Kayla’s Senior Session at Sandstone Ranch

Kayla, could Sandstone Ranch have been a more perfect location for your senior session with Addie and Brooklynn? I don’t think so!

And your outfits! From your letterman jacket to your show-stopping dress, you effortlessly blended your athletic prowess with a touch of glam. Your love for the outdoors and sports came alive in such an open and beautiful space.

Your parents have been cheering you on from the bleachers for years, and now they get to see their superstar shine in her senior photos, too.

They have quite the young lady to be proud of, and it’s not just because you’re an all-star on the soccer and baseball fields.

I hear you have big plans. Not only do you intend to get a degree, but you also want to become a pilot! With your go-getter spirit, the sky isn’t the limit—it’s just the beginning.

I wish you all the best and hope this last year playing soccer for your high school and all the festivities that come with being a senior (homecoming, prom, senior sunrise and sunset, and graduation) exceed your expectations!

In the meantime, here are just a few of my favorite photos from your senior session for you to enjoy. Best, Theresa
