Your Senior Session: More Than Just Photos An Adventure

When you book a session with me, it's not about standing in one spot and forcing awkward smiles. It’s about exploring, laughing, and creating photos that truly capture your personality. Your session will feel more like an adventure than a traditional photoshoot.

Take Morgan’s session, for example. We started near a pasture with a gorgeous mountain backdrop, using a rustic fence and winding road for some creative, country-chic shots. Then, we hiked through one of the main trails, where we were lucky enough to spot wild ponies yes, we got pictures with them! Next, we climbed up on massive boulders, capturing powerful, striking poses that reflected Morgan’s confidence and strength as she steps into the next chapter of her life. We wrapped up in a sunlit field, where she sat in the tall grass, surrounded by the beauty of nature. Every location gave us something different, making her gallery diverse and uniquely her.

What to Wear: Outfits That Let You Be YOU

Wear what makes you feel confident. Your favorite jeans and sneakers? A dress that flows in the wind? A bold color that makes you stand out? If it feels right to you, it'll look amazing in photos.
