Katie ~ Class of 2020 ~ Indian Creek HS ~ Stephanie Hulthen Photography

I photographed Katie back in November for her senior session. It was a typical Illinois day (Fall + Winter collided…ha!). 🙂 The beautiful background with her lovely red hair were perfect. I am so proud of Katie. She is super smart (valedictorian), athletic + sweet as can be.

Congrats to you beautiful girl. I’m excited to see what the future has for you. Thank you for choosing me to photograph your senior photos! <3

Jade ~ class of 2019 ~ indian creek hs ~ stephanie hulthen photography

Jade is a sweet and talented 2019 senior.  I’ve had the opportunity to watch her grow as an athlete since middle school (when my husband was the rec. basketball coach), and see her play basketball at State when she was a freshman.  I can’t wait to watch her on the bball court this season at ICHS.  Jade also enjoys swimming, pop music, ice cream, and mini golf.

I loved photographing her senior photos.  She’s a natural beauty inside and out.  Have an amazing senior year girl!

All of her senior photos were taken in my studio and on my studio property.
gear:

Nikon D810

Nikkor 50mm + 85mm prime lenses
