Jessica chose Side Cut Metropark for her session, and it’s easy to see why. This Maumee location is ideal for golden hour photos with its mix of wooded trails, open fields, and riverside views.

Jessica’s Three Stunning Outfits for Her Senior Session


First Look – Casual and Sweet in Muted Pink

Jessica started her session in light-wash jeans and a muted pink top — a classic combo that felt relaxed, stylish, and timeless. This outfit paired beautifully with the soft, natural tones of the park and set a warm, casual tone for the start of our session.
