Let’s talk makeup for senior photos.

Speaking from personal experience, having your makeup professionally done means one less thing to figure out on session day, and a little opportunity to feel glammed up before we start!

A great makeup artist like Kenzie Grace Beauty knows how to bring out your features, create a finish that photographs beautifully, and help your makeup last through your session. Kenzie specializes in keeping your look soft and natural. The goal is to feel like you!

If professional makeup isn’t possible, that is absolutely fine. If you’re doing your own, try going a little stronger than your everyday look, especially with blush and eyes. No need to pile on foundation or try a completely new look last minute.

Save this for your session prep, and Class of 2028, this is the kind of guidance I’ll help you with along the way. Join my Senior Priority List through the link in my bio for planning tips and first access when bookings open in March.

Here’s to the weekend!

Happy homecoming weekend to these girls!!💙💚😍

Can’t say enough about the Liberty High School senior cheerleaders. They wanted to commemorate their years of teamwork and friendship with a special senior session and we had THE BEST time getting creative with these shots!!

Because senior year deserves more than just a traditional team photo right?! Think your favorite people, a personalized shoot just for you, a little editorial energy, and photos that capture this time forever.

And now I’m thinking I need more of this!! Whether you’re on the cheer team, dance team, or just a group of best friends who’ve been through it all together, this is SUCH a fun way to remember your senior year.

And Class of 2028? Start dreaming up your own version😍

Seattle Eastside senior cheer teams and besties — if you’re at Liberty, Bellevue, Issaquah, Eastlake, Newport, or anywhere around Bellevue and Seattle, I’d LOVE to create something like this for your group.

Grab your girls. I’ll bring the ideas✨

Will loves being outdoors, so that’s where we took his session. He was just such a natural and so up for whatever I suggested, even adding ideas of his own. Love when it becomes a collaboration like that!

This is why I love working with senior guys. Give me a little something about who they are and what they’re into, and we can build a whole session around it. I’ll help with the rest.

Seniors, they’re starting to figure out their own taste, their own interests, where they want to go in the world. Getting to photograph them right here, before whatever comes next, it’s pretty special.

Class of 2028, get ahead of the game and sign up for my Senior Session Priority List. You’ll get priority booking as well as tips on how to make the most of your senior session! Link in bio.

When Ulara booked her session, she told me she was still a little unfamiliar with the whole idea of senior pictures and was hoping for help with what to wear, how to pose, basically all of it. The one thing she did know? She loved the photos with flowers.

So flowers it was. 🌸

We planned her outfit via text and arranged professional makeup with Kenzie Grace Beauty. The day of her session, we wandered the garden and I talked her through every pose as we went.

And yes, the light that night was ridiculously pretty, but my favorite part was watching her get more and more comfortable in front of the camera. She was a natural!!

Also, can we give her a little credit for handling the whole booking process herself? She took the lead on getting everything set up. So impressed by her from the very beginning!

A PSA for any senior who looks at senior photos and thinks, “I would have NO idea what to do.” You don’t have to. I will tell you where to stand, what to do with your hands, where to look, help with outfits…all of it!

You just show up. I’ve got you.

Mason was SO easy to photograph. Super laid back, up for anything, and by the end he was throwing out pose ideas and fully into the creative process, yes please.

This is also why I really enjoy senior guys.

They don’t need to come in knowing what to do. They don’t need to have a Pinterest board or a whole vision mapped out (but great if they do!). Sometimes all I need is one thing they care about and we can build from there.

For Mason, track is a big part of his high school story, so of course it made sense to photograph him there. But I also wanted him to have the more classic senior photos too, so we mixed in the waterfront, golden light, a couple different looks and ended up with a gallery that feels so him.

And moms of senior boys, this is your sign not to skip the senior photos just because your son says he “doesn’t care.”

They may not care about planning every detail, but once we get going, they usually surprise you.

And years from now, I know they’ll be really glad you made them do it🙂.

Excited for grad photos in the spring, Mason! Have an amazing senior year.

I‘ve known Z since pre-K and oh my goodness has she grown into a beauty both inside and out. She had the glowy, flowery vision and summer delivered. She also wanted some fun nods to her love for soccer and childhood stuffie and of course we worked those in amongst the flowers and glow.
I can’t wait to see what’s next for this girl. Only this setting could have matched your inner glow!!✨✨

Had THE best time with these two capturing them in their finest prom fits💕. Friends since high school, we really got a chance to lean in to their sweet connection and they made it soooooo easy! Glad you guys had fun and thanks for letting me capture this special tradition☺️🌷

You do not need to know how to pose to get photos like this.
Showing up not knowing what to do is what I expect and working with me means I’ll be telling you exactly what to do the whole time. How to stand, what to do with your hands, where to look, etc. And if you don’t feel the direction, we never force it, we try something different. All it takes is just a few minutes before it starts feeling pretty natural and that’s when the best shots happen.
Just a few summer sessions left!
