Senior pictures are the perfect way to celebrate your senior’s achievements and uniqueness. The best photographer for senior pictures is one who lets your senior’s personality light up every image, visually capturing their essence and passions. We loved our senior portrait session with Avery Cleaver featuring her love of the water, both in swimming and with a stunning sunset session at Jordan Lake.

Whether making a splash in the pool or dancing by the lake, Avery’s sportsmanship is evident throughout.
Meet Avery
Avery Cleaver is a high school senior whose radiance is evident both in and out of the pool. As an accomplished swimmer and talented dancer, it was important to Avery that her senior portraits reflected her dedication to her sports and the time she has dedicated to honing her skill, while also embracing a relaxed, serene setting. We were thrilled to create a session that combined her athleticism at the pool, with the natural beauty of Jordan Lake that set the perfect scene for her elegant dancing.
The Portrait Session: Swimming, Sunflowers, Sunset and Serenity
Our session with Avery began at the pool, with Avery demonstrating her agility in the water. We captured her in action, showcasing her athleticism and the grace she brings with every move. Her senior pictures highlighted her dedication to the sport, with dynamic shots that conveyed her energy and strength. From there, we captured Avery among Raleigh’s infamous sunflowers at Dorothea Dix Park.
Avery’s energy and grace is found wherever she goes, whether that’s gliding in the pool, perfectly poised in the dance studio or among the flowers in nature. We loved capturing her southern charm at Jordan Lake at sunset, which surrounded her in a beautiful ‘golden hour’ light. The Lake’s tranquil waters and unspoiled beach provided a captivating backdrop for Avery’s portraits, especially for showcasing her love of dance. We captured the soft, ethereal glow of the setting sun, which created a gorgeous variety of images as the end result.
The combination of celebrating Avery’s achievements with the natural beauty of Dorothea Dix Park and Jordan Lake created a powerful visual narrative. Each photograph captured a different facet of her personality, from her competitive spirit to her natural beauty.
