Avery’s senior session was seriously such a dream. The weather was perfect, the sun was dazzling, and the locations we visited around the Tri-Cities gave us such a dynamic final gallery! Not to mention, I think we may have captured the best sunset of the summer. So, come along, scroll around, and check out this gorgeous senior gallery!
First location: Soccer Field & Basketball Court
So many seniors are involved in multiple sports, and they don’t want to pick and choose which ones to include. When that’s the case, I always recommend taking photos at a local school! It’s empty on the weekends, and we can usually find a great mix of equipment and backdrops. It’s a one-stop shop for all of your sporting needs!
Second Location: River and Desert Extravaganza
My favorite type of locations are ones where you get 2 for the price of one. This is one of my favorite spots in the Tri-Cities, because you get access to the river bank AND a gorgeous, desert road. It’s super accessible and the light is always divine!
Third location: Blooming Sagebrush and Desert Hills
I never truly appreciated the sagebrush around the Tri-Cities until I moved away, and then returned back home. It smells SO GOOD, but it also blooms yellow in the fall, leading to gorgeous splashes of color across the desert landscape! I absolutely adore shooting in desert areas, and I’m always so excited when clients want to visit them.
When the sun sets and the colors of the sky start to play, I get so excited. Of course, not every sunset is perfect, but sometimes you get to capture amazing skies like the one below. Seeing so many summer sunsets is one of my favorite parts about being a photographer. They are truly all different, and I love each and every one!
Thank you, Avery, for trusting me with your senior photos! I had such a wonderful time with you, and I’m obsessed with how your final gallery turned out.
GEAR: Canon R6, Canon 50 mm 1.2 R, Canon 35 mm 1.4
