Mom to five boys over here 🙋‍♀️, so trust me when I say that senior guy sessions are my jam! LOL

I know how fast this moment goes, and I love capturing guys in a way that feels authentic to them.

But boys, take at least ONE good smiling photo for your mama! She will love you forever for it…. ask me how I know!😂

Moms of senior boys, are you ready for this big milestone?! 😭💙

Prints can be tricky in photos, but when done right? So good.

✅ Small, subtle prints—like florals or soft plaids—are super flattering.
❌ Avoid loud, big, or super busy patterns—they can take away from you!
✨ Pro tip: If you love prints, pair them with solid pieces to keep things balanced.

Are you a prints person or a neutrals-only? Let me know!

Senior sessions on the ranch = the best kind of sessions. 🌾

And when you’re as kind and sweet as Emma? Even Turbo (my photo-bombing horse) had to join in! 🐴

If you could take photos with any animal during your senior session, what would it be? A horse? Your dog? A bunny? Tell me below!

Guess what photos you’ll end up loving the most from your senior pictures….

The ones that make you feel like YOU. ✨

Whether you're rocking your go-to jeans and boots, dressing it up a little, or bringing along something that tells your story—your session should reflect exactly who you are in this season of life.

No stiff poses. No pretending. Just the real, amazing YOU.

From the moment Emma came to her session with her boots and hat in hand, I knew this session was going to be special. Emma is every bit the definition of a country girl—down-to-earth, naturally beautiful, and totally in her element surrounded by fields, fence lines, and golden summer light.

Her confidence and charm showed in every picture, especially when she threw on that classic cowboy hat. It isn't just an accessory, it is a part of who she is.

We explored the backroads, leaned up against weathered barns, and danced in the tall grass as the sun started to set. Emma was effortless in front of the camera, and her session was so much fun! She was never short on smiles, and her little touch of sass made every photo authentically her!

Of course, we couldn’t finish the day without some quick snapshots with Turbo, who clearly wasn’t about to miss his moment. He trotted in like he owned the place (because let’s be honest, he kind of does), and his guest appearance literally made Emma's session.... she was obsessed with him and loved every single photo she got with him!

Emma, your senior session was so much fun! Thank you for choosing me to be your senior photographer.

To the Class of 2027, your turn is coming fast, and my summer calendar is already almost full! If you're dreaming of a session that feels like you, especially out in the country, now’s the time to grab your spot.

I only have a few dates left, and once they're gone, they’re gone!

Wearing neutral tones for your senior session lets you be the focus, your smile, your eyes, and your personality.

It also helps your surroundings shine, whether we’re out in golden fields, by the lake, or walking through town.

Neutrals are timeless and photograph beautifully in every setting.

So if you’re stuck on what to wear… You can never go wrong with classic, muted tones that let YOU take center stage. ✨

Blacks, greys, whites, tans….. always look good! ;)

If you're a high school senior in Bismarck, ND, and wondering when the best time is to schedule your senior photos, you’re in the right place! I absolutely love capturing stunning senior photos in Bismarck, North Dakota, and I have two favorite seasons for your session—summer and fall. Each season offers something unique, and today I'll break down why these are the absolute best times for your senior session.

Summer is hands-down one of the best times for your Bismarck senior session—and here’s why:

1. Golden Hour Glow

Longer days mean more time for that dreamy golden-hour glow. The sun sets late, giving us plenty of time to capture soft, warm, and flattering light that makes your photos absolutely shine.

2. Lush Greenery & Vibrant Colors

If you love bold, bright, and colorful backgrounds, summer in North Dakota is perfect! Parks, open fields, and riverside locations are full of life and rich color, making your senior portraits pop.

3. Flexible Scheduling

With school out, summer allows for more flexibility in scheduling. Whether you’re traveling, working, or involved in sports, we can find the perfect time to fit your session in without the stress of schoolwork!

4. Casual & Fun Vibes

Want to include your favorite summer outfits? A flowy dress, denim shorts, or a fun, breezy outfit? Summer gives you so many options to showcase your personal style in a relaxed and comfortable setting.

If you’re dreaming of cozy, earthy, and warm tones, fall is another fantastic time for senior photos in Bismarck and surrounding areas.

1. Gorgeous Fall Foliage

North Dakota’s fall colors are breathtaking! If you love deep oranges, reds, and yellows, fall provides a stunning backdrop for your session. Whether in the woods, a local park, or a country road, you’ll have a perfect autumn setting.

2. Cooler Temperatures

Not a fan of the summer heat? Fall offers crisp air and comfortable temps, meaning you won’t have to worry about sweating through your outfit choices!

3. Cozy Outfit Choices

Sweaters, boots, layered looks—fall fashion is seriously unbeatable for senior photos in North Dakota. The textures and layers add so much dimension to your portraits, making them feel warm and inviting.

4. A Unique Seasonal Feel

Fall photos just have a different, cozy vibe that sets them apart. If you want a warm, timeless feel to your senior photos, fall is an excellent choice.

Both summer and fall senior sessions in Bismarck, ND offer something special! If you’re all about bright, fun, and colorful, summer is perfect. If you’re into warm, cozy, and rich tones, fall might be your ideal choice.

Still unsure? Why not do BOTH? I offer a split session option so you can capture the best of both seasons!

Summer dates are filling fast! If you want those dreamy golden-hour shots, don’t wait. Book your Bismarck senior session today!
