Senior Portraits near Cumberland, MD | Erin

Helpful, compassionate, and sincere. Three words used to describe this lovely 2021 senior attending Mountain Ridge. In my brief experience and time capturing such a momentous occasion in her life, I would definitely have to agree with those three words!

Our session began along Evitts Creek. Erin wanted some water shots without actually submerging herself in the water.

I love when clients want to get a little daring! Though she didn’t go into the water herself, I was able to strategically pose her on a rock above water level to give her the senior experience she wanted!

Erin plans on attending ACM for her general classes but wants to transfer out of state in the future. Her primary focus of study will be environmental science! It seems fitting with such a compassionate heart!

After cooling off in the water on the hot summer day, we made our way to a field where I brought my Egg Chair to get some unique shots! I mean, you saw them right?! How whimsical is that look!

Keep an open mind when new opportunities arise.

Julie adores her daughter Erin and her favorite memories of her child are when they cook and bake new recipes in the kitchen! A little mother daughter bonding experience, isn’t that so cute?!

In the cold months (fall + winter), adding layers to your outfits always looks STUNNING in portraits! A sweater with a flannel underneath paired with a vest + statement necklace or scarf adds so much dimension to your images and makes for super fun posing options! Even in the warmer months (spring + summer) you can add these layers

Erin was so much fun and was so willing to try different poses.  I love how her photos turned out!  

Congratulations, Erin, Class of 2021!
