Elise’s Golden Hour Summer Senior Session At Boerner Botanical Gardens

Golden hour, greenery, and flowers galore for Elise's senior pictures! We met up at Boerner Botanical Gardens for her session, and it was great hearing about her summer and her plans for the future! Fun story, I actually first photographed her yeeears ago when she was a flower girl in her aunt and uncle's wedding!

Anyway, we incorporated her love of volleyball for a few photos, and I got to hear about her recent trip to Florida, concert-going at Alpine Valley, and we chatted about our mutual love of Tennessee 😁 Elise plans on pursuing a career in the medical field, and we wish her all the best!

Golden Hour Milwaukee Art Musuem Senior Pictures | Julia

Julia wanted a city look for her senior pictures, and we met up near the Milwaukee Art Museum where the clean lines, creative angles, and evening lighting were the perfect combination. She wore a black dress with pink strappy heels for a pop of color for her first outfit, and then she changed into a more casual look for photos closer to the water and some dramatic nighttime portraits.
