Senior year is full of moments that feel big and fleeting all at once, and this session at Whitetail Woods was the perfect reminder of just how fun this season of life can be. Between the warm light, open trails, and relaxed pace of the evening, everything came together in the best way.
Whitetail Woods is one of my favorite locations for senior photography in Minnesota, especially during golden hour. The tall grasses, winding paths, and soft sunset light create a natural backdrop that feels effortless and timeless. It is the kind of place where seniors can move, laugh, and just be themselves without feeling stiff or overly posed.
This session was full of genuine smiles, easy confidence, and that unmistakable senior-year energy. From walking the trails to soaking in the last rays of sunlight, every moment felt natural and joyful. These are the kinds of sessions that show how senior photos can be more than just pictures. They can capture personality, freedom, and excitement for what is ahead.
A huge thank you to Nyhus for capturing all of the golden hour goodness and helping bring this session to life. Having the right light, location, and timing makes such a difference, and this evening at Whitetail Woods delivered all three.
If you are planning senior photos in Minnesota and want a session that feels fun, relaxed, and true to who you are right now, Whitetail Woods is a location worth considering. Senior year goes by quickly, but photos like these help freeze this season in the best way.
