Ellie, Waterford School | Utah Wildflowers Senior Portraits
Amanda Nelson Photo Blog

3M ago
Meet Ellie! The adorable 2022 graduate from The Waterford School. We wanted to capture the magic of Utah summers in the mountains, so we visited one of my favorite trees with the perfect backlighting. We then moved higher up to capture the last bit of wildflowers in the mountains. This magical little patch was just the ticket. You would never believe that this next group of images were taken on the side of a parking lot and that I was propped on some poor innocent bystander’s car to get the perfect angle.

Ashton graduated from The Waterford School last June. Her hair and makeup artist’s studio has THE VERY BEST urban backgrounds. Every corner we turned gave us another amazing spot to photograph. When she came out in this black and white skirt, I died! It was perfectly dramatic for an urban setting. She brought along a cap and gown, which was so fun! I photograph a lot of seniors who don’t wear cap and gowns at commencement so I loved the opportunity. We finished on a rooftop at sunset. I am in love! Book Your Session Class of 2022!

Meet Claire, a graduate of Olympus High School Covid Class of 2020. After her senior year was cut short, we photographed her on a beautiful spring day last year. The purple lilacs were in full bloom. Is there anything more intoxicating than the smell of lilacs? I would argue no. We caught the apple blossoms during the most beautiful late evening sun. Her entire session was just dreamy – exactly how a spring session should be. Book Your Session Olympus High School Class of 2021! There are only a handful of open sessions left before graduation.
