Sammi kicked off my Class of 2026 seniors, and wow—what a way to start the season! She’s one of three triplets, so you’ll want to stick around because her sisters will be making their debut here soon too. This was actually my very first time photographing multiples, and let me tell you—it was such a fun new adventure!

At first, Sammi was a little quiet and shy, but it didn’t take long for her personality to shine. She lit up when she spotted a ladybug, cracked up at her mom’s hilarious commentary behind me, and then completely stole the show when it was time to break out the Kirby costume. (Yes, you read that right—Kirby made a full appearance, and it was amazing.)

One of my favorite parts of senior sessions is when seniors bring personal touches that tell their story, and Sammi absolutely understood the assignment. From her beloved Kirby to her track shoes (in the best color ever—purple!) to the cutest lineup of outfits, everything she brought along was so perfectly her. It made the whole session feel unique, joyful, and completely true to who she is.

I walked away from Sammi’s session smiling because it reminded me why I love what I do so much—these sessions aren’t just about pretty photos, they’re about celebrating seniors in their own way. I can’t wait to have her sisters in front of my camera soon and to see how their personalities shine just as brightly in their own sessions.

Here’s to the start of an amazing senior season with the Class of 2026!
