Oh Senior Team, you're the absolute best! Literally, the best. Remember that cold Sunday a couple of weeks ago? These seniors braved that cold snap to meet me for our senior team session.

Fall Family Mini Session at Wildcat Glades
This little guy and his parents are so fun, even if he felt a little serious at this session. See their sneak peek here. All photographs by family and senior photographer, April Hurst Photography.

Jace's Senior Golf and Fishing Session
I always love hitting the course with seniors. It absolutely makes for fun every time. See Jace's senior golf and fishing session sneak peek. This one was fun, of course!

That might have been true for Jace. This session was all his and his Dad's to plan and execute. His mom and I just had fu
