Thomas | A Senior Session

Senior pictures are an important part of high school graduation traditions, capturing a moment in time that will be cherished for years to come. For many seniors, it's an opportunity to showcase their personality, interests, and style before they embark on their next chapter in life.

Preparing for senior pictures can be an exciting yet nerve-wracking experience, but with some thoughtful planning, it can also be a fun and memorable one. The first step is to choose a photographer that you feel comfortable with and whose style aligns with your vision. Research their portfolio and read reviews from previous clients to ensure you find the right fit for your style.

Next, decide on the location and outfits that will best reflect your personality and interests. Whether it's a favorite park, cityscape, or even your own backyard, the location should be meaningful to you. This senior chose the campus of the college he will be attending!

Arrive with a positive attitude and an open mind, ready to have fun and be yourself. Trust your photographer's guidance and be willing to try new poses or expressions. Embrace the experience and enjoy the moment!

Having your senior pictures done is an exciting and special experience. By taking the time to prepare and find the right photographer, location, and outfits, you can be sure to end up with images you'll love for many years!

Octavian | A Senior Session

It’s difficult to find words for this one. I’ve known him for over 12 years. He and my son played soccer together for years. They rocked their little (and not-so-little) mohawks and played their hearts out. His mom and I stood on the sidelines together, cheering loudly, at every match. It’s really hard to believe that little boy is now a young man and will be graduating high school in just a few short months.

I am not okay.

I imaging if I am not okay, then his mama is REALLY not okay.

All that said, check out this guy. Not only is he an amazing athlete, but he is also one of the kindest souls. Although time and distance has come between us over the years, this family will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart.

To O: Thank you for trusting me with your senior pictures! I KNOW you will excel at anything you do!!

If you’re graduating high school in 2024, this is your year! I am now accepting applications for the 2024 Senior Team!! Check it out and apply today!!

Kasey | Senior Team

Another senior interview! YAY! I met Kasey many years ago when she and her sister were dancers at Allegro Dance Arts. I had the pleasure of capturing her older sister, Lucy, a couple years ago, too! Kasey and I connected, once again, and ended up doing CrossFit together, which was a lot of fun! She was quite the competitor! Now, here we are…wrapping up her senior year. It’s true what they say…time flies.
