Eisley | River Senior Pictures in Bolivar, MO

Senior

Sep 16

Eisley Scowden is a Bolivar High School senior in the Class of 2027, and her senior pictures went down to the river at golden hour. She already has a snow day senior session near Bolivar and a studio senior session with Emma, so this one went outside with a white skirt, a denim top, and a wildflower bouquet.

If you are still deciding what to bring to your own session, senior picture outfit ideas for studio and outdoor photos is a good place to start.

Golden hour by the river near Bolivar

The session started in tall grass with the sun low behind her, then moved down a dirt path under the trees and out onto the gravel bar. Golden hour is the stretch before sunset when the light sits low and warm, and NOAA's sunrise and sunset calculator gives the exact sunset time for any day you are planning around.

Eisley wore a white cami and a long tiered white skirt first, barefoot for most of it. The pink zinnias and wildflowers in her bouquet came along for the whole walk.

The denim top and the vine garland

For the second look she switched to a strapless denim top with the same white skirt. A long green vine garland went over one shoulder for a few frames by the water.

After dark in the river

When the light was gone, Eisley stepped into the shallows. The last frames are lit from off to the side, with the trees going dark behind her. I keep coming back to these.
