A golden evening in early October set the scene for Patrick’s senior session, captured in front of the iconic Dowd Chapel at Boys Town. This location held deep sentimental value for his family—not only because of its timeless beauty, but because it was the same spot where Patrick’s older brother had his senior photos taken. As we walked the quiet paths around the chapel, it felt like a celebration of the journey to come. Patrick brought a calm, grounded energy to the shoot, and it was easy to see how much pride and meaning this moment held. His portraits are a gentle reflection of who he is right now—thoughtful, grounded, and on the cusp of something new.

Throughout the session, we leaned into soft light and architectural lines to create images that felt personal yet elevated. From quiet portraits on the chapel steps to moments of laughter near the tree-lined walkways, the afternoon was filled with ease and intention. It’s always special to document this season of life, but even more so when it holds meaning not only for the senior, but for the family as a whole.
