Downtown Kankakee + Grant Park Senior Photos | Hadleigh | Grant Park High School Senior

This girl is the sweetest, and I can’t believe she’s going to be a senior!!!! For anyone who doesn’t know, Hadleigh is Ashton (my fiance)’s little sister, so of course this senior session was extra special for me! I knew this was going to be so so much fun, but somehow we had MORE fun than I was anticipating!

We began her session getting her hair + makeup done by my awesome beauty team girls. From there, we headed to this super fun + unique building in downtown Kankakee. This building was absolutely perfect for her volleyball uniform photos and her first outfit. Plus, did I mention that her outfits her amazing-I mean, I couldn’t have handpicked them any better in a million years! They varied in color, patterns, and style & I loved it! She even wrote down all of her outfits and accessory combinations before hand and crossed them off as we changed outfits…best idea ever!!

After our first urban Kankakee location, we headed to Momence/Grant Park for the prettiest flower field + sunset combo. You guys, this sunset was to. die. for.

I was screaming on the inside (and probably a little bit on the outside) as I captured that gorgeous light paired with how stunning Hadleigh looked. Trying to choose a favorite to post on Instagram that night was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, haha!

We finished her senior session at her house/property with the most perfect photos with her pond in the background. I just love them so much!! <3
