Maybree Budde – Senior Girl Photography – Mater Dei High School Class of 2026 – Southern Illinois Photographer

Maybree | Blue boots, basketball style, and a senior session with personality

Maybree’s session was anything but ordinary. As a 2026 senior at Mater Dei, she showed up with a vision that blended bold style, meaningful locations, and a whole lot of personality. From the studio to the gym to the woods, every part of her session reflected who she is — confident, creative, and completely original.

Here’s a look at the moments that made her session shine:

Studio Style in bold blue

We started in the studio with a full-blue look that gave off serious Megan Moroney vibes — a matching outfit, cowgirl boots, and a hat to top it off. With dramatic lighting and Maybree’s natural confidence, this set had a moody, modern edge that felt straight out of a country music album cover. It was the perfect mix of trendy and classic western flair.

Courtside Confidence

Instead of the typical jersey-and-shoes look for basketball photos, Maybree switched it up — rocking a skirt and her letterman jacket in the Mater Dei gym. The combo was unexpected and totally worked. It gave her court photos a fresh, fashionable twist while still showing her love for the game in a way that felt completely authentic.

Camo, Country & Shotgun in hand

Next, we hit the woods for a hunting-inspired look. Decked out in camo with her shotgun and a tree stand in the background, this set was all about strength, heritage, and staying true to her roots. Maybree looked confident and fearless in this setting — and the natural surroundings made it all feel that much more powerful.

Orange dress and a floral swing finish

To wrap it all up, Maybree changed into a soft orange dress and white boots for some beautiful, golden-hour moments on a floral swing. The colors were warm and soft, and the light gave everything a dreamy glow. It was the perfect way to end her session,  something playful, feminine, and full of joy.
