Senior sessions are so much fun to put together! Cora was not too picky about her senior portraits–she just wanted to make sure we worked in some of her love for nature. We ended up shooting the first half at the old Cotton Mill in McKinney, TX before heading over to Erwin Park. I love utilizing both of these locations when I can. I’m such a sucker for the Cotton Mill. The owners have done a fantastic job of retaining so many of the historic details with gorgeous landscaping. I really love the blend they utilize of architecture and nature. While we ended up just shooting at the old dye room and patio at the Cotton Mill, there are several other indoor options available as well.
Erwin Park is also a great location–it is beautiful year round, and the mountain bike trails make for some interesting visual elements. This park is also huge, so there are a lot of options to shoot at to get a variety of looks. I do recommend using this park on a weekday when possible, however, as it can get pretty insanely busy on the weekends. We ended up just staying in one area and making the most of the texture of the fields and the pretty golden hour light.
