Nestled in Upper St. Clair, Boyce Mayview Park is a hidden gem—a peaceful mix of wide open fields, wooded trails, and even a recreation center surrounded by natural beauty. Athena’s senior session there perfectly captured her relaxed, joyful spirit and the dreamy autumn colors of the season.

📍 Locations: Field & Friends

We began in a sunlit meadow, where wildflowers and golden light framed Athena in a flowy white dress with a delicate bow in the back. A layer of warmth appeared when she added a denim jacket—giving natural, casual flair that moved beautifully with the breeze.

As the glow shifted, we moved into a cozy wooded path where Athena showed her natural everyday personality in a lace-knit white top with jeans. This effortless look matched the soft surroundings and brought out her authentic, easygoing energy, captured through genuine smiles and quiet moments.

👗 Outfit 1: White Dress + Denim Jacket

This outfit was pure autumn dreams. The bow detail added a feminine, candid elegance, while the denim jacket created depth and texture perfect for golden hour light. The meadow backdrop made her look like she was glowing from the inside out.

👖 Outfit 2: White Lace Knit Top with Jeans

Next, we switched to a casual vibe that showcased Athena’s true personality. The lace knit top offered gentle texture, and the comfortable jeans allowed her to move freely—walking, laughing, and interacting with her mom and sister who joined us for the final segment.

💛 Family Moments & Shared Stories

The presence of Athena’s mom and sister added layers of warmth and connection to the session. As they reminisced about a past photoshoot together, the atmosphere turned playful and heartfelt—giving us some of the most meaningful candid shots of the day.
