Ana | Waterloo East High School | Class of 2023

Welcome back to The Blog! Today we spotlight Class of 2023 SRD Senior, Ana Erdman!

Ana was the first of two C/0 2023 SRD Seniors who booked the 365 Session, which allows Seniors to split their sessions into multiple parts over multiple seasons. She split her Senior Experience into two parts - Fall and Spring.

To kick off her Fall session day, Ana got pampered by Lakeba at Foxy's Beauty Lounge in Waterloo. Lakeba styled her makeup with a subtle smoky eye and a deep nude lip. Once Ana was looking and feeling her best, we took off to the first location, which was the front of a church in Waterloo. The stone steps, iron railing, and red wooden doors made the perfect backdrop for Ana's first outfit. We even got a pop of color with the fallen leaves! Next, it was off to a park for even more Fall foliage. The orange and yellow leaves complimented Ana's top beautifully and allowed her pink hair to shine. Finally, it was off to a nearby cemetery for a touching tribute to her aunt, as well as some macabre, stoic images against the setting sun.

For her Spring session, Ana went for a laidback vibe. She wanted to showcase her interests and personality in this session, which has us in her room at her home, and at two local parks. For the first location, Ana wore her favorite pajamas and posed with some of her prized possessions - her plushies, Lego builds, and cat-ear headphones. Next, we visited a nearby park with a gazebo, willow trees, and a serene pond. Ana wore an asymmetrical blue halter dress and a jean jacket for a semi-formal look that perfectly matched the vibe of the park. For her final location, we went to another park with a more rustic, slightly industrial vibe for a jeans-and-t-shirt look. Ana got to climb on fallen logs and the multiple bridges in the park, swinging and jumping and having a blast for the sendoff of her multi-season Senior Experience!
