An Evening with Ava – Senior Session Magic


Ava and I planned for an evening in one of my favorite local spots—plenty of natural light, a hint of breeze, other than a little chill, it was a perfect night. But when we arrived… the park was PACKED. I thought it was a wedding party for sure, but no... the place was crawling with prom students! Dressed in full glam, posing, laughing, and pretty much taking over every corner of the gardens.

We gave them some space (and enjoyed the energy, honestly), but once the crowd started to clear, it was game on. Ava was a natural in front of the camera—graceful, and glowing. She had these beautiful dresses, but realized she’d forgotten earrings. No big deal—she borrowed my pearl studs, and honestly, they were the perfect finishing touch.

We moved through our favorite spots with ease once the crowds left. The quiet after the prom rush gave us the perfect vibe—peaceful, focused, and fun!
