Dreamy Senior Session at Wildflower Lookout

One of my favorite places to photograph in Lancaster County is a beautiful field full of flowers called Wildflower Lookout. So when a local senior inquired for a summer evening session there, I was beyond excited. This senior was looking for a golden, glowy, and nature-inspired aesthetic. We started out her three-hour session at a private residence in Lancaster, and finished at Wildflower Lookout just as the sun was setting over the fields. I’m obsessed with how everything turned out and can’t wait to show you!

Outfits for Outdoor Senior Pictures

This senior had a soft, feminine style, and chose three different outfits for a mix of casual and formal looks. The first was a classic white dress, perfect for traditional senior portraits. The second added a pop of blue, which matched her personality and added something fun. For the third, she went casual with jeans and a cute top so she would have photos that felt true to everyday life. I also made sure to capture all the little details: her jewelry, a bouquet of flowers, and her gorgeous curly hair!

We started the evening at a private residence to get some photos of her in her classic white dress. The property had so many different backdrops to work with—trees, open spaces, and little tucked-away spots—that gave us a ton of variety before heading to Wildflower Lookout.

Golden Hour at Wildflower Lookout

After finishing at the private residence, we ended the evening at Wildflower Lookout. We timed it perfectly and arrived just in time for golden hour. The sun dipped behind the valley, lighting up the flower fields with warm, glowy light. It was the perfect backdrop for her feminine style and felt like stepping into a summer dream.

Making the Session Comfortable and Fun

My goal in every senior session is to make it fun, relaxed, and easy. I know being in front of the camera can feel a little intimidating at first, but I always focus on helping seniors feel confident and comfortable. Here’s what this senior’s mom had to say about the session:

“Johanna was wonderful to work with. Professional and made my daughter feel comfortable and excited for her senior pictures.”
