Jayla is a cheerleader at Columbus North and I love that she wanted to also include the cheer uniforms from when she was in elementary and middle schools as well. That is such a unique and special prop! After the high school we hung out downtown and then finished with some softer, more natural looks at the end of her session. I love when seniors want to include a varity of locations and looks into their session. It means that their final gallery will have a wide range of imag

Vince is a senior at Columbus North High School. He brought his adorable pup for a few shots and then we finished out at Harrison Lake Country Club which is always a beautiful location to shoot. I photographed his older brother's senior session last year and it's always an honor when families return with younger siblings. However, it's a bummer too for the fact that now I am out of Fedor kids! Working year after year with families makes them friends and then when I run out of

Paxton is a senior at Columbus East High School where he also plays football and has been on the baseball team the past 3 years. However, he will not be on the baseball team this year since he is graduating in December and heading to Lineman School down south in January. We were able to include that in a very unique way in his session along with some killer vehicles, football and the cutest dogs. If you aren't aware, I am a car person which comes in handy at times at senior g

Cooper is a senior at Brownstown Central High School. We had so much fun gou shing all over downtown Columbus and then finishing with his truck out in the country. I love an old 90's truck and that brown metallic paint is a classic. Also, guys, if you are at all on the fence for if you should wear a suit for your senior session, trust me when I say- DO IT! It is timeless. It gives you a ton of professional headshots, you look so put together- just do it! I love a classic navy

Brooklyn is a senior at Trinity Lutheran High School and is also on their softball team as well. I love when seniors want to include their sports that they have spent years playing. We then finished off her sunset session at a stunning field outside of Seymour and her outfit couldn't have been more perfect. Ladies, when planning outfits you can never go wrong with a long, flowy dress. They're classic and always perfect- especially for a more natural location. We still have a

I was so excited for Liliana's session having worked with her previously. She is so fun and laid back and I knew it would be a good session- and she did not disappoint. It may have been about 150 degrees out (only slightly exaggerating) but she made it look easy. We started at Columbus North where she is a cheerleader and finished at a private farm out of town for a sunset look which was perfect with her yellow dress. One of the biggest tips I can give- especially for cheerle

Litzy is a senior at Columbus North and she may also win as having the hottest weather so far this summer at her session. Thankfully she is like me and loves summer weather so we still had a blast. We spent the time talking about vacation plans, future goals and she is full of funny stories. Her cousin came to help which was awesome. I always think that it helps the senior if they bring someone with them, not only to help carry things and double check hair but also just from

Tristan is a senior at Columbus North High School and is on the cross-country and track teams. She is also one of my senior reps so I'm lucky enough to get to work with her a lot this upcoming year! Tristan wanted a very nature-heavy session full of golden sunlight and I think we achieved exactly that. Even though it was insanely hot, those summer sunsets never disappoint. Tristan has one of the kindest personalities, the best hair and is an absolute pleasure to chat with. Sh

Trying to arrange schedules of 45 teenagers during the summer when county fairs, vacations and summer camps are happening isn't for the faint of heart. Thankfully I was able to get a date that worked for the majority of them so that we could photograph my favorite styled shoot of the year- 4th of July! We broke it into a morning session and an evening session since it was the only way to get the most kids. Our morning session was all nature and flags and the evening had big t

Teagan lives in Arizonia but her family has a place on Lutheran Lake and always spends the summer up here. Imagine planning ahead and being able to have your senior photos taken on vacation in your favorite spot! We had the most stunning evening and the lake was quiet for Teagan's session last week. I am obsessed with how her images turned out! We even included a few with her cousin, Laura. Thank you for asking me to capture your senior session while you were visiting, Teagan

Gavin attends Seymour High School and is on the baseball team there. He started his session at his high school which I always think is a great spot for senior photos. We then went downtown and finished at The Coffin (which if you live in Seymour you understand that very strange statement!) With summer weather very much here I think it's time I share my top tips for keeping cool during a senior session when the thermostat is cranked outside. 1- I tell all of my seniors to pack

Carson attends Brownstown Central High School, is on their tennis team and enjoys riding dirt bikes so we found a way to include all of that plus his car and a very unique location in his session last week. Thankfully it was before this insane heat wave hit because nothing is happening photo-wise with heat indexes in the 105+ range! Carson's mom has his graduation party booked at Zaharako's Ice Cream Parlor so she wanted to include some photos there. I was amazed when they le

Emma attends Columbus North High School and is on their Cross Country and Track teams. She wanted a lot of natural backgrounds for her session and we even scored a field of purple flowers just hours before it was mowed down. Emma is the person that people are talking about when they say that some people are just full of sunshine. She has the brightest smile, her personality is the absolute sweetest and she had me laughing so hard during her session that I had to stop shooting

Our first 2027 senior session was an absolute dream! Ava is attends Columbus North High School and is on their women's basketball team. She was so much fun to work with. It was roughly 120 degrees out (okay, maybe closer to 99) but Ava never once complained. She walked through all of the itchy tall grass, was down for any and all ideas and was just the sweetest person. I really do work with the best seniors! Ava wanted a combination of urban and nature for her session and I l

Every year our intro shoot with our new rep team is a massive styled shoot and I think every year it gets bigger and bigger. The theme this year was sunset soiree and I asked all of the girls to come dressed in colors of the sunset. They NAILED it! I am so in love with how these images turned out! 45 reps in just under 2 hours, multiple shoot spots and a combo of group shots and individuals- I was moving all over the place but it was so much fun! I have a lot of senior reps w

I knew when I decided to create a guys team that the shoots had to be epic. I am a pro at planning styled shoots for my girls team after 10 years of doing this rep team but it’s completely different with guys. I was tossing around ideas with one of the guy's moms and she mentioned that they had a family friend that owns a helicopter. Um, what?! Kelly got me in contact with Jim, the owner and he was totally on board with my ideas. I’ve said it before but the secret to my succe

Class of 2026- can you believe this year is quickly coming to a close and it's time to schedule those cap and gown minis?? Well, it is! This year we will have limited sessions due to our shooting schedule so once they're booked, that's it. We are going to several area schools this year but if you'd like us to add your school, message me. Here are the details: 15 minute minis that can include the cap and gown individual shots as well as a couple of family/ group shots. You'll

It's time to apply to be a part of our 2026-2027 Rep Team! Before we get into all of that, I want to give a few details about what the Rep Team is and is not. The 1492 Rep Team is a group of high school juniors and seniors who agree to be a part of styled shoots and branding sessions through out the school year. I came up with this idea over 8 years ago and it has grown into this amazing team that I look forward to every year. I've had a lot of questions, so here are some ans

I frequently get asked which season is the best for a senior sessions but that's actually a complicated answer. Think about it- we live...

Shoots like this are the exact reason why I love having a large Rep Team! I messaged all of the Senior Reps the night before about a...
