Senior Year in Full Color: Why Senior Memberships Are the Ultimate Experience
From summer roses to cap and gown confetti, Molly’s senior sessions show just how much magic happens when you document more than one moment. With a senior membership, we captured her story across seasons — and celebrated every chapter along the way. If you're dreaming of senior photos that feel like you in every way, this is for you.
One of my favorite things about being a senior photographer in Omaha is getting to offer senior memberships- sessions that stretch across seasons and milestones, letting each senior tell their full story.
For seniors who want different seasons, cap and gown pictures, or even best friend sessions, the membership gives them space to celebrate it all.
Molly was the perfect example. She stepped in front of my camera four times throughout her senior year — and while every session was beautiful, I’m sharing two that really show what’s possible when you don’t have to squeeze it all into one day.
We started early — like summer-before-senior-year early — with a beautiful session at Memorial Park’s rose garden. The roses were in full bloom, and the sunshine added such a dreamy glow. It gave Molly a chance to get her full senior session done before the school year even began, and the confidence boost and excitement it gave her heading into senior year? So worth it.
Then, as graduation approached, we had one last celebratory session — and it was everything. Cap and gown photos, a confetti pop, and a sweet nod to her next chapter: Iowa State University. We captured those moments at her high school and a nearby park, bringing it full circle from where her year started to where it was all leading.
What I love about senior memberships is how they let us tell the whole story — not just a highlight reel. Whether it’s sun-soaked florals in summer, bestie moments in the fall, or tossing your cap in the spring, you don’t have to choose just one vibe. So much can change over the course of senior year — your confidence grows, your friendships deepen, and your plans for the future start to take shape. A membership lets us capture every part of that transformation, not just a snapshot of one day. I love seeing my seniors more than once — checking in, cheering them on, and capturing how they grow through the year. It’s the kind of connection and creativity that just doesn’t fit into a single session.
Molly made the most of her time in front of the camera, and I’m so thankful she trusted me to celebrate these chapters with her.
Thinking about doing more than one session for senior year? A senior membership offers more value than booking multiple standalone sessions — and gives you the flexibility to choose when and how you want to celebrate your year.
Let’s create something totally yours — every season, every milestone. I’d love to hear your vision.

Second Session, Double the Joy: Celebrating Graduation and College Plans- Senior Pictures in Omaha
From blooming flowers to graduation gowns, this Omaha senior session had it all! We celebrated Aby’s amazing year and her big college plans with BVU. See how this radiant senior rocked her second session and why I love being a senior photographer in Omaha!
One of my favorite things about being a senior photographer in Omaha is getting to work with amazing seniors more than once through my senior membership experience — and this session was the perfect example of why I love it so much.
This was Aby’s second session with me, and it was all about celebrating the end of an unforgettable senior year and the exciting new chapter ahead. She’s officially headed to Buena Vista University to play soccer, and I couldn’t be more proud of her! 💙⚽
We started the evening surrounded by all the flowers we could find — the soft colors and golden light were the perfect setting to reflect her joyful, radiant personality. Later, we switched gears for a more editorial, urban vibe. Think: cap, gown, honor cords, and her BVU flag waving proudly. She absolutely owned both looks.
One of the things I love most about second sessions is the chance to catch up with my seniors. So much can change over the course of the year — new goals, big wins, even bigger dreams. It’s such a gift to see how they’ve grown and to cheer them on as they wrap up their final year of high school. I’m constantly in awe of what my student clients are achieving!
Aby, you’re such a sweet soul with a bright future ahead, and I can’t wait to see you shine at BVU. Go crush it, girl!

Creighton to Columbus: Caty’s Grad Photos in Omaha
As a Creighton grad myself, I could not wait to head back to campus for Caty’s graduation photo session! There’s something so special about returning to a place that holds so many memories — and this time, I got to see it through the eyes of a brand-new graduate.
As a Creighton grad myself, I could not wait to head back to campus for Caty’s graduation photo session! There’s something so special about returning to a place that holds so many memories — and this time, I got to see it through the eyes of a soon to be graduate.
I have to admit, graduation photos were never even on my radar when I graduated, and now I’m a little jealous! I would love to have those memories captured — especially with my besties by my side. Seeing Caty laugh and celebrate with her own entourage made me realize just how meaningful it is to freeze those moments in time.
I had a plan mapped out with some of my favorite photo spots around campus — a mix of classic Creighton backdrops and hidden gems I was hoping to revisit. We also crossed our fingers for some spring blooms, and campus did not disappoint! The trees were just starting to pop, adding the perfect touch of color and life to every frame.
What made the session even more special was getting to incorporate Caty’s favorite spots and her own Creighton experience into the shoot. Campus may have changed since my time there, but it was so fun to blend our two perspectives — past and present — into something uniquely hers.
One of my favorite parts of the session was when Caty changed into her Ohio State College of Pharmacy shirt. She’ll be heading there in the fall to start her next chapter, and it was such a sweet way to celebrate both where she’s been and where she’s going. I love when grads bring something personal like that — it adds so much meaning to the photos.
Caty brought the best energy (and the best crew!) to her session. Her support system showed up ready to cheer her on and made the whole afternoon feel like a mini celebration. There was so much laughter and beauty watching her tribe support her.
This session reminded me that graduation isn’t just about the degree — it’s about the journey, the friendships, and all the little moments in between. I’m so honored I got to help Caty celebrate this milestone and document a piece of her story.
And to top it all off? We ended the night with the most laughter during a champagne pop — a burst of bubbly joy that was the perfect send-off for Caty’s incredible college journey. I swear, those moments are always unpredictable in the best way, and this one did not disappoint! I’ll save the details for Caty and her besties to tell… but it was unforgettable!

Ready to Celebrate Your Grad Story?
Whether you're saying goodbye to college or stepping into your next adventure, I’d love to help you capture the in-between moments that matter most. Let’s plan a session that’s uniquely you — cap, gown, and all! 💙
