Autumn Waxhaw Garden and Field Natural Senior Pictures

Today’s outdoor natural senior photo session features Ava at Marvin Efird Park in Waxhaw. There is a misconception that there are no flowers in the fall autumn months. This just isn’t true and often we have more color in the fall than we do in early to mid spring. I shoot a lot of senior pictures here year round. Clients choose it because it has all the things. The flower garden, the barn, the field, the beautiful light. It’s rustic and there are so many spots that I can never cover them all in one session. I loved working with Ava because she was so relaxed and carefree. To see what Ava thought of the session and learn more about her, scroll to the end of this post.
