When Jocelyn rolled into her senior session in Hays, we made it a full Hays tour. We worked downtown brick walls for an editorial-magazine vibe, hit Fort Hays State for fountains, archways, and a hidden bridge in the green, then closed at Frontier Park where she stood on stones in the middle of the creek with trees and water all around her.

Each year, I only set aside a limited number of spots specifically for senior sessions, and I’m already about halfway booked. If you’ve been thinking about spring, summer, or fall senior photos, now is the best time to start planning so you can get one of the better spots on my calendar. I also try to keep things flexible. I leave room each week for reschedules in case someone gets sick, weather changes, or plans shift, so there’s a little breathing room if life happens.
