Some sessions just feel like a perfect reflection of the person in front of the camera — and Jayden’s was one of those.
We met up at the North Springfield Dam on a late fall afternoon. After a lackluster season of color, it felt like Mother Nature saved a few bursts of gold and rust just for us. The light was soft, the air had that crisp, quiet feel that always comes at the edge of stick season, and it was the perfect backdrop for this senior milestone.
Jayden brought along two important supporters — his pup and his girlfriend — which made the afternoon feel even more personal. Between the laughter, the moments of calm, and the way his dog kept trying to make the session all about her (as they do), the whole session had this easy, down-to-earth energy that fit Jayden perfectly.
Watching seniors step into this season of “almost there” — balancing the excitement of what’s next with the comfort of what’s familiar — never gets old. Jayden carries it all with quiet confidence, kindness, and a sense of fun that made this session such a joy to capture.
Congratulations, Jayden — Class of 2026 is yours to make something amazing.
