Little Fox Senior Spotlight • Kaitlyn, Class of 2026
When I asked Kaitlyn what she wanted to bring to her senior session, she said pointe shoes. When I asked what pictures her mom would love, pointe shoes made that list, too. Okay, so those were definitely coming with us.
Kaitlyn danced with the Summer Creek Starlettes and studied pointe ballet. For her fall senior pictures at Mercer Botanic Gardens, she wore this rust-orange dress that looked so good against all the green. We took a few relaxed portraits with her pointe shoes slung over her shoulder, and then she put them on. The portrait of her en pointe under the stone arch is one of my favorites from her session. She makes it look so easy. My ankles and I know better.
How can I include dance in my senior pictures?
Bring the shoes! We can start with a few portraits holding them, then find a spot where you’re comfortable doing a favorite pose or movement. Kaitlyn kept the same dress on for both ballet looks, then switched into jeans and a cute top for a more casual set. I love that she got to show off what she can do en pointe and still get those relaxed senior pictures her mom wanted.
Cap and gown at Summer Creek High School
I got to photograph Kaitlyn again in the spring, this time in her maroon cap and gown in front of Summer Creek High School. We also took a few photos with her Baylor pennant, green heels, and a big “Sic ’Em.” I love that her senior photos show what she’d worked on in dance, where she graduated, and what she was looking forward to next.
If you’re a Summer Creek Class of 2027 senior, tell me what you’d love to include in your photos. Pointe shoes, a letterman jacket, or something I haven’t photographed yet? I’m all ears.
