How is it possible that these kids we’ve watched grow up are suddenly packing their bags and heading off to college?! 😭❤️

Peyton was one of my 2026 seniors, and I’m pretty sure she has officially moved into her dorm and started this next big adventure at Cal Poly Humboldt. HOW is that even possible?! 🥹🎓

For her final session, we wanted to capture this beautiful season of life—and all the little pieces that make Peyton uniquely Peyton. 🤍

We started among the gorgeous spring blooms, with Peyton soaking in all that beauty and sunshine. 🌸 Then, of course, we had to bring in her twin sister and her family to capture the people who have been by her side through it all.

And I absolutely love that she brought along her Cal Poly Humboldt sweatshirt. There’s something pretty special about seeing a senior wearing the sweatshirt of the college she’s about to call home. It makes this whole “growing up” thing feel very real! 🎓💚

Peyton is beautiful inside and out, and it has been such a gift getting to watch her grow through this season of life.

I’m going to miss seeing this girl on the other side of my camera, but I have a feeling she’s going to do some pretty amazing things at Cal Poly Humboldt and beyond. ✨

Peyton, go chase the dreams, embrace the adventure, and make your mark. Your next chapter is going to be a good one. 🤍

And if you ask me… the world could use a little more of Peyton’s light. ✨
