Samuel’s senior session at the Dayton Art Institute proves that simple can still be incredibly impactful. Despite the museum hosting Oktoberfest that day (yes — it was PACKED), we stuck to the iconic stairs and made the most of this timeless location.

We kept the session relaxed with just two outfits. Samuel started in a dressier look — a blue button-up and khakis — which looked fantastic against the stone architecture. Then we switched to a more casual outfit, capturing portraits at the top of the stairs.

To wrap things up, we crossed the street to the river for a few final shots, giving the session just enough variety without overcomplicating it.

Samuel, I hope your senior year is amazing — congratulations!
