While my favorite part of a senior session is always the actual shoot, I have a special love for the reveal when I show the images for the first time. As a parent, I know how the day-to-day can keep us focused on the present. But during the reveal, you see your senior in a whole new light—on the cusp of adulthood, poised at the beginning of countless new experiences, opportunities, and adventures. It's hard to believe that the little one you just dropped off for their first day of kindergarten is now ready to take on the world (though they may still text you to ask if colors and whites go in the same load of laundry!) Reactions from clients range from, “Oh wow, this makes it real!” to “I can’t believe it’s already their senior year!” or simply, “Beautiful!”—often accompanied by a few tears. I know I’ve done my job well when I see a mom or dad get a little misty-eyed. As a parent myself, I vividly remember so many of my daughter's high school "lasts": her last choir concert, last cheer competition, last award ceremony. To all the parents of the Class of 2025 seniors, hang in there—you’re in for a rollercoaster ride of emotions! But it’s also a joy to see how much they’ve grown and matured. Here’s to a fantastic year—make every moment count!
