We had the privilege of taking senior portraits in Germany during one of the most beautiful sunsets we’ve seen.

Every time we visit Europe we land in a great community of friends in Breishach, Germany right on the Rhein river across from France. Breisach is seated in a valley near the Kaiserstuh, which means the Emeror’s Chair. This is where some of the best wines in Europe are grown. Our friends Heike and Thomas graciously welcome us into their home and circles of family and friends. This always gives us a graceful entrance into Europe for many of our long tours photographing weddings.

Our friend Heike’s daughter, Carlotta, and her friend Alina just graduated from school at the end of our tour. The timing of the end of our Europe tour couldn’t have been better for taking their senior portraits in Germany.

Breisach, Germany, a picturesque town nestled on the banks of the mighty Rhein River. Its cobblestone streets, half-timbered houses, and breathtaking views of the surrounding vineyards make it a photographer’s dream. Today, we had the privilege of capturing the essence of this enchanting place, as we documented the lives of two remarkable seniors, Carlotta and Alina.

Freshly graduated from school, Carlotta and Alina were brimming with youthful energy and dreams. Their laughter echoed through the narrow streets as they strolled hand in hand, their joy contagious to anyone lucky enough to witness their friendship. Carlotta, with her vibrant personality, found solace in the soulful melodies of the saxophone and guitar. Alina, on the other hand, was a burst of intellect and playfulness, her curiosity leading her on countless adventures.

As we adventured from their family farm to Breisach’s cathedral, the sun bathed Breisach in a warm golden glow, casting a magical aura over everything it touched. The town seemed to come alive, its centuries-old buildings standing tall against the backdrop of rolling vineyards.

Breisach, Germany, with its idyllic setting and rich history, had become the canvas on which Carlotta and Alina painted their memories. Each snapshot encapsulated a story, a moment frozen in time, showcasing their love for life and each other.

As we bid farewell to Breisach, we couldn’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to document the lives of these two remarkable seniors. Carlotta’s saxophone melodies and Alina’s playful intellect would forever linger in our memories, just as their friendship had left an indelible mark on the picturesque town by the Rhein River.
