Lily’s senior session was giving mountain fairyt Lily’s senior session was giving mountain fairytale in the best way.

The black dress. The barefoot road shots. The river. The flowers. The soft summer light. Everything came together so beautifully and we felt like she deserved some love on my feed. 

This is why I always say outfits matter just as much as location. A good location is pretty, but the right outfit brings the whole vision to life.

Lily, you absolutely killed this session. I had so much fun with you and your mom.

Some sessions just never get old. Throwing it bac Some sessions just never get old.

Throwing it back to this absolute DREAM of a shoot at Garden of the Gods because this dress and this session deserved another moment in my feed. ✨

And here’s your little senior photo tip:

Sometimes the location is gorgeous… but the outfit is what turns the photos into art.

A statement dress like this adds movement, drama, color, and that “wait… is this actually my senior session?!” feeling.

The best part? This dress is available in my AMP style closet for my seniors who want something extra without having to buy a whole new outfit.

So when we’re planning your session, don’t be afraid to go bold. Don’t be afraid to trust the process. And definitely don’t underestimate what the right outfit can do.

Because sometimes the dress is the moment. 💅🏼

And just like that… our last shoot with the Clas And just like that… our last shoot with the Class of 2026 AMPitupSENIOR team. 🤍

This year went by way too fast, and saying goodbye to this group is honestly bittersweet. From our first shoots, to the laughs, the group sessions, the behind-the-scenes, the little moments, and watching each of you grow throughout your senior year… it has been such an incredible honor to have you girls represent AMP.

You showed up, supported each other, trusted me, and made this year so special in ways I’ll never forget. Each of you brought something unique to this team, and I’m so thankful I got to be part of such an important season in your lives.

To my 2026 girls, thank you for letting me capture your senior year, for being part of this team, and for making this experience what it was. I hope you always look back at these memories and remember how loved, celebrated, and capable you are.

I’m so proud of you girls and so excited to see where life takes each of you next. Once an AMP girl, always an AMP girl. 🤍🎓

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. 💛
