Is a Destination Photo-Shoot right for you? - Senior Pictures by Lisa McNiel




Is a Destination Photo-Shoot right for you? - Senior Pictures by Lisa McNiel

Graduation is a milestone worth celebrating, and what better way to commemorate this achievement than with a destination photo shoot in the vibrant city of Las Vegas? Follow the journey of a Dallas girl as she embarks on a memorable adventure, capturing the essence of her accomplishment against the backdrop of iconic locations in and around the Entertainment Capital of the World.

A group of Senior Photographers from across the nation met to knock a photo shoot bucket list item off of the list and photograph our own models and each others for fun and education.

We stayed at the Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort and Spa and about half of the photos were taken there. I'll begin with some of the other models and end with my amazing girl, Sydney!

The senior girls showed up in all kinds of outfits, glamorous dresses and stylish short suits paired with high heeled hortie boots and oversized barrettes. 



There was a beach section of the resort which make lifeguard and swimwear pictures possible. Here, I took advantage of the hard light coming through the fence creating patterns.








Palm Trees and Sunshine: No trip to Las Vegas is complete without the quintessential palm tree-lined streets. Strolling through these sun-soaked avenues, our girls exudes confidence and accomplishment. The vibrant colors and warm sunlight create a dynamic atmosphere, mirroring the graduate's journey toward success.



The choice of this faux fur jacket with the sequin gown was just elegane personified!



The girls brought a variety of looks to match their personalities and it made the posoing and locations both challenging and fun!



Sydney was my amazing model and being the only daughter of Krista, so this became a memorable Mother/Daughter trip for them. 



Desert Dreams: Leaving the city behind, the photo shoot takes an adventurous turn as our graduate explores an amazing ghost town in the desert. Vintage cars, abandoned buildings, and mechanical gems provide a unique and captivating backdrop for capturing the essence of transition and change.




Fremont Street: The iconic Fremont Street becomes the stage for the next set of photos. Neon lights, street performers, and a bustling crowd provide a lively backdrop as our graduate celebrates the joy of completing her academic journey. The electric energy of Fremont Street captures the essence of Las Vegas nightlife.





I kept being amazed by how the outfits she had packed were perfect for the colors and situations we were shooting in! I think you can see what I mean with ner top and pants and the colors in the desert with the huge propeller, the short salmon sequin dress on Freemont street and this black and white combo with the enormous checkerboard at the resort.






This simple cream shift with the flowncy sleeves went with all the colors at teh resort.








As the sun sets over the Nevada desert, our Dallas girl's destination graduation photo shoot weekend comes to a close. Each location in Las Vegas has contributed to a vibrant and diverse collection of images that not only celebrate academic achievement but also reflect the spirit of the city itself. From the glitz of the Strip to the tranquility of the desert, this photo shoot is a testament to the versatility and beauty that Las Vegas has to offer, making it an ideal destination for capturing life's significant milestones.
