Noelle :: Class of 2024

I’m so excited to share the story of Noelle, a dear client who just graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota! Noelle’s journey is truly inspiring, especially considering her high school experience in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic turned everything upside down. Despite the challenges, she found a wonderful way to create lasting memories with a stunning photoshoot at Arneson Acres Park in Edina, MN.

Noelle’s high school graduation was anything but typical. The Class of 2020 faced so many obstacles, including the cancellation of senior year traditions and events. Among the many things they missed out on were senior photos, a milestone for so many graduates. Determined to make up for this, Noelle decided to celebrate her college graduation with a special photoshoot.

We chose Arneson Acres Park in Edina for the setting, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The park is known for its lush gardens and beautiful landscapes, creating a serene and picturesque backdrop that complemented Noelle’s radiant personality and accomplishments.

The photoshoot was a beautiful blend of tradition and modern elegance. In some of the photos, Noelle proudly wore her cap and gown, symbolizing all her hard work and dedication over the years. These images captured the pride and joy of completing her degree at Gustavus Adolphus College, marking a significant milestone in her life.

The timing of the photoshoot was everything. As the sun began to set, Arneson Acres Park was bathed in the enchanting glow of the golden hour. This magical time of day, when the sunlight is soft and warm, added a dreamy quality to the photos. The golden hues enhanced the natural beauty of the park and created a stunning contrast with Noelle’s white dress and cap and gown.

I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Noelle on her graduation from Gustavus Adolphus College. Her journey from high school during the pandemic to college graduation is a story of resilience and triumph. By choosing to commemorate her achievement with a photoshoot at Arneson Acres Park, Noelle has created beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.

Noelle’s story is a reminder that even in the face of challenges, it’s possible to find joy and celebrate milestones in meaningful ways. I wish her all the best in her future endeavors and look forward to seeing all the wonderful things she will accomplish.
