Reagan | Mt. Pleasant High School Senior Session | Farm & UNC Graduation Photos in Concord, NC Senior Photographer

Reagan’s senior session was one of those sessions that felt personal from the very beginning.

I’ve known Reagan since she was little, so getting to photograph this season for her and her family felt especially meaningful. As a Mount Pleasant High School senior, she wanted her portraits to feel true to who she is instead of overly styled or trendy, so we decided to split her senior experience into two completely different sessions to tell the full story of this chapter.

For the first session in the fall, we photographed at a family farm surrounded by open fields, fences, and soft golden light. The farm had such a calm presence and the entire evening reflected that. We started with a simple white dress out in the fields before transitioning into jeans and a white top for a more casual country-inspired look that fit her personality perfectly.

One of my favorite parts of the session was incorporating Harley, the horse she’s spent so much time around, along with her sweet dog Luna. Those images ended up feeling less like traditional senior portraits and more like little pieces of real life — the kind of photographs that will mean even more years from now because they captured the things and places that already felt like home to her. The farm session had this quiet, cinematic feel to it that I absolutely loved. Between the tall grass, the warm sunset light, and the connection Reagan has with both Harley and Luna, everything felt effortless and genuine.

Then in the spring, we shifted into a completely different season of life with her cap and gown session in Concord.

This second session focused on celebrating everything ahead of her. We photographed cap and gown portraits, UNC gear, downtown portraits, and a few family images they wanted for wall art before she heads off to college. I loved blending the cleaner college-inspired look with softer garden portraits so the final gallery still felt cohesive with the warmth and emotion of her fall session.

What I love most about Reagan’s full senior gallery is how complete it feels. The fall session captured the grounded, country side of her personality and the life she’s grown up in, while the spring session celebrated all the excitement and possibility of what comes next at UNC.

Reagan, it has been so special watching you grow into the person you are now. I’m so excited to see everything waiting for you in this next chapter and I can’t wait to hear all about your adventures at Chapel Hill!
