Spring Hibernia Park Senior Session | McKenzie Gregory

May 23, 2025

McKenzie’s spring Hibernia Park senior session was nothing short of amazing—from the glow of golden hour to the nonstop support of the best hype squad ever. Seriously, her mom and best friend came ready to cheer her on, and it made all the difference. I can’t stress enough how much of a game-changer it is to bring someone who knows how to make you laugh, help with outfits, and keep the energy up. At one point, her mom turned to me and said, “I could just go hang out with you.” Instant heart melt—and probably one of my favorite compliments of the year!

The Outfits: Style, Variety, and Confidence

McKenzie came prepared with the best outfit lineup. She started in a sweet and simple green dress with a floral pattern —casual, classic, and so effortlessly her. Then she changed into a lacy pink top paired with jeans (YES, yes, yes to this combo!). Her third look was a two-piece romper that brought fun, flirty energy to the shoot, and we wrapped it all up with a stunning white dress that popped against the lake.

She absolutely nailed the variety—each outfit gave us something new and brought out a different side of her personality.

Exploring All the Best Spots at Hibernia

Hibernia Park is one of my favorite senior session locations for a reason. The tall wild grass fields were glowing in the evening light, the pink flowers were just beginning to bloom, and we even spent some time by the historic mansion and the lake. It gave us so much variety without needing to travel far.

Oh—and in true magical session fashion, we stumbled upon a prom proposal happening nearby! Of course, I grabbed a few shots for them, too (photographer instincts always kick in!).

The HMP Spokesmodel Magic

McKenzie is one of my amazing 2025 HMP Senior Spokesmodels, and she brings so much joy to the team. She’s confident, kind, and up for anything—just the kind of energy I love having in front of my lens.

If you’re in the Class of 2026 and this sounds like your kind of experience, you’re in luck—applications for the next HMP Senior Spokesmodel team are live now through May 31st! It’s an incredible way to celebrate your senior year with a community of girls, tons of fun shoots, and extra perks.

This spring Hibernia Park senior session will forever be one of my favorites—not just for the outfits and light (which were perfect), but because of the people. McKenzie, your smile lit up every frame, and I’m so honored to have you on my team!

XOXO ~ Heather Marie
