LCA Senior Photos | Lynchburg, VA | Ella

Downtown Lynchburg might not seem like an obvious choice for photos at first glance, but it truly offers some hidden gems for high school senior photo sessions! The older buildings and historic charm provide stunning and timeless backdrops that elevate the final shots. It’s the perfect example of why trusting your Lynchburg photographer is so important—they know how to find the beauty in unexpected places and bring it to life. Ella’s photos from October 2020 are such a great example of this! The right Lynchburg photographer sees beyond what’s immediately visible, finding angles, lighting, and compositions that bring out the best in any location. “Trust the process” applies here.

The day we had scheduled for Ella’s session was such a beautiful fall day! The lighting was perfect. Ella looked confident and relaxed. Some might feel shy around the camera, but that’s okay! I guide and direct throughout the session helping my seniors feel at ease and look their best.

Senior year flies by, and with all the events, planning, and celebrations, it’s easy for things like photos to slip through the cracks. Scheduling a senior session early ensures families don’t miss out on capturing this special milestone.

The holidays, with all the traveling and family gatherings, are definitely a busy time for everyone. Booking now means you can relax knowing those beautiful photos are taken care of. These images become cherished keepsakes—not just for the graduate but for the whole family. Don’t wait to lock in your session with your Lynchburg photographer; time moves faster than you think!

Congratulations Ella!! Here’s to the class of 2021! Can’t wait to see what great things are in store for you!
