✈️ The Ultimate Planning Checklist for Destination Senior Shoots
Pick a place that feels like you — whether it’s full-on glam or natural and grounded. We’ll work together to find a backdrop that’s equal parts “wow” and totally your personality.
Pro Tip: Make it a senior trip! Bring a parent, your BFF, or the whole crew and turn your session into a mini getaway.

- Main Character Weekend – Full-on cinematic vibes.
- Legacy Storyline – Your life, your story, told in a beautifully artistic way.
- the prelude – Shorter & sweet, but still iconic.
I’ll always aim to make travel days relaxed and leave room for spontaneous magic (aka bonus golden hour shots 🌞✨).
Pack 3-5 looks:
- A dreamy dress moment
- A chill, comfy outfit that feels like home
- Something bold or funky (yes to personality!)
Pro Tip: Look at the images you have saved on Pinterest or Instagram, what are they wearing? Is there anything you noticed saved a lot of?
