Marjorie greeted me at Blue Mountain Lavender Farm with that effortless, sunshine-in-her-smile kind of energy. From the moment we started planning her lavender session, her sweet, easygoing nature set the tone: curious questions, genuine excitement, and a willingness to dive into every idea.
Marjorie is a girl who wants to have fun, so she was really interested in being a part of the SNP Senior Rep Program! That blend of enthusiasm for both creativity and strategy told me everything I needed to know: She’s here to learn, grow, and share her journey with the world. As one of our SNP Reps, this lavender shoot was the kickoff to a summer of thoughtfully curated sessions—each designed to showcase her personality.
Blooming Confidence at Blue Mountain Lavender Farm
Blue Mountain Lavender Farm is soft and peaceful. Rows of purple blooms stretch into the golden light, and when the breeze rolls through, it carries the most airy scent. It’s hands-down one of my favorite spots to photograph seniors.
Marjorie has a love for being outside, so when I was planning which rep would take part in a lavender session, it was a no-brainer. She was the lavender session. The evening itself was pure summer bliss, and she moved through it all with confidence that makes my job feel effortless. What I want for every senior who steps in front of my camera is not just a photo, but a feeling.
Dear Parents: The Value of Senior Portraits
Let’s be honest—senior pictures aren’t what they used to be (thankfully). Gone are the days of rigid poses in front of a backdrop with a half-smile you practiced in the mirror. Around here, we’re all about making this a whole experience—and for my SNP Rep Team, like Marjorie, that means going even deeper.
Being a rep isn’t just a title or a one-and-done photoshoot. It’s a journey through your senior year, complete with multiple sessions, custom planning, and real-world experience. Reps get VIP access to creative, fun, and intentional photography that tells their unique story from start to finish.
And for the parents reading this, here’s the heart of it: these photos aren’t just for Instagram. They’re keepsakes—tangible reminders of who your teen is right now, in this in-between season of life where they’re still yours, but also about to step into their next chapter. You’ve watched them grow into themselves over the last 17, 18 years—this is your moment to hit pause and preserve it.
These portraits show up in graduation announcements, holiday gifts for grandparents, framed prints on your wall, and beautiful heirloom albums you’ll pull out when the house feels a little too quiet next year. They’re not an expense; they’re an investment in memory, joy, and celebration of this once-in-a-lifetime season. And for seniors? This is your time. Let's make it feel like you.
Tri-Cities Senior Photographer | This is Just the Beginning
As a rep, Marjorie will be part of more styled shoots throughout the year, with herself and other team members. Each one is designed to capture a different side of her story and personality. If you’re reading this like, “I wish I could do something like that,” don’t worry—you can. If you’re curious about joining next year’s rep team, I’d love to help you create something that feels unapologetically you.
