I absolutely love our city! I am so blessed to live in such a gorgeous place! There are so many amazing spots for senior portraits right around where we live. Riverfront Park is no exception! This season is my favorite with all these amazing colors and neat backgrounds we stumbled upon. This guy totally rocked his senior session! I may have laughed even harder with him and his mom than I did with his sister during her senior portraits last year. And that’s saying something!

I have been blessed to keep this tradition going for this sweet family and they are so much fun to hang out with! We decided to climb over a wall at the Riverfront Park one point and down a muddy bank for a killer shot! I got my shoes soaked crossing the river to get some of these shots and it was totally worth it! We finished it off with Zac giving his mom a piggy back ride back over the water (which was hilarious!). Never a dull moment! I always say if I don’t leave a session covered in a little dirt or water it wasn’t very adventurous! My favorite line from his mom, Aimee, as we are both making sure to pull out his genuine smiles and laughter, “Don’t give me that Kool-Aid smile! Smile for real!” Haha!

I just absolutely adore them and can’t believe yet another one is already into their senior year of high school! Congrats, Zac!
