Payton’s College Senior Photographs at the University of Arkansas

College Senior Photographs at The University of Arkansas

Are you ready to meet one of the most beautiful students at the University of Arkansas? You know I’ve got you!

Payton’s college senior photographs at the University of Arkansas were an absolute dream. The weather around her session was absolutely crazy – we had to reschedule our shoot once and the day of our shoot the wind was so crazy! – and, because the weather had been so wild, I was really determined to create ridiculously happy + colorful college senior photographs for Payton.

And I’m happy to say! We totally got them!

Thinking of Taking College Senior Photographs?

There’s lots of things I love about college senior photographs but honestly the main one is this: It’s a way to celebrate a whole new life stage! Students change – and learn! – so much during college and celebrating your senior year with photographs on your college campus is just a feeling you can’t recreate. It’s the best! One might even say “once in a lifetime” if they’re not afraid of cheese. And around here?We’re not afraid of cheese at all!

For Payton’s photos, we wanted really classic and pretty photos as we walked around campus with her mom, her dad, and her boyfriend. We kept calling Payton’s boyfriend her “prop” (lol) as I pulled him in and out of photos and having him there with us was an absolute blast + such a fun way to celebrate this time in Payton’s life, too! Also those purple lilacs? Obsessed! I cannot wait for them to grow back in the garden this spring!

Payton started her college senior photographs with a gorgeous blue matching set, popped on a University of Arkansas Law School tee (I hope you’re loving law school, Payton!) to celebrate the next chapter of her life, and ended her shoot in a gorgeous white tank + blue jean outfit. These photos turned out so colorful, classic, and filled with light. It was a total joy hanging out with Payton and her crew! Could do shoots like this every single day!
