And what better way to wrap up this incredible spokesmodel series than with our final 2025 feature, Caitlyn Parnell! 💛✨

A True 1826 Legacy

Caitlyn is extra special to our team—she’s what we call a “legacy” spokesmodel! Her older brother was on our team in 2023, and Lindsey has known the Parnell family for years, dating back to her time at Caryl Crane Youth Theatre. While Caity took her talents to cheerleading and dance, Lindsey still remembers her as the sweet, red-headed little sister, always there to cheer on her big brother at his shows. It’s been so special to see her grow into the kind, beautiful, and talented person she is today.

A Senior Experience as Stunning as She Is ✨

Caitlyn was an absolute dream to photograph. Her gorgeous freckled skin, fiery red hair, and natural beauty make her stand out—but what shines even brighter is her sweet, kind-hearted personality.

For her summer session, we explored:
🌿 Sawmill Creek – A breathtaking mix of weepy willows and the rocky Lake Erie shoreline, giving her portraits a soft, timeless feel.
🌳 Firelands Arboretum – The perfect setting for glowy golden light and dreamy nature shots, adding a touch of whimsy to her session.
🏖 Nickel Plate Beach – Wrapping up the evening with an amazing sunset beachside, where the warm tones and water made for an unforgettable ending.

Then, when fall rolled around, she stepped into her perfect color palette at Strickfadden Park, where the warm autumn tones made her features POP. 🍂🍁

And of course, we couldn’t forget her cheer mini-session, where she teamed up with her BFF & fellow spokesmodel, Kendall, to show off her school spirit! 📣💙
