Ilora’s senior photos were all about bringing her to the forefront, and downtown Vancouver gave us the perfect stage. We started out at White Oak Books—one of my absolute favorite little gems in town. With shelves stacked high, cozy corners, and that gorgeous natural light pouring in, it was the perfect backdrop for Ilora’s thoughtful, creative side. She slipped right into the space, like she belonged in the middle of a coming-of-age movie scene.
From there, we crossed the street to Relevant Coffee—because what’s a senior session without a little caffeine (or matcha)? Ilora grabbed her drink, we found a quiet corner, and I let her just be. Between the concrete textures, greenery, and soft café light, the photos picked up this relaxed, modern energy that felt exactly like her.
The best part? None of it was about stiff poses or rushing. It was simply Ilora—on the edge of senior year, confident in her own style, and showing up authentically. White Oak gave us pages. Relevant gave us atmosphere. Ilora gave us everything else.
