Sneak peek from our themed country 4th of July sho Sneak peek from our themed country 4th of July shoot with a few of my 2027 #AMPitupSENIOR girls.

Red, white, denim, tall grass, cowboy boots, and the sweetest group of girls making summer memories together. This is exactly what I love about this team. It’s more than just pretty photos. It’s friendships, confidence, belly laughs, and moments they’ll get to look back on forever.

Watching these girls show up, have fun, hype each other up, and fully lean into the moment reminded me why I love creating experiences like this for my reps. The photos are beautiful, but the memories behind them are what make them even better.

This little summer shoot has my whole heart and so do these girls ❤️🤍💙

Bucket list shoot: unlocked. I have always wanted Bucket list shoot: unlocked.

I have always wanted to do a senior session at Disneyland my home away from home,
and the stars just happened to line up when Minnie, one of my 25/26 #AMPitupSENIOR reps, was there at the same time I was visiting the park. 

So naturally… we planned an impromptu photoshoot for funsies.

Red, white, denim, Mickey ears, Main Street, and a little Disney magic. Honestly, this one was just for the memories, and I’m so glad we made it happen.

Minnie, you were the cutest little firecracker. 

I’m so ready to show you all more from her shoot so stay tuned!

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. 💅🏼
