I don’t think I’ll ever forget this senior photo day.

As a mom, you think you’re just showing up for pictures… but it turned into so much more. We spent the evening driving all over town, chasing the light, changing outfits in the car, touching up makeup in random parking lots, and laughing more than I expected.

At one point, Liv was squatting behind flowers trying to get the perfect shot—and I remember thinking, this is it… these are the moments I’ll miss. Not the big milestones, but the in-between, slightly chaotic, joy-filled ones.

And Jennifer—our photographer—was incredible. She was so organized, knew exactly where to go, and kept the whole day flowing effortlessly. At one point, we even made a spontaneous pivot to chase down the perfect blue door and stair steps… and of course, she knew just the spot.

It was such a fun, high-energy day, but also a little bittersweet. Watching her step into this next chapter while still getting these last “just us” moments is something I’ll always hold onto.

So grateful for this day, these memories, and this amazing senior year!
