September has me feeling reflective. Maybe it’s the ending of one season and the beginning of another.

I’m trying to get better at noticing what I want more of, instead of just continuing to do more of the same.

And lately, I keep finding myself wanting to create things that aren’t just photo sessions.

I’m paying attention to that.

I’m still not entirely sure what all of it looks like yet, but ideas are starting to take shape. New things I want to make. New ways I want to use my skills. Maybe even a few things that have very little to do with photography at all.

I don’t have it all figured out yet.

But it feels exciting to follow the ideas before I know exactly where they’re going :D

This is what a senior photoshoot with me looks like...

Standing in the weeds.
Climbing down by the creek.
A spectacular sunset behind the dunes.
Me dragging a reflector through all of it and occasionally saying, “Okay, trust me on this one.”

We'll wander. Try things that may or may not work. Follow the light. Have an adventure.

Class of 2027, we're in the thick of it. And it's been a really good summer.

September and October dates are still remaining, and believe it or not I'm already gearing up for the Class of 2028!

Thank you to my beautiful client Paige and her Mom for these behind the scenes from her photo session :)

Movement > posing.

Walk. Twirl. Run. Let the wind catch your skirt.

Forget for a second that there’s even a camera there.

That’s usually where the best images happen.

Class of 2027 seniors — I still have a few September & October sessions available this year!

One of the first questions almost every senior (and mom!) asks me is:

“Where should I take my senior pictures?”

But after photographing seniors for more than 15 years, I’ve learned there’s actually a better question:

Where do you feel most like yourself?

Maybe that’s barefoot along Lake Michigan.

Maybe it’s wandering through wildflowers.

Maybe you love brick streets, cute shops and a little downtown energy.

Or maybe it’s the volleyball court, horse barn, dance studio or family property where so many of your memories have already been made.

I've been working on putting together a HUGE guide to some of my favorite senior picture locations throughout Eastern Wisconsin—including what each location feels like, who I think it’s perfect for, what to wear and all the little things I’ve learned after years of photographing there.

If you're starting to dream about your senior pictures, start here. Save this. Then share it with a friend who will be planning their senior session soon too!

The Ultimate Guide to Senior Picture Locations in Eastern Wisconsin is now on the blog: https://rebeccapfeifer.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-senior-picture-locations-in-eastern-wisconsin-and-how-to-choose-the-one-that-feels-most-like-you/

Turns out, being a photographer does NOT make you the perfect photography client.

We recently had our own family photos taken with Kristel, and apparently I needed a few reminders of my own. 😂

I tell clients to try on their outfits ahead of time. Sit down in them. Move around. Make sure everything actually works.

Guess who showed up with a top that was too long and shorts that suddenly felt WAY too short when I sat down? 🙋‍♀️

Thankfully, I had also brought a fluffy skirt that felt a little dressier and a little less “me.” I almost wasn't sure about it—and then most of my favorite photographs ended up being the ones where I'm wearing it.

I was also reminded that walking naturally through sand while simultaneously looking cute is significantly harder than I've been making it look from behind the camera!

And Jason had gum in his mouth. Again. I swear this is at least the third photoshoot where I've had to photoshop gum out of this man's mouth. 😂

But maybe the biggest reminder was this:

None of that mattered.

When I look through our photographs, I'm not looking for the one where every hair is perfectly in place or all three of us are looking at the camera.

I'm looking for the way Kai still fits in our arms. The way we laugh together. The hugs and kisses and snuggles. What it felt like to be together on the shores of Lake Michigan, a place we've come to love, in this particular season of our lives.

Someday these photographs are going to look very different. He's eventually going to be taller than me. And this version of our family will exist only in our memories and photographs.

So yes, plan the outfits. Take the hair tie off your wrist. For the love of photoshop, spit out your gum.

But then let the rest go.

Love on your people. Trust your photographer. And actually enjoy being together.

That's the part you're really going to want to remember. ❤️

Proof that senior pictures definitely don't require a field of flowers.

Sometimes what we need is a downtown street, good light, and an outfit you feel amazing in.

Simple. Easy. Stunning.

Can't wait to share more from Ainsley's photoshoot!

This might be my favorite part of the whole process!

We spend lots of time planning the session—the outfits, the locations, all the little things that make it feel like you. Then we spend an evening creating a whole collection of photographs from this one very specific season of your life.

And eventually, they end up here.

Not buried somewhere in your camera roll. Not sitting in a folder on a computer.

In your hands.

There is just something different about seeing your photographs printed. And knowing this is something you'll still be able to pull off the shelf 10, 20, 30 years from now.

When a family trusts me with one senior, it means so much. When they come back and trust me with another? That’s something I don't take lightly.

I’ve had the privilege of photographing both Kaitlyn (Class of 2025) and now Kadience (Class of 2027) for their senior portraits, and reading their Mom's review made me incredibly grateful—not only that they loved their photographs, but that both girls had an experience that felt fun, natural and relaxed.

That part matters just as much to me as the final images.

And a very deserved thank-you to Leigh Raeder-All Things Beauty, too, for helping both girls feel absolutely amazing.

Flip to see throwbacks from Kaitlyn's session - including one of the sisters together!

Thank you so much Feldmann family for trusting us with two such meaningful seasons in your family’s life.

Twenty years in, and apparently our idea of a romantic anniversary getaway is a little cabin in the woods, drinking coffee slowly to the sounds of the river and birds in the backyard, a good nature hike, and having absolutely nowhere we need to be. These may seem like ordinary moments, but I think those are the best.
