Hey friend! I'm Jaden! Wife, photographer, mom of 2, Georgia Southern Grad! Waking up every morning living my best life, working on my dream, and meeting amazing people along the way!

This is a beautiful, light-filled senior photo collage featuring three images of a blonde high school senior in a flowy white sundress with a soft pastel floral pattern. Here's a breakdown of each image: Left Image: The senior is sitting casually on the edge of a large wooden planter in what appears to be a café patio or park setting. The background includes umbrellas, string lights, and draping Spanish moss from large oak trees, giving a charming, southern vibe. Her white block heels add a polished touch to the relaxed, summery look. Center Image: A close-up portrait with a soft smile. She's surrounded by greenery and delicate lavender-blue agapanthus flowers in the foreground, adding dimension and a romantic botanical feel. She wears a dainty gold necklace with a “W” pendant and subtle bracelets, keeping accessories youthful and sweet. Right Image: A full-body shot on a paved path lined with lush bushes and large oak trees overhead, their branches creating a natural canopy. Her dress flows gently in the breeze, and she looks effortlessly graceful, standing in the center of the walkway with a soft, confident pose.

Late summer is one of the best times for capturing glowing senior portraits in Savannah. Learn how I lean into natural light, even on hot days, and why golden-hour magic isn’t just for instagram reels. Savannah light + smart planning = stress-free, stunning photos.

This photo captures a warm, candid group moment between the four young women. Scene & Composition The friends are seated side by side on a wooden ledge, leaning comfortably against each other while smiling and laughing. Each girl is dressed in coordinating outfits—white tops with denim shorts—maintaining the casual, summery theme carried throughout the series. Colorful beach balls rest at their feet and in their laps, adding a playful, lighthearted element to the scene. Setting Behind them, a structure painted in bright blue and red stripes adds a bold pop of color. The setting retains the lively, outdoor recreational feel of the earlier images, with picnic tables, palm trees, and sunshine visible in the background. Mood The overall vibe is joyful and carefree, emphasizing friendship and fun. The way the women are laughing and looking at each other highlights genuine connection, making this image feel natural and spirited rather than posed.

This senior portrait captures a soft and graceful moment in one of Savannah’s beautifully shaded squares: The senior is standing in the middle of a lush hydrangea garden filled with full, blooming clusters in pastel shades of pink, lavender, and pale blue. She’s wearing a white dress with subtle embroidery and puff sleeves, which gives off a fresh, timeless look that contrasts beautifully with the colorful flowers. Her hands rest gently in front of her, and she’s smiling warmly at the camera. Her long, loose curls cascade over her shoulders, perfectly styled for the natural setting. In the background, you can see classic Savannah architecture with porches, shutters, and soft pastel tones, along with a traditional streetlamp and oak branches draped in Spanish moss above. The composition is romantic and garden-inspired, with the senior beautifully centered and framed by blooms and greenery.

This image captures a senior portrait with a beautiful waterfront backdrop, blending elegance with a coastal, natural setting: The senior stands confidently in the center of the frame, smiling softly with one hand on her hip and the other resting casually by her side. She’s wearing a strapless white textured romper with a large front bow and tiered detailing. Her light pink heeled sandals add a soft pop of color and sophistication to the look. Behind her is a lush mix of green marsh grasses and flowering plants, transitioning to a calm body of water with anchored boats and wooden piers. On the right, a long dock leads to rustic buildings on stilts, enhancing the coastal charm of the scene. The lighting is soft and flattering, likely captured in golden hour, giving her skin and hair a warm, natural glow. The cloudy sky adds depth without overpowering the bright, cheerful mood.
