Spring is coming which means another school year is coming to a close! I absolutely LOVE senior sessions. It is such an exciting time in their lives. It's a step into adulthood. Into becoming a true individual, making their own rules and decisions. Learning from mistakes and having new adventures. It's the absolute best! Doing a senior session is not like school photos. It's a custom session to show off your personality. We choose a location together finding one that

Working with Abbi for her senior photos was such a delight! This girl is as beautiful inside as she is out!!! We selected Fabyan Park in Geneva for her session because it was the perfect balance of nature. Honestly, it's probably one of my favorite places to take photos, mine and like every other photographer in Chicago suburbs. It's rare to visit this location and not find at least one or two photographers. Abbi has her sights set on Iowa State in the fall and I have no

This gorgeous girl was a natural in front of the camera! I loved spending time with Brianna and seeing her Mom after so many years. Ironically, her Mom and I went to high school together. Crazy to think she now has a teenage daughter. I KNOW we aren't THAT old LOL Brianna did a fantastic job selecting both a causal and dressier outfit. I loved her color choices for fall. So on point! Great job, Brianna! This was a wonderful warm up to your senior photos next year!!! #

I'm going to be playing a little catch up on my blog for the next few weeks beginning with this lovely lady. Miss Erica, class of 2019, will be graduating this spring from Rosary High School in Aurora. We had so much fun exploring the beautiful Riverwalk area of downtown Naperville. Next year Erica will be attending Illinois State University. Congrats girl!!! Enjoy your last few months of high school. They are the best!!! #seniorphotography #seniorphotographer #bjpsenio

For Nikolina's senior photos, we spent a beautiful evening in downtown Naperville switching between the urban vibe and the serene river walk path. It is always so much fun to explore. No matter how many times I have photographed a location every time I find a new hidden gem. For Nika's photos we found this cool row of stairs that reminded me of a New York City vibe and a beautiful mural that Nika especially loved. A recent grad from Glenbard North High School, Nika will at

Last night's senior session was a little touch and go with weather (gotta love that Chicago unpredictability!), but it ended up working out in our favor. What a beautiful spring evening. Everything is finally beginning to color making St James Farm a lush background for Senior Photos. I met Jenny, her Mom and her good friend Izzy at St James Farm for part one of her photos. We walked around laughing and talking musicals nonstop. After graduating from Metea Valley High Sch

With her sites set on Cosmetology school, Ashley has just days left of childhood before graduating from Manteno High School. Her plan is to take a year off before attending Cosmetology classes, but for a few more days she is still a high school senior, class of 2018. When I asked her what was one of her favorite moments in high school she replied, "homecoming". Being a cheerleader Ashley attended a lot of sports activities, including the big homecoming football game, but t

In just a blink of an eye Holly will be graduating from a large senior class at Bradley-Bourbonnais Community High School (BBCHS). Although Holly did not do any extra curricular activities in school, she was a very dedicated ballerina outside the school walls. Plus, I personally think she should add modeling to her list of accomplishments because I have seen her portfolio. She's a natural! After high school Holly hopes to attend Rush University to pursue a career as a Cer

I absolutely love senior photos! It is such an amazing milestone moment in a person's life going from childhood to adulthood. So many
