Chicagoland Photographer | Ava - Class of 2020 at Hamstra Gardens

I loved our Session at Hamstra Gardens with Ava. Hamstra Gardens is a privately owned property, immaculately groomed with a lot to discover. At the same time it’s small enough to make it easy to roam around and find amazing spots for portraits. Ava is such a natural beauty who just had fun with it!

18. Why do you think it's important to do senior portraits? What was the best part?:

I think they’re important because it represents who you are as a person right now. It shows your beauty, style, and personality wrapped into pictures. The best part was definitely expressing myself in the pictures. I felt like myself!

We had such a fun evening. Some of these shots look like they are taken on some sort of a fancy vacation. I loved all the outfits and how they fit with each backdrop.

Ava is an amazing girl with a great head on her shoulders. She is bubbly, easy going and kind. Not sure if she is aware just how stunning she is! At school she is also involved with the Buddies Program and Unified Track. She represents everything I am looking for in my Seniors, knowing who she is but open to discover herself and helpful to others. So happy she wanted to be one of my 2020 Brand Models!

Enjoy Senior year and I can’t wait to have more fun with you!
