Senior year is all about embracing the unexpected, and Madelyn’s senior session was no exception! What started as a dreamy afternoon in a wildflower patch quickly turned into a race against the rain—but that’s what made her session so memorable.

Out of nowhere, the rain started pouring, and we made a mad dash for cover, laughing the whole way. But here’s the thing about senior sessions: they’re all about going with the flow and making every moment count. A little rain? No problem! We pivoted, regrouped, and got ready for round two at a location that held a special place in Madelyn’s heart.

A Sentimental Second Location: Fearrington Village

For Madelyn, Fearrington Village wasn’t just another pretty backdrop—it was a place filled with childhood memories. She and her family have been visiting this charming spot for years, so it only made sense to incorporate it into her session.

This is what we love most about senior sessions—making them 100% unique to YOU. Whether it’s a place you’ve been going to forever, a hidden gem you just discovered, or somewhere that perfectly matches your personal style, your session should tell your story.

Making Every Session Unique

One of the biggest questions I get as a senior photographer in Apex, NC, is: How can I make my senior session different from everyone else’s? My answer? By making it YOURS.

Thinking about your own senior session? Here are some ways to make it as special as Madelyn’s:

  • Pick a location that means something to you. Whether it’s a favorite childhood spot, a cool downtown vibe, or a nature-filled escape, your backdrop should be more than just pretty—it should be personal.
  • Bring your own style. Love bold colors? Flowy dresses? Laid-back jeans and sneakers? Whatever makes you feel most confident is exactly what you should wear.
  • Embrace the unexpected. If the weather shifts or something unplanned happens, just roll with it! Some of the best shots come from spontaneous moments.
  • Trust your photographer. We’re here to capture you in the best way possible and make sure you have fun in the process.
