As summer inches towards its halfway point, a handful of high school seniors start to sneak onto my calendar. While these days headshots and custom brand stories usually fill my days, I always welcome a grad session to pull myself out of my creative comfort zone.

Sweet, stunning, and stylish Esther was the first to book a session for the Class of 2024 season. And, oh boy, was she a wonderful first session of the season.

Esther is a native of Rwanda studying at Oak Grove Lutheran School in Fargo and this coming year will be her second in Fargo-Moorhead. Investing in high school senior photography tends to be an American trend - one that not every exchange student chooses to do. Luckily, Esther’s awesome host family thought it was important she document this awesome milestone.

So, we ventured off to Concordia College in search of golden light and mosquito-free zones. And she rocked it. R O C K E D IT.
