We can’t stop smiling as we reminisce on Riley’s unforgettable senior photo session! Set against the stunning backdrop of Red Daisy Farm in Brighton, Colorado, Riley’s shoot was nothing short of magical.

The day greeted us with warm sunshine and perfect weather—though we won’t lie, it was a little on the hot side! But that didn’t stop Riley from shining bright. As the day moved toward sunset, the sky softened into the most beautiful sunset, creating the perfect glow to compliment Riley’s natural beauty.

​Riley picked Red Daisy Farm for its stunning seasonal blooms—and it was the perfect choice. The vibrant flowers added pops of color and texture all around her, enhancing the setting without ever taking the spotlight away from her. The farm’s peaceful and open setting made the perfect backdrop for Riley’s effortlessly elegant style.

Riley kept things effortlessly elegant with simple, natural makeup and hair, paired with neutral-toned outfits that complemented the peaceful farm surroundings. She’s a true natural in front of the camera—effortlessly photogenic.

​What we loved most was how true to herself Riley stayed throughout the entire experience. She didn’t overcomplicate anything—she let her personality, her smile, and her surroundings do all the work. Sometimes, the most iconic photos come from embracing simplicity and trusting the process.

For her keepsakes, Riley chose the Senior Album to capture all the moments from her session in one beautiful collection. She also selected several digital images, giving her the freedom to share her portraits with family and friends online, or print them however she’d like down the road.

One of our favorite aspects of Riley’s session was that she brought out a classic cowboy hat and boots to tie everything together. These accessories blended beautifully with the vibes of Red Daisy Farm. They added a rustic touch of personality without taking away from her effortlessly elegant look. It’s those little details—true to who she is—that made her portraits feel so authentic and unforgettable.

Riley’s session is a perfect example of how choosing a location and style that truly reflect who you are makes all the difference. Her love for nature, soft florals, and natural beauty came together in a way that felt totally her. Every image tells a part of her story.

​As she steps into her final year of high school and gets ready for what’s next, we’re so honored to have captured these memories for her. Riley, thank you for trusting us with this moment—we can’t wait to see where life takes you next!

One of the biggest questions we hear is: what’s the best time of year to take my photos? The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer—it all depends on the vibe you’re going for. Whether you’re picturing spring flowers, crisp fall leaves, snowy backdrops, or golden summer sunsets, the season you choose helps set the tone for your entire session. Timing matters, and we’re here to help you figure it all out.

​It’s not just about weather, it’s about what speaks to you and the vibe you want to create. Whether you’re envisioning vibrant flowers, cozy sweaters, or golden-hour magic, the timing of your shoot plays a huge role in bringing that vision to life.

If you're dreaming of wildflowers, fresh greenery, or that bright springtime energy in your photos, aim for late spring or early summer. This is when everything is blooming, colors are vibrant, and the natural light is soft and beautiful.

​These early months tend to book up fast (especially with the school year wrapping up and summer activities kicking off) so try to schedule your session in advance to get those stunning floral backdrops!

If autumn colors, cozy sweaters, and crisp golden light sound more like your style, then September through early November is your sweet spot. Fall is one of the most popular times for senior photos, and it’s easy to see why—nature puts on a beautiful show!

​For winter lovers hoping to capture snowy scenes or holiday vibes, late November through January is ideal—just be ready to bundle up and embrace the chill!

Those soft, golden hour moments just before sunset can make your photos absolutely magical. But it’s important to remember that the time of day matters just as much as the time of year.

​If you’re hoping for those gorgeous sun-drenched portraits, we’ll want to plan your session to start about 1–2 hours before sunset. The exact timing shifts throughout the year, so we’ll work together to schedule your shoot when that light is just right for your location and vision.

This one’s important! If you’re hoping to use one of your senior portraits as your official yearbook photo, make sure you know your school’s submission deadline. Most schools require yearbook photos to be submitted sometime between early fall and mid-winter, depending on the publication timeline.

​That means you’ll want to schedule your session well before the deadline to give yourself time to select your favorite image and have it edited and submitted on time. Don’t worry—we can help guide you through that process!

