Senior Session Turns Into A Rainy Day Adventure
Spring in North Carolina can be unpredictable, and Ava’s senior session was no exception! After two rain-related reschedules, we were hopeful that the third time would be the charm. The forecast showed 0% chance of rain, so we crossed our fingers for a perfect day.
The morning started off overcast, but with no sign of rain in sight. As Ava arrived at the studio, a light sprinkle began just as we were bringing in her outfits. Everyone paused for a moment—was this going to be another rain delay? But Ava’s positive spirit and excitement never wavered. "Let’s do this!" she said with a smile, so we moved forward with hair and makeup, ready for whatever the day had in store.
Embracing the Unexpected
With the rain fading in and out, we decided to start indoors at the studio before heading to our next location—a dreamy flower field filled with vibrant poppies. The colors were breathtaking, the perfect backdrop for Ava’s glowing personality and senior portraits.
As we packed up to leave, I double-checked multiple weather apps—still no rain in the forecast. We chatted about everything from mom jeans trends to Ava’s love for being a barista and coffee art. Little did we know, the most unexpected part of the session was about to unfold.
Rain, Resilience, and Senior Session Magic
As we drove to the flower field, the sky opened up with a downpour. The kind of rain that slows traffic and makes you rethink your plans. For a moment, I wondered if we should turn back.
Then, Ava laughed and shrugged. "Maybe I’m just meant to have a rainy day senior session," she said. And with that, we embraced the moment.
By the time we arrived, the rain had slowed to a soft, steady drizzle, and we stepped out into the damp, dewy field. With every twirl, every laugh, and every raindrop caught in her hair, Ava’s session became one of the most unforgettable senior photo experiences ever.
Her seize-the-day attitude turned what could have been a setback into a moment of pure magic. And let’s be honest—some of the best senior portraits happen when you just go with the flow!
The Flower Field Senior Photo Experience
Here at JLP, we believe that your surroundings should reflect your spirit. That's why we're always on the lookout for unique backdrops that speak to you and share your vibe. After all, your senior portraits should be as one-of-a-kind as you are!
For Ava’s vibrant personality and wildflower heart, I knew this stunning flower field filled with colorful blooms was the perfect spot for her to shine. Her senior photo experience was filled with joyful smiles, giggles, and capturing the moment. Ava embraced the moment, and we created some of the most authentic, joy-filled senior photos ever.
The soft drizzle added a dreamy, cinematic feel to her photos, making her senior portraits even more memorable. Her carefree twirls and laughter in the rain truly captured the essence of senior year—beautiful, unpredictable, and full of excitement!
Flower fields are more than beautiful, they are magical. Every senior I photograph in a flower field I can see the inspiration and confidence shine through. I think it is the calming and freedom of just being among the blooms.
Pro Tip: Choosing an outdoor location for your senior session adds a unique and natural touch to your photos!
Why Ava’s Session is a Must-See
From sun-kissed golden hour shots to spontaneous, rain-kissed portraits, Ava’s senior photo session is a perfect example of how the best moments often come unexpectedly. Whether it’s a flower field, a rustic barn, or a scenic open field, I love helping seniors create a unique experience that tells their story.
Adorable Additions To Your Senior Portraits
What is an adorable addition to your senior portraits? A paw-some companion, a fur baby, or a furry friend make the best additions of course. What is a senior photo session without your 4-legged bestie by your side? Enter Ava’s handsome boy stealing the show with every nose kiss, tender cuddle, and wagging tail.
Our portrait sessions are pet-friendly because I understand your furbabies are an important part of your life. So go ahead and plan to bring your furbabie so they can celebrate with you too!
