Senior year is such an exciting time — full of milestones, memories, and major transitions! Between sports, activities, college prep, and all the “lasts,” it can fly by in the blink of an eye. That’s why your senior photos are so much more than just pictures — they’re a celebration of who you are right now and how far you’ve come.

At Kate Buckles Photography, we love capturing the full story of this incredible year — and the best way to do that is with two sessions: one early in the school year, and one closer to graduation.
Here’s why that’s the perfect combo 👇
📸 1️⃣ Capture the Start of Senior Year
Booking a session early — in the summer or fall — is the perfect time to photograph your senior while everything feels fresh and full of possibility.
Why now?
The weather is gorgeous, with glowing golden light and warm tones.
Schedules are more flexible before the school year gets busy.
You’ll have stunning images ready for yearbook deadlines, graduation announcements, and holiday cards.
This first session captures the beginning of the journey — full of anticipation, confidence, and excitement for what’s ahead.
🎓 2️⃣ Celebrate the Finish Line
Then, when graduation is around the corner, we do a second mini session in the spring.
This is the perfect way to:
Show off your cap and gown
Capture that final “I did it!” energy
Update your photos with any big milestones — sports achievements, college decisions, or simply how much your senior has grown through the year
By this point, there’s a beautiful shift — your senior has matured, gained perspective, and is ready to take on the world. These images feel different… they’re full of pride, reflection, and accomplishment.
