September feels a little different when you have a senior.
For so many years, the school routine has just been part of life. Then senior year gets here, and suddenly you start realizing how many “lasts” are happening. The last first day of school. The last homecoming. The last football season. The last year of seeing that backpack dropped by the door every afternoon.
At the same time, there’s so much excitement. College applications, graduation plans, figuring out what comes next. You get to watch them start making decisions about their own future and becoming more independent right in front of you.
That’s one of the reasons I love senior photos. I get to photograph them exactly as they are right now, in this weird little space between being the kid you’ve raised and the adult they’re becoming.
Class of 2027, soak this year in. It’s going to go by way faster than it feels right now.
