To say I am lucky to do what I do is an understatement! As a San Diego senior photographer, I get the privilege of capturing unforgettable moments for high school seniors as they prepare to embark on new adventures. Every session tells a unique story, but some sessions stand out in a way that truly inspires me.
Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to meet an amazing young man who is legally blind but refuses to let that define him. His outlook on life, his enthusiasm, and his love for visual media design and all things Star Wars made this senior session a one-of-a-kind experience. His confidence, wit, and positive energy radiated throughout the shoot, and the results are some of my favorite images to date.
A Unique Perspective on Senior Photography
As a San Diego senior photographer, my goal is to make every senior feel seen, heard, and celebrated. High school is such a pivotal time in a teen’s life, and senior sessions should be more than just pictures—they should be a reflection of the person being photographed.
F
or this particular session, my client wanted to infuse his passions, humor, and personality into his shoot. From the very first moment we started planning, I knew this was going to be a session unlike any other.
One of the best things about senior sessions is making them personal. Gone are the days of stiff, posed yearbook photos with forced smiles. Today, senior photography is all about capturing the essence of who a student truly is.
This young man brought along some of his favorite things to incorporate into his shoot, including his droid and a lightsaber. Yes, you read that right! A lightsaber! His love for Star Wars was evident in every aspect of the session, from his Jedi-like confidence to the way he wielded his saber with ease. It was pure magic.
Incorporating personal props like his Star Wars memorabilia made his images feel authentic and true to him. That’s the beauty of working with a professional San Diego senior photographer—I encourage my clients to bring elements that make them unique. Whether it’s a musical instrument, sports gear, a pet, or even a lightsaber, these personal touches transform a session into something meaningful.
