Cameron Senior Photos. Downtown Toledo. Class of 2018

I would be lying if I said that senior photos were not one of my favorite things to shoot. High school seniors are at this incredible time in their lives when they are starting to explore the world and decide who they want to be. The awkward junior high stage is over and they are almost ready to take their place in adult life. Many go to college and others get jobs right after graduation. Being a senior is a truly defining time of life for most of us.

Cameron's mom contacted me and said her daughter had seen my work on my Instagram account and wanted me to do her senior pictures. We scheduled her session and decided on downtown Toledo for our shoot. Cameron is a senior at Toledo School for the Arts which is located downtown.

Our first stop was Middlegrounds Metropark. Middlegrounds is a fairly new addition to the riverfront in Toledo, combining the urban with the natural. After Middlegrounds, we headed to Adams Street to view some of the amazing murals painted there. We also stopped at the Toledo Lucas County Main Library for a few great shots outside the building. Cameron's session truly displays the diversity that can be found in Downtown Toledo.
