Prop inspiration for your senior photos
We want your photos to look like you and celebrate you.
So what’s an easy and fun way to do this simply by what you bring with you to your session?
When should you book your senior photoshoot?
This is one of the most common questions we get and also one of the most important ones to get right. Senior photos aren’t something you want to scramble on — not because they’re stressful, but because the seniors who give themselves plenty of time consistently end up with a better experience and more options. Here’s the honest breakdown.
How to use your senior studio tour
We know junior year is wrapping up and suddenly it's like someone hit fast forward on everything and there are approximately 4,000 decisions to make about senior photos and you don't even know where to start.
Happyologie’s Creative Writing
Welcome to our studio aka an amazing space to bring all your books, study things and have a fun brand shoot for Happyologie!
Studio Session with Kayla in the 417
We had Kayla over to the studio for a brand shoot!
After that shoot, we did a fun spring mini. I loved getting to use some of the new backdrop colors! (This cream color is one of my favs.)
Getting out the door for your photo session
Let’s set the scene.
It’s photo session day. You have been planning this for weeks.
The outfits are cute, the kids are bathed, and you are feeling cautiously optimistic.
And then your three-year-old walks in
Mollie Stimpson Studio Session
One thing I love about studio sessions is that the focus is on you and it's up to you to make them yourself.
Mollie truly did that and I love how how much personality she showed through these photos.
Morgan & Baby Anaiyah Valentine Mini
This session was so fun! Despite babies doing baby things, we were able to get some really cute shots!
Baby Rachel’s 6 Month Session
Baby Rachel is almost 6 months and we had to celebrate with a studio session!
Her whole family is so sweet and her mom and sister came to make sure she was doted on the whole time. They even FaceTimed dad in!
Mini Galentines
These girls were so so fun to have at the studio! They were laughing, brought ideas for posing and it’s just so good to celebrate friendship.
Eisley hosted this session at the studio and did an amazing job creating a fun space for these friends.
K-Life Galentines Event in Bolivar MO
We got to photograph the K-Life Galentine’s event last week and I’m still smiling about it.
First of all, Valentine’s Day is fine… but it’s not nearly as cool as a room full of girls hyping each other up, taking pics together, and having the most fun with it. Like, sorry, but Galentine’s wins.
Makenzie and Savannah Galentines
I have known Savannah since we were kids! We grew up together, ended up rooming together before I got married in college and have done so much life together.
And Makenzie started babysitting my kids a couple summer ago and then I ended up hiring her in my business.
Kim & Jeremy Valentine Mini
Jeremy and Kim are always ready to laugh and have fun and that is only elevated when their daughter is the one taking the photos.
Snow Day Photos: Stephens Boys
What is it about a band of brothers running across the snow together that makes you feel like you’re witnessing greatness? Haha!
Senior Photos in the Snow: Eisley
Eisley is such a joy and I really wanted this mini snow day session to bring that out while also capturing her soft, introspective side.
It’s been so fun to get to know her as she has worked with me (Hi, Jordan here!) at the studio. She is kind, thoughtful, super fun and down for trotting through the frigid temps for some snowy senior photos.
Noelle’s Valentine Mini
Noelle’s at that amazing age where she’s discovering more hobbies, making deeper friendships and stepping into being 100% her so we had to celebrate that with her.
Senior Photos in the Snow: Sophie Stimpson
Sophie is such a talented, bright young woman and I wanted to capture that inner confidence that is being grown in her each day.
Princess & Haze Valentine Mini
Princess and Haze had such a fun time in the studio snuggling, laughing, tickling and making memories.
Josh & Ella Valentine Mini
Josh and Ella are so fun I can practically hear them laughing through these images. I love the glasses, picking each other up and the constant laughing!
Jake & Maddy Valentine Mini
As a little sister, there is no greater joy than watching your siblings find their person to spend life with. Growing up with Jake as a best friend, I knew whoever his future wife is would be so lucky.