There’s no “right” time to take senior portraits—just the right time for you. Whether you want barefoot summer shots, rich fall colors, snowy magic, or glowing sunset light, we’ll help you plan a session that feels personal, relaxed, and totally authentic.

​Still not sure what season fits your vibe best? We’re happy to chat through the options and help you decide what will look and feel most like you. Reach out by clicking the button below; we’re here to make this a joyful, easy experience from start to finish.

Senior portraits are about so much more than great lighting and the right pose. They capture a once-in-a-lifetime chapter; one that’s full of growth, transformation, and the kind of beauty that only comes from stepping into who you truly are.

​So, what can you expect when you view the final portraits for the first time? At first, you’ll see a beautiful senior captured in high quality and thoughtfully composed images. But once that first look sinks in, you’ll see so much more. Confidence. Strength. Personality. That one-of-a-kind glow that makes you who you are.

When you look at your senior portraits, you will see all that you’ve accomplished, and all the ways you’ve grown into yourself. Those images reflect not just what you look like now—but everything it took to get here.

Suddenly, it hits you. From your first steps, to your first day of school, to getting your driver’s license—every milestone has led you to the cap and gown moment you’ve been dreaming of. You’ll remember the little child you once were, and see the strong, accomplished senior you’ve become.

Your light will shine in your senior photos. Not just in your smile, but in your energy, your expression, and your confidence. You’ll feel the kind of joy that fills a room and stays with you long after the session is over.

These portraits mark a major turning point. You’re not just graduating—you’re moving onto a new chapter. And when you see that reflected back at you in each image, it’s impossible not to feel it in your heart. We know this milestone is emotional. That’s why we take great care to capture not just what you see, but what you feel. These senior portraits are more than photographs. They’re keepsakes—visual time capsules that celebrate everything you’ve been and everything you’re becoming.

When you see the final portraits, you won’t just see how far you’ve come, but you’ll feel it, too. And that feeling? It’s one you’ll treasure forever.

The short answer? Absolutely! Your senior year is one of the most important chapters of your life, and your senior portraits should reflect not just who you are, but everything and everyone that has helped shape you along the way.

​Whether it’s your cuddly dog who’s been your constant companion, your cherished violin that has filled your days with music, your mom who’s supported you from day one, or a sentimental family heirloom, these meaningful additions are always welcome when you book a VIP package session. Including pets, family members, or treasured items adds layers of personality and emotion to your portraits, making them truly one-of-a-kind.

Senior portraits aren’t just about the perfect smile or the right lighting—they’re about telling your unique story and displaying who you truly are. When you bring along the people and things that hold special meaning, your photos become more than just pictures—they become keepsakes that capture who you are at this pivotal moment in your life.

And because family is such an important part of that story, we don’t just stop at your individual session. To celebrate the final stretch of your high school experience, we include a complimentary family session. This is a wonderful way to gather everyone you love and create lasting memories together.

​While these additions are exciting to think about, it can be stressful to figure out what and who you want to include, and how to ensure your session flows seamlessly. We get it, and we have a few pieces of advice to make your session as smooth as possible.

Coordinate outfits ahead of time with your family and/or friends so everyone feels comfortable and looks cohesive on camera. Neutral or complementary colors often work best without shifting the focus from you, the senior. Make sure everyone knows the date, time, and location well in advance so you’re all relaxed and ready to enjoy the session.

Bring your pet’s favorite treats and toys to keep them engaged and happy. If your pet is shy or easily distracted, plan a short break during the shoot to let them relax or play. Make sure they’re well-groomed and comfortable with being around new people and a camera.

​Pack your items carefully to avoid damage and consider how you want to feature them in your photos. Whether it’s wearing your grandmother’s necklace or holding your violin, talk to your photographer beforehand so they can plan the best way to showcase these treasures.

So, if you’re wondering whether you can bring your most meaningful people and items to your session, consider this your official invitation! We encourage you to bring anything that represents your passions, your roots, and the people who have supported you. These details make your session feel personal, heartfelt, and entirely yours.
