With the Class of 2024 yearbook deadline approaching, I thought I would take this opportunity to share some of my favorite images from Class of 2023 Senior Team member, Owen! Owen is now thriving in college, but before that, he absolutely killed his senior sessions. We included his love for baseball in our time together, and I am thrilled with the way they came together.
What do you think of Owen’s pictures? Which ones are YOUR favorites?

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!
Charlie | A Senior Session
Senior pictures are an important moment in a young man’s life. It’s a time to showcase who they are and what they stand for, and their personal style is a big part of that. With so many options to choose from, it can be difficult for guys to know what will look best in their senior pictures. That's why I’ve put together some tips to help you get the perfect look for your senior photos.
Think about the image you want to project. Is your look casual and laid back, or polished and professional? This will help you determine what kind of clothing you should wear for your session.
If you’re looking to go casual, consider wearing a t-shirt or hoodie with a pair of jeans. You can also add a baseball cap or a beanie for a laid back feel. For a more polished look, a button-up or a sweater is the way to go. Bringing a jacket for some shots is a nice touch, too.
Remember that the most important thing is to be yourself. You want your senior pictures to reflect who you are, so don’t feel like you have to conform to someone else’s idea of what looks good. Wear what makes you feel confident and comfortable, and your pictures will reflect that.
Choosing the right outfits for your senior pictures can feel stressful, but as long as you go with styles that are YOU, you will love the end result. Remember to think about the image you want to portray, and most importantly, be yourself.

Greg | Senior Team
Today’s senior interview is from Greg! I first met Greg when he was probably just 9 years old, so when his mom reached out to me about doing his senior pictures, I thought I heard her wrong.

What piece of advice would you give to upcoming seniors?:
When I was a freshman, I remember all of the seniors telling me “enjoy high school while you’re here because it goes by in the blink of an eye.” When hearing this, I didn’t think much of it because I had what felt like a lifetime of work ahead of me. Now, I’m a senior, the year is almost halfway over, and I already miss it. So, my advice for upcoming seniors is, if you haven’t cherished your high school years, try to cherish your senior year as much as possible.

This senior guy came to me in the fall for some more urban senior pictures. We decided to hit the town and got some fun shots! It was a great time!

Maria | KRP Real Senior
I met Maria for her senior session one Saturday morning early this fall. The weather looked like it was going to be hit or miss, but we decided to go for it, anyway. When she arrived, I immediately noticed the tall, beautiful, hard-working, volleyball player! She is SO sweet and I had a great time getting to know her. We managed to get almost the whole way through the session before the rain decided it wasn’t going to hold off any longer. We met one other time to wrap up the shoot, and I am so glad we did, because I love the shot of her in her uniform!
