Okay moms… who still has their kiddo’s favorite childhood stuffed animal tucked away somewhere? 🥹🤍 Drop a 🧸 if you do!

When Katie’s mom grabbed her favorite childhood stuffies on the way out the door “just in case”… it ended up being the BEST idea ever ✨

I had actually recently seen this idea and planned to start suggesting it for my 2027 seniors—but Katie’s mom was already ahead of me 🥹

Meet Platy the Platypus and Roscoe the dog 🤍 The two stuffies Katie absolutely couldn’t live without as a little girl. Including them in her senior session was such a sweet reminder of how quickly time passes.

The days are long… but the years really are short.

Katie wrapped up her final Season Senior session in the blooming orchards, and she looked absolutely stunning 🌸 She is beautiful inside and out, and photographing her this year has been especially emotional because I’ve been capturing her life since she was around ONE year old 😭 Oh my heart.

And now? She’s graduating and heading off to Arizona State University 🎓✨

Katie, keep being YOU. I’m so excited for your next chapter and so proud of the amazing young woman you’ve become 🤍

Enjoy graduation and keep smiling, kiddo!
