Sienna’s summer session did not disappoint! When we do sessions at this location it is 100% in the water! Good thing it is a time of year it feels really good, it’s pretty shallow, a little tough to maneuver around in but absolutely gorgeous! I love these blues on her and the mix of a long and short dress! Her hair and makeup are on point and those nails! I try to guide my seniors and families and help them understand that the small details can make the biggest impact. All the hard work is done up front so that makes the session just fun! It’s like taking a test. If you study for the test, you go into the test feeling good. If you don’t study for the test, you don’t feel so good! Oh wow, that was a great analogy! haha

Sienna is one of our Season Seniors! She might be small and beautiful but know that this girl is also tough and mighty in so many ways. I can’t wait to showcase all of her hobbies and interests as we work together during this BIG milestone year for her.

#committed

Prior to April 12, interest from D1 & D2 colleges to play soccer
April 12, tears her ACL, MCL & meniscus
May 11, surgery
Offer from one college, others kind of went quiet, some said let us know when you are healed up.
If you don’t know about this injury it is a VERY LONG recovery. She cannot play soccer until mid May at the earliest, right around graduation.
Spent her senior year on the sidelines cheering her high school team on, taking stats, and their number one fan!
She has been so dedicated to her recovery. PT is strong, back at CrossFit gym doing most things modified and mastering her pull ups! Getting stronger every day!
She has good days and bad days as expected! Wondering if her dream of playing college soccer would even still happen. Not only being on a college soccer team but actually playing, scoring goals, warming up, putting on uniform, getting sweaty, cheering her team on and having that bond and connection with like minded people!
Idea…
Her favorite club coach moved back to Wyoming to coach college soccer. He has gone above and beyond to connect her to colleges, guide her in responding to text messages and emails and has given her books to read to help her reach her potential! She has read every book and has followed his guidance with so much gratitude and grit! So I sent a crazy text to him and asked him if he had room for Pressly on his team. He said, heck yes!! My idea was that she could get back into soccer shape and play under her favorite coach and then being that it is a two year college, their focus is transferring kids so then he could continue getting her connected to bigger colleges or if she loves it there she can stay there.
Idea presented to Pressly. Her response, “Wyoming”?? I said, that is what people say about Idaho!
Next was a road trip to watch a game, tour the college, tour the towns and you know what? She loved the small town feel, loved the idea of playing for Rob, and loved the campus and all it had to offer!
The video of her telling Rob she wanted to commit was priceless!
I’m so proud of you Pressly! I write this with tears streaming down my face, I get to still be a soccer mom!!!

One day I was in high school and graduating the same year as her dad and now I am doing her senior portraits! It has been so great to stay in contact with high school friends and their families. When Jamie contacted me to do Tia’s senior portraits, I was honored!

Tia is one of our season senior tribe members. Her first session was in the water in super cute summer dresses and she is just so naturally stunning! Look at that beautiful girl! I look forward to the rest of her sessions. We are capturing her with volleyball and updating family portraits at her fall session.

JT & Jamie…thank you for trusting me to capture Tia’s BIG milestone year! I look forward to the rest of Tia’s sessions. Way to rock your first session, Tia! See you in the fall!!

Are you going into your senior year full of excitement? Sienna is one of our season senior tribe members! She rocked her first session! She is actually doing a few summer-ish sessions, a fall session and then a winter session! It is all going to go by so fast!

We started off downtown and ended in a community garden! This girl is on fire! We will capture her in the water at her next session to wrap up her summer sessions! School has started and Sienna is excited to be in her senior year. I’m excited to share her hobbies in the upcoming sessions…I have very bad @ss girls in front of my camera these days! I’m here for it! I love to capture these leaders!

So fun, Sienna! Let’s do it again soon! See you in the water next!

Aubrey is one of our season seniors, class of 2023. Her summer session did not disappoint! Urban, flowers, water…oh my!

We started downtown and then we went to the rose garden. The rose garden was a first for me and I will be back! It was gorgeous. For someone like me who likes her subjects to get IN to things, roses were a little challenging without getting poked and scratched. But we figured it out and I’m so happy with how they turned out. I mean, it doesn’t hurt that I had a gorgeous subject! After this we headed to some water!

Aubrey Rose, you rocked your session kid! See you in the fall!

Jaxon here is one of our handsome season senior tribe members! Jaxon loves to fish so he brought one of his fishing poles to his summer session in the creek.

Look at his smile! Such a great kid, so kind and respectful and went along with my ideas with no complaints. Maybe a little hesitant but no complaining. I could tell he wasn’t super excited about pictures so we hustled through these and were done in 30 minutes. A boys dream come true! haha His mom watched from afar and every time I looked up at her she was smiling. Way to make your mama smile, Jaxon!

It is guaranteed you will get hot, cold, wet, dirty, etc when working with me. So I am not for everyone. But I do love what I do and love my clients!

Thanks for a great summer session, Jaxon! See you in the Fall!

Summer session in the books! Flowers, water, garden, and a dress! Those all speak summer! Your golden tanned skinned, blonde hair and toes in the water were all the signs of a great summer session!

Our goal with the season seniors is to capture the signs of the season so the senior can wear seasonal clothing, and capture seasonal things. This also allows for different hair styles, different colors in clothing and surroundings but also these kids get a little more confident in front of the camera and see their beauty and their changes throughout their senior year! My goal is to show everyone how beautiful they are!

We have a record 16 season seniors this year! They are all so different and they are all beautiful, inside and out! Some kids are doing two seasons, some three seasons and some are doing four. Of course we are still offering single sessions/season and those are awesome too! Either way, we are here to capture your senior, who they are right now and to have keepsakes to display now and to enjoy later!

Thanks for such a fun session, Chloe! See you in the fall!!

Anna is one of our 2023 Season Seniors! What a night we had for her first session! Beautiful girl, beautiful lighting!

Anna is doing two seasons, summer and winter! Her winter session will also include family portraits. You know I love to mix the two!

Anna is a beautiful girl inside and out and I’m so excited for her to experience her senior year! Have a great year Anna and I will see you in the winter!

Maddie is a season senior tribe member and her summer session did not disappoint!

This was a first for me, meet Sheldon! We started Maddie’s session in Freak Alley with and without Sheldon the tortoise. We then ventured to the Old Penitentiary and captured Maddie with her soccer ball, journaling and no props. We then rounded off her session at sunset in the sunflowers.

I have only known Maddie in a soccer environment so it was super fun to get to know her otherwise. She is a beast on the soccer field and super rad off the soccer field!

Maddie was a lot of fun to photograph so naturally I’m excited for her fall session! You are beautiful, Maddie! See you in the fall, kid!!
