Senior year isn’t just a milestone for the senior…it’s a milestone for the whole family. ❤️

While we were capturing Charli’s senior pictures, we made sure to get Mom, Dad, her brother, and of course, the family dog in front of the camera too!

Because this season of life is BIG.

Soon, routines change. Kids graduate. They move away, start college, careers and lives of their own. Getting everyone together becomes a little harder, and those everyday moments that once felt so ordinary suddenly become the ones you miss the most.

That’s why I will ALWAYS encourage my seniors to include their family in at least part of their session.

You’re already together. You’re already dressed. And most importantly—you’re all in this chapter of life together.

Take the family picture. Include the dog. Hug your kids. Let Mom and Dad have a picture together. Capture the relationships exactly as they are right now.

Someday, these photographs won’t just show you what everyone looked like.

They’ll remind you what this season of your family felt like. ❤️
