Park Senior Session in Lancaster County | Deniah Bourne

May 14, 2025

Deniah’s Park Senior Session in Lancaster County was an absolute dream from start to finish. As one of my 2025 HMP Senior Spokesmodels, she brings confidence, energy, and total joy to every shoot—but this one was next level. Her style, her smile, and her willingness to try anything made this session one I’ll be obsessing over for a long time!

Overlook Park is one of my favorite spots in Lancaster because it gives us so many different looks in one space—from towering pine groves to open fields of tall grass. It’s the kind of location that adapts beautifully to any senior’s personality, and for Deniah, it was the perfect match.

Starting Soft in the Pines

We began the session in a quiet pine tree grove where Deniah wore a relaxed white shirt and jeans. Simple, classic, and effortlessly cute. The light was dreamy, and she eased into the session like she’s been doing this for years (spoiler: it totally shows in the photos).

Cue the Boots—Show Stopper Energy

Next, she changed into a white dress and bright red cowgirl boots…and I just about fell over when I saw them. They were bold, fun, and made the whole look pop against the natural greens of the trees and fields. That combo? An instant favorite.

Elegant + Fierce in Black

Then came the black dress…and I’m still not over it. A long, flowy design with a stunning open back, paired with the open field of tall grasses at golden hour? Photography. Dream. Come. True. I was basically squealing the entire time as she twirled in the breeze, and the photos are pure magic.

Ending with Movement and Light

We wrapped up the session with a soft and flowy white skirt + matching white top, and it brought such a peaceful, elegant vibe to the end of the evening. The way the fabric caught the light and moved in the wind gave us so much beauty to work with.

Why I Love This Location for Senior Sessions

This Park Senior Session in Lancaster County reminded me why Overlook Park is one of my go-to spots. Whether your vibe is casual, bold, elegant, or whimsical (or all of the above, like Deniah!), the variety of backdrops at this park make it easy to customize your session while keeping everything close together.

Deniah absolutely nailed every outfit, every location, and every moment of this shoot. She’s been such a joy to have on the 2025 spokesmodel team, and I cannot wait to see what the rest of the year brings with her.

Thinking about your own senior session? Want your photos to reflect your style, energy, and personality? Let’s chat and start dreaming up something perfect.
