I first met Kaley at a Class of 2024 senior ambassador event where the team could invite a friend, and her bright, joyful personality immediately shone through the camera. When she applied for the Class of 2025 ambassador team, I welcomed her with open arms, as she perfectly embodies the mission of Laurie Pilia Photography—capturing the spirit of confident and kind young women. After a fun welcome team shoot in May and a back-to-school team session in August, I was especially excited for Kaley’s individual senior session, where we envisioned beach vibes, sunset magic, playful energy, and beautiful flowers—something truly special that I couldn’t wait to bring to life!
Kaley’s Senior Portraits at New Smyrna Beach
We began the day exploring Flagler Ave, where every corner had something special to offer. From colorful murals to hidden alleyways, the downtown vibe added a fun, urban twist to the shoot. It was the perfect contrast to the beach—just like senior year itself, a whirlwind of excitement and bittersweet transitions. As we strolled, we found so many unexpected spots that brought fresh energy to the session, with Kaley’s bright smile lighting up each one.
By the time we reached the beach, the waves crashing onto the shore felt like the perfect metaphor for senior year—full of emotions, a bit of the unknown, and the excitement of new beginnings. As the sun began to dip below the horizon, casting that golden-hour magic, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the fleeting moments we were capturing. Kaley’s session was a beautiful reminder of why I love photographing seniors. It’s about more than just the photos; it’s about celebrating who they are, right now, as they stand on the brink of their next adventure.
Kaley’s family also joined in for some updated family photos, adding an extra special touch to the evening. It was such a joy to capture those moments of love and laughter.
We wrapped up the session by splashing in the water beneath the most breathtaking sky. It was dreamy, unforgettable, and the perfect end to the perfect session.
