{A Senior Session in a Grassy Pasture}

Some of my favorite evenings of the year happen right in my own backyard…in our pasture! I know I say this every year, but sessions here during August and September has quickly become one of my favorite things! The way the evening light pours through the trees and tall grass gives it a feeling of almost dreamlike. Photographing Mariah here felt extra special, not only because she’s my niece, but also because her natural grace and dainty presence paired so beautifully with this dreamy spot. It was one of those sessions where everything just flowed effortlessly, and every frame felt like a little piece of magic.

Outside of being a Humboldt High School senior, Mariah is full of creativity and talent. She has such a natural love for the arts, whether it’s painting a picture, playing music in band, or baking up something delicious in the kitchen. It’s clear she finds so much joy in creating, and it shines through in her gentle, thoughtful spirit.

When she’s not working on a project, you’ll often find her playing with her cats or experimenting with new dessert recipes. Her future plans fit her perfectly…attending culinary school at Iowa Central Community College, where she’ll get to pour her passion for cooking into something even bigger. I have no doubt she’ll thrive in an environment that lets her imagination and creativity run wild.

Mariah, I loved every moment of capturing your senior photos! You brought such a quiet elegance to the pasture, and the way you carry yourself is truly beautiful. This season of life is so full of promise, and I can’t wait to see the amazing things you’ll accomplish! Never stop leaning into your creativity and sharing your light with the world, you have so much of it to give!
