There’s something magical about golden hour in Atlanta, especially when you pair it with a high school senior session full of laughter, sunlight, and style. Sienna’s summer senior session in a beautiful Sandy Springs Atlanta park was everything you could hope for—fun, relaxed, and filled with energy!

A Summer Glow and a Joyful Spirit

Sienna arrived ready to shine. From the first few minutes, it was clear she was full of life and ready to have fun in front of the camera. She had saved a few favorite poses from an Instagram account she loved. We had such a great time recreating those moments together. It gave the session a personal touch that made everything even more special.

Two Outfits, Two Vibes

Sienna brought two gorgeous outfits that perfectly captured her personality. The first was a short white textured dress with ¾ sleeves, a classic and summery look that popped beautifully against the greenery and warm light of the park. For her second look, she switched into a sleeveless floral top paired with jeans—casual, cool, and effortlessly stylish. Both outfits worked beautifully with the soft golden light of the evening.

A Mix of Posed and Candid Moments

Throughout the session, we blended posed shots with fun, spontaneous moments. Sienna was open to all my suggestions and added her own flair to every pose. Her energy and willingness to explore different looks made for a diverse and dynamic gallery of images. We made sure to capture her genuine personality—from joyful twirls and confident smiles to those quiet, thoughtful moments.

Celebrating Her Senior Year with Marist Pride

One of the highlights of the shoot was when Sienna brought out a banner from her high school, the Marist School. It was such a fun way to add a personal and celebratory touch to her senior portraits. Including details like this helps tell the full story of this special time in her life.
