Another school year has come and gone and I can hardly believe it. This weekend, the 2024 seniors I’ve photographed will walk across the stage to accept their hard-earned diplomas. I’ve seen many of them grow up over the years through family photos, sports with my own children, or they’re family friends. I am so proud and had to take a moment to reflect on the 2024 seniors here in Williston, ND.
As a senior photographer, I want the locations we choose for sessions to be meaningful and beautiful. We got creative and adventurous with the locations for 2024 senior photos! Seniors like Kendra & Kaelyn Romo opted to have their photos taken on their family’s farm, which I loved. Not only was it beautiful, their senior photos have tons of sentimental meaning behind them. Others, like Brecklyn Pippenger, McKenna Rehak, and Peyton Vannatta chose scenic parks like Lewis & Clark State Park or Glacier National Park.
These locations are scenic showstoppers! There’s tons of variety for backgrounds, and you can make a day of it post-session! Lacey Sime and her family did exactly that as they combined family & senior photos in Sedona, AZ. This year was also the first that I was able to capture senior photos in my very own studio, so several sessions were celebrating a milestone for me as well.
Several seniors this year wanted to incorporate sports into their photos and for good reason. Parents & seniors alike know all too well how much time and effort goes into athletics in high school. Including uniforms, equipment, and even taking photos at the basketball court, baseball field, or ice rink are all great ways to pay homage to time well spent doing what they love. Together, we got some great shots of North Dakota seniors playing the sports they love. For many of these young men & women, they wore their high school numbers for one of the last times in their photos. It’s always a ton of fun & I love the variety they have in their galleries by incorporating these props.
If you’d like to get on my waitlist for 2025 senior photos, be sure to message me! I pride myself in giving my seniors all of the info they need for the senior sessions of their dreams. I even have a VIP mailing list that sends out exclusive tips and guides for the upcoming seniors who intend on having me capture their senior memories. With each group of seniors, I am blown away by their creativity and hearing of their plans for the future. If only thing remains unchanged for the upcoming 2025 school year, I hope that my incoming seniors are just as amazing and fun to work with as this year’s. Congratulations Class of 2024! I wish you all the best in what life has in store for you in your next chapter.
