Best of 2025 Seniors Hope Taylor Photography

Senior Sessions

It’s that time again!!! As we enter a brand new year, one of my favorite things to do is go back and reflect on the year prior. Each year, one of the ways I do this is by curating my “best of” blog posts…my absolute FAVORITE images that I created in the last 365 days. This year, I had the HARDEST time narrowing down my favorites. I worked with so many incredible seniors and their families…and I think this blog post has almost 300 photos in it. OOPS! But, it was just THAT good of a year!! From floral-filled images with iconic wisteria in March to glowy, summer senior sessions on the beach all the way through chilly fall sessions when we moved back to Charleston…this post has it all!

Some of these images are my favorite because they are technically beautiful. Some are in this post because they were really hard to shoot in the moment (HELLOOOOO crazy lighting, weird locations and insane weather)…or maybe I just feel like I truly captured my senior client in a way that feels true to THEM. This post includes every single one of my seniors that I photographed in 2025 (!!!) – enjoy a scroll through reminiscing on the year with me!!

Photographers: Almost ALL of these senior sessions were FILMED for my educational membership called THE SENIOR SCOOP! If you want to see the process of creating these images, my camera settings, the RAW images, before + after edits, my thought processes behind posing, lighting, location, etc. AND the editing process…you can jump in and join the membership for only $27 and kick off the new year with a head start on growing your senior photography business!
