Waukesha Catholic Memorial class of 2026 Sneak Peek | Hayden

Meet Hayden, my final senior of the fall season. His session landed right at that point in November when the leaves are hanging on by a thread and the light turns warm and golden. Perfect timing for a quiet, natural portrait that feels like late autumn itself.

We had a lovely time walking through Hidden Lake Park - every turn revealed a new version of fall: falling leaves, warm colors and a slight breeze that reminded us it sure ain’t summer anymore. (Boo!)

Every year, the fall season is a whirlwind of seniors, parents, sessions, and beautiful stories being told about each graduate. Then winter hits, and I get to slow down, recombobulate (literally), and revisit all the wonderful moments from the year. Hayden’s session is one of the last I’ll share this season, but there is so much more coming.

Once the snow melts and we roll into spring, I’ll be sharing full galleries and finished artwork from this year’s seniors, which is honestly one of my favorite parts of the job. It’s like reliving the whole season all over again.

Thank you to all the incredible seniors and families I photographed this fall. You make this work meaningful and fun, and I can’t wait to share more of your stories soon.

Congratulations, Hayden, on your senior year at Catholic Memorial!
