Aidan's Cool Senior Photos in Loveland, CO | Larissa Elizabeth Photography, Loveland Colorado Senior Photographer

I am not sure if "cool" is even the right word to describe Aidan, NHS Class of 2025, but it really is the simplest way to put into words how impressed I was with him. He has a calm, confident presence about him that even those pre-session nerves couldn't shake. I should have known that when he wanted to rock his purple suite that he wore to prom the previous year that this session was going to be a little different than others.


As a talented soccer player and someone dedicated enough to his education that he drives over 40 minutes one way to school, Aidan quickly demonstrated that he is someone that can do anything he puts his mind to. At his session he also shared his goal of growing his social media marketing business and pretty much cemented that coolness factor.


For his session we planned to do one look that was more comfortable and casual with an industrial touch at this cool metal bridge and then follow that up with a more urban look paired with that purple suit. Together we knew it would give a great variety and images that felt authentic to who Aidan is.


Casual Vibe - Something that Feels Like You

In a classic tee shirt and jeans, Aidan and I started at the first location. The goal was to use the lines of the bridge and the natural elements of the grass and trees for a more casual vibe. Aidan did a great job just jumping right in and trusting me with the different prompts I was giving him. It was obviously that he quickly became comfortable in front of the camera and we were able to capture some great images.

Before Aidan changed into his fancier look, we drove over to a parking garage to snap a couple images there. We knew we wanted to do some in the casual look as well as the suit and I love how both looks gave a cool, new vibe in the cement surroundings.

Adding Something Fancy - The Secret Tip for Your Session

And then came the famed purple suit. And I am not sure what I was imagining- maybe something that Lloyd or Harry would rock in Dumb and Dumber with a vivid pop of color but I should have known that Aidan would make a wise choice. The suit that served him well at prom delivered again at senior pictures and really lives as some encouragement to senior guys everywhere that they should strongly consider a fancier option in their wardrobe for their senior session. The suit added sophistication and maturity while also staying true to Aidan's personality. It didn't come off like he was dressing up or playing pretend but rather showed off the side of him that has a passion for business and a dream to grow his own company.


So I hope this lives as a tip to all senior guys reading this as they prepare for your session: 1) don't be afraid to wear what you love and want to wear and 2) adding a fancier look can really elevate your session in a cool way.


This purple suit was such a smart choice and I love how they came out up on the parking garage without the jacket, to start.

And can we talk about how beautiful that sunset was?? It totally complimented the colors of this session so well! But we did eventually step away from that stunning sunset view over the changing colors of the trees to find some cool urban details to use as a backdrop as well. Of course, Aidan continued to showcase that confidence and comfort in front of the camera and together we were able to create some authentically cool images that will not only be ones that can represent senior year but can also help him launch his new business venture and kick-start those business dreams.

So now can you see how "cool" is the word that just comes to mind from this session? I know it doesn't begin to capture all that Aidan is and dreams to be but I am hoping that these images that he and his family have from senior year will do that heavy lifting when words don't seem to get it right. This young man has a bright future ahead of him and being a part of celebrating this journey was such an honor!


I would love to come alongside you and your senior as you all plan out your session. We can work together to figure out that perfect mix of looks to wear and locations to use so that the outcome not only feels right but looks just like you imagine it should. I will be there every step of the way to help your senior feel comfortable and authentic in front of the camera so that the final images are full of their personality and represent who they are as a person.
