Your senior session should be more than just pretty pictures—it should be a reflection of who you are! This is your time to celebrate everything that makes you, you. From your interests to your style, there are so many ways to add a personal touch to your session. Not sure where to start? Don’t worry, I’ve got you! Here are some fun and easy ways to make your senior photographs totally unique.
1. Choose a Location That Feels Like Home
Think about places that mean something to you. Do you love the outdoors? A scenic park or flower field could be perfect. More of a city person? Downtown Kansas City has stunning architecture and fun urban vibes. Maybe there’s a special coffee shop or bookstore you always visit. The right location sets the mood and makes your session feel authentic.
2. Wear What Makes You Feel Amazing
Your outfit should make you feel confident and comfortable. If you love bold colors, go for them! If neutrals are more your vibe, embrace them. Bring a mix of casual and dressy outfits to add variety to your session. Don’t forget to accessorize—hats, jackets, and layered pieces add extra personality to your photographs.
3. Bring Props That Represent You
Props aren’t just for themed sessions—they help tell your story! Love music? Bring your guitar or favorite records. Play a sport? Grab your jersey, soccer ball, or letterman jacket. Into books? Let’s take a few cozy shots with your favorite reads. Even something as simple as a bouquet of flowers or a cool pair of sunglasses can add so much personality.
4. Include Your Favorite Hobby or Activity
What do you love doing in your free time? Whether it’s painting, skateboarding, baking, or playing an instrument, let’s capture you in your element. Action shots or candid moments of you enjoying your passion make for some of the most memorable senior photographs.
5. Think About the Vibe
Do you want your photographs to feel soft and dreamy? Bold and edgy? Fun and playful? Your style, location, and posing can all work together to create the exact mood you’re looking for. If you’re not sure, we can plan it out together!

As the class of 2024 prepares for their next chapter, it was wonderful to capture Ava from Louisburg High School! A session that seamlessly blended her sophistication and spunk. We got to explore the iconic Kauffman Performing Arts Center and the vibrant streets of downtown Kansas City.
Ava, a radiant senior with a personality as dynamic as her wardrobe, effortlessly transitioned between three distinct outfits. The session kicked off with Ava donning a sweet white dress that exuded timeless elegance. Against the backdrop of the Kauffman, the soft hues complemented Ava’s natural grace, creating a series of portraits that encapsulated the purity of her senior year.
Transitioning to downtown Kansas City, Ava embraced her vibrant side in a spunky mosaic top paired with crisp white jeans.

For the grand finale, Ava showcased her bold and daring side in a silky maroon top paired with sleek black leather pants. This ensemble perfectly mirrored her confidence and determination as she approaches the threshold of a new chapter in life. Against the backdrop of the city’s skyline, the rich colors and textures created a stunning visual narrative, symbolizing the limitless possibilities awaiting Ava beyond high school.
