Graduation Portraits at Hurley Gardens in Wheaton
Hurley Gardens is one of Wheaton's most beautiful portrait settings. Formal white pergolas, stone columns, garden paths, and seasonal flowers give a single session real range, from clean editorial frames to relaxed, personality-driven moments.
Payton was photographed at Hurley Gardens to mark her 8th grade graduation, a session that mixed elegant garden portraits with her love of basketball. A milestone like finishing middle school deserves more than a quick phone photo, and bringing a sport or personal interest into the shoot is exactly what makes a portrait feel like you, not a template. The columns and greenery gave the images a timeless, editorial feel, while the basketball frames kept it real and fun. Payton is now a Rising C.R.E.W. member and a sophomore at Marmion Academy.
That range is the point. Every Wheaton session is built around the person: guided posing so you never have to figure it out, a location plan matched to your style, and room to bring in what makes you, you.
