to college.
