If you’re looking for inspiration for Williston ND senior photos, Sheldon’s session had everything: studio portraits, downtown style, and a golden-hour glow at Lewis & Clark State Park.


After warming up in the studio, Sheldon changed into a sleek black suit for our downtown portion of the session. Honestly, this look suited him (pun fully intended). The contrast between the formal outfit and the city backdrop gave us a polished, modern feel that still let his personality shine through.
This is one of the reasons I love offering senior photos in Williston ND—the variety of backdrops in such a small area is unmatched.

Once we wrapped up downtown, we made our way to Lewis & Clark State Park, which never disappoints. It’s one of my go-to locations for Williston ND senior photos because of how much natural variety it brings. We wandered through tall grass, posed by the water, and even found some beautiful driftwood to work with along the shoreline.
The lighting that night was dreamy. It was one of those golden-hour evenings that feels like it was made just for taking photos. Every location we stopped at gave us something totally different, which made his gallery feel both cohesive and full of personality.

Sheldon’s mom, Kelly, came along for the session, and it was so fun catching up with her. I actually photographed his sister a few years ago, so seeing them again felt like a little reunion. One of the best parts of my job is getting to work with families more than once—it always feels so special and meaningful.

Sheldon’s final gallery had it all: indoor studio shots, downtown city vibes, and sunset scenes out in nature. Sessions like this are why I love what I do. Being able to capture different sides of someone’s personality in one evening is such a gift.
