Prom fashion in 2026 just hits different.
The colors.
The textures.
The dresses with movement.
The perfectly fitted suits.
And somehow every friend group has their own vibe this year.
Honestly? Prom photos have turned into full-on fashion shoots and I’m not mad about it.

Unique locations for a senior session.
If you want your photos to feel different… start here.
Museums
Industrial, bold, and full of character. Clean lines and colors.
Aircraft, hangars, and metal textures that create a strong, unique backdrop you won’t get anywhere else.
Disney World / Disneyland
Color, movement, personality.
It turns your session into an experience, not just photos.
Here’s how I approach locations like this:
We don’t just pick something “unique”… we pick something that actually fits you. Your style, your energy, and how you want your photos to feel.
Because the right location doesn’t just look good…
it makes your photos feel like you.

3 things I wish every senior knew before their session.
Because most people show up thinking…
“I don’t know how to pose.”
“What should I wear?”
“What if I feel awkward?”
Here’s what I want you to know:
You don’t need to come prepared with poses.
You don’t need a suitcase full of outfits.
You don’t need to feel 100% confident walking in.
Here’s what I’m actually doing during your session:
I guide you through everything, help you choose outfits that work, and keep things moving so you’re not stuck overthinking.
That’s why it ends up feeling easy.
And that’s why the photos actually look like you.
Which one surprised you the most? 👇
Top locations in California for a senior session.
And each one gives you a completely different look.
Corona del Mar
Cliffs, texture, and a little more depth.
If you want variety in one spot, this is it.
Newport Beach Pier
Clean, coastal, classic.
Light, movement, and that beach feel that never goes out of style.
Back Bay
Soft, natural, and more relaxed.
Open space, greenery, and warm light.
Here’s how I help you choose:
We don’t just pick what looks pretty. We match the location to your outfits, your personality, and the overall feel you want your photos to have.
Because location changes everything.
