Last but definitely not least… Zandra 🎓✨ Z Last but definitely not least… Zandra 🎓✨

Zandra was my final senior from the Class of 2026, and we wrapped up her session at the botanical gardens with the perfect mix of greenery, architecture, and personality.

She brought such a fun, bold style to her senior session the colored hair, the diy  vests, and all the colorful details… it was all so uniquely her, and I love when seniors show up ready to make their session feel like themselves.

Congratulations, Zandra! Moriarty High School is officially in the rearview, and your next chapter at becoming a Lobo is just getting started. 🤍

Ava was one of my AMP Fun-Terns, and when she reac Ava was one of my AMP Fun-Terns, and when she reached out asking if we could do a session with her brother Tyler as a Father’s Day gift, I was immediately obsessed with the idea.

They brought in their baby photos, recreated some cute sibling moments, and honestly… this is the kind of gift that parents hold onto forever. 🤍

The laughs, the teasing, the matching denim, the full-circle moment of watching your babies grow up but still seeing that same bond is so special.

Ava + Tyler, you two made this session so fun. I already know your Dad will love these. 🫶🏼

Some locations become popular for a reason. 🌿✨

My seniors have been booking this dreamy summer spot year after year because once girls see the tall green grass, the water, the mountain views, and how magical it photographs… they want their own version too.

And that’s the fun part.

The location may be the same, but every senior brings her own outfits, personality, posing, and little moments that make the session feel completely hers.

This spot is best in June, July, and August, so if you’ve been saving these photos to your senior session inspo board, this is your sign to book it while it’s still looking this good.

A little heads up: this location does require a travel fee, but she is 100% worth it. 💛

Now booking Class of 2027 summer sessions. Visit my website and complete my contact form. Link in Bio.

Best months for this location: June, July + August.

Makenna truly did it all this senior year. ✨ A Makenna truly did it all this senior year. ✨

A Moriarty High School graduate with a schedule full of extracurriculars, accomplishments, and commitments and somehow she still continued to show up for my team along the way.

That says so much about who she is.

Makenna, I loved having you as part of my Class of 2026 rep team. You carried so much this year, wore so many hats, and still showed up with grace, kindness, and that beautiful smile. I’m so proud of everything you accomplished and so thankful I got to be a small part of your senior year memories.

Congratulations, sweet girl you earned every bit of this moment. 🤍🎓

Kayla’s senior year was full in the best way. 🎓✨

Between school, extracurricular activities, and everything she was involved in at Valley High School, this girl had a lot going on but she still made time to show up for her school and for my Class of 2026 #AMPitupSENIOR Rep team.

That kind of commitment says so much, and it’s something I truly appreciated. 🤍

Kayla, thank you for being such a wonderful part of this team and for letting me capture this chapter for you. I hope these photos always remind you of how much you accomplished, how hard you worked, and how beautifully you finished your senior year.

Congratulations, sweet girl. You did it. ✨
