Looking for an experienced Nebraska senior photographer who captures meaningful, personality-packed portraits with heart? Check out some of the Class of 2025 senior sessions filled with creativity, connection, and personal flair. Whether you're dreaming of including horses, hobbies, books, or a splash in the pond, you'll find all the inspiration you need here!


Every senior portrait session is just a little different, and that’s exactly what I love about photographing them! From planning the perfect location to showing off what makes each high school senior unique, it’s one of my favorite things to create a portrait experience that feels just right for them. I had the absolute honor of photographing some amazing seniors from the Class of 2025, and I’m so excited to share a little bit about their sessions here on the blog.


Saige: From Softball Dugout to Horses & Pond Water


Saige’s session had it all—her softball gear, her beloved horses, and even a dip in the pond! I loved the energy she brought and the way we could highlight the different sides of her personality. Her love for animals and sports was so fun to capture, and the pond portraits were an unforgettable ending to her summer shoot.


Maile: Barrel Racing Passion Captured in Dynamic Portraits​


Maile is a talented high school barrel racer, and it was a no-brainer to include her horse, Tuff Callie Cat, in her session. We also made time for some relaxed portraits that let her natural smile shine. She chose to host her session at the barn, the perfect backdrop of many memories for her! She was so easygoing and fun to work with, and I loved blending the rustic with the refined for her gallery.


Carolyn: A Literary and Theatrical Journey Through Senior Year​


Carolyn brought along a stack of her favorite books and immediately felt at home in the golden evening light. She’s passionate about theater, and you could feel that expressive energy in her session. We captured some quiet moments and a few bold, dramatic ones too—just like her.


Gage: Embracing the Great Outdoors in a Classic Senior Session


Gage opted for a classic outdoor session that felt true to him—no fuss, just clean, confident portraits in Nebraska’s natural beauty. We explored a couple of scenic backdrops at a private location, and kept it relaxed so he could just be himself!


Emma: Boho Vibes and Disney Dreams in a Musical Portrait Experience


Emma came in with a vision, and I was all for it! She’s a powerhouse vocalist with a rockstar vibe and a serious love of Disney. Her style was a dreamy mix of boho and bold, and her session was packed with personality. We laughed the whole time, and her joy really shines in every frame.


Ainsley: Quiet Moments and Love in Nature's Embrace​


Ainsley’s love for photography and reading showed up in her session in the sweetest ways—books, quiet moments, and soft natural light. She was so thoughtful and kind, and I loved the peaceful, reflective feel that came through in her portraits.


Devin: Simplicity and Authenticity in a Natural Setting​


Devin kept things simple, and it totally worked. His outdoor session was simple, easygoing, and full of flattering evening light. I always say it’s not about the bells and whistles—it’s about capturing you, exactly as you are. That’s exactly what we did with Devin!




I’m so grateful to each of these seniors (and their families!) for trusting me with such an important part of their senior year. If you’re thinking about booking a Class of 2026 session, let’s start dreaming up your perfect session! Whether you want to include horses, hobbies, sports, or just the great outdoors, I’m here for it.
