If classic and sophisticated are more your style for Senior Portraits, then you are sure to love my #4 spot as much as I do. Waveny Park in New Canaan is the very definition of classy.

The perfectly maintained formal gardens around the Waveny House mansion ooze with style and sophistication. It’s easy to imagine the grand parties that must have graced the flagstone terrace of this grand summer estate. With huge stone arches, flagstone walkways, border walls and perfectly maintained landscaping, the mansion’s architecture and gardens are a stunning backdrop for a classic Senior Portrait Session.

Keep scrolling to see my favorite images from a Senior Portrait Session with Cate, who was just starting her Senior year at Greenwich Academy when we met at Waveny Park in New Canaan. We booked her session during the golden hour, which is my absolute favorite time of day to shoot. The setting sun is super flattering, and I love the way it brings out the golden highlights in her gorgeous curls.

For Senior Portraits with a soft and timeless vibe, look no farther than Waveny Park in New Canaan.
