Averie brought multiple looks and totally different vibes to each one. We started soft and sunny in a flowy yellow dress on the marble steps of the James Scott Memorial Fountain. The light hit just right, and her whole look popped against the white stone like a magazine cover. Clean, classic, and warm—basically, the definition of effortless elegance.

Then came the white dress. Simple. Structured. Powerful. She paired it with blue heels and later added her cap and gown—and let me tell you, those blue tones in front of the golden doors? Unreal. There’s something so iconic about cap and gown shots done right in the city. It wasn’t just a graduation photo. It was a statement.

And if you thought we were done after the formal looks, Averie had one more outfit up her sleeve: high-waisted jeans, bold blue heels, and the most colorful floral top you’ve ever seen. It was playful and full of personality, and she brought that same energy walking through downtown like it was her own personal runway.

What stood out most about this session—besides her absolutely electric smile—was how every photo felt like her. Confident. Kind. Fun. Stylish. She moved through each space like she belonged there (because she totally did), and the city gave us everything we needed to bring her portraits to life.
