Adding your personal touches is what makes your senior session extra special.

During our planning, we talked about the items that were meaningful to Cassidy, and she brought along a beautiful bouquet, her childhood stuffy, and her Kindergarten school photo. Each one gave us a chance to create photos that felt personal, sentimental, and completely her. And honestly? These ended up being some of my favorite photos from her session.

Senior photos aren’t just about documenting what you look like at 17 or 18. They’re about capturing the little pieces of your story, too. The things you’ve loved forever, the people and places that shaped you, and all the versions of yourself that got you here.
So yes, bring the cute outfits. But also bring the stuffy. Bring the old photo. Bring whatever makes you think, “This is so me.”

Those might just end up being the photos you love the most. diThese gave her some very sentimental photossenit sh

It’s so much fun including your interests in your senior photos! Kylie is an accomplished dancer, so she wanted to include some dance photos during her senior session. The Memorial Arch in Valley Forge National Park made a stunning backdrop for her dance and traditional photos.

Your senior photos should feel like you! That’s what we kept in mind while planning Corinne’s class of 2027 session. She’s on the cross country team at Great Valley, and we wanted to include her love of running. We also wanted to include her nature loving side, and hopping in the stream to splash around was so much fun!

Senior season is here!
I met Claire in Valley Forge for her Senior Session and it didn’t disappoint! Valley Forge is one of my favorite spots because you get so much variety in one location—flower fields, stone walls, the granite arch, and gorgeous golden light.
Pro tip: Bring a few outfits to add even more variety to your gallery!
