Many seniors walk into their photo session thinking they need one good yearbook picture and they’re done. I hear it constantly: “These photos aren’t really for me, I just need the one.” And every time, it breaks my heart a little. The truth is, senior photos are so much more than a formality. These sessions are a celebration, and a moment to pause and say, “Look how far I’ve come.” They’re about capturing the joy, personality, style, and friendships—the full story of who you are in this once-in-a-lifetime season. Not just for your parents. Not for your school. For you. Yvette and Janae’s best friend senior pictures are the perfect example. Your senior session shouldn’t feel like a to-do list item but a memory in the making. One filled with laughter, music, creativity, and the comfort of being exactly who you are.
The Story Behind These Best Friend Senior Pictures: Yvette & Janae
Yvette—one of my incredible senior reps—and her best friend, Janae, both Walla Walla High School dance team captains, brought energy that lit up the whole studio. You could feel their friendship like sunshine pouring through the windows at Casa Blanca.
What made this shoot so special wasn’t just the matching senior jeans or the fact that we had the prettiest light in the studio—it was them. Their bond, laughter, quiet in-between moments, where you could tell this was a memory they’d tuck away for years. They were completely themselves—fun, vibrant, confident.
More than anything, this session was a snapshot of who they are now in this season of life—leaders, dreamers, and best friends on the edge of something new—and capturing that is what senior photos are really about.
Personal Style and Details That Elevate
Let’s talk about these senior jeans. Yvette and Janae’s jeans were bold and creative. I scoured Pinterest for inspiration. Nothing. Not a single “professional” take on this idea. So, we did what any creative crew would: we made our own. It turned out even better that way!
Of course, the fun didn’t stop at denim. The session came to life with little touches like fresh florals, and yes, disco balls. Accessories are like the cherry on top. They add dimension and customization to your session. And it’s not about going over the top but creating a space that feels true to you.
Imagine a quiet morning in a bright studio, music playing in the background, and your best friend by your side. That’s the kind of senior session we’re here for.
