Some photo sessions are about more than one milestone—they're about celebrating an entire season of life.
This summer, I had the joy of photographing twin seniors at St. John's Northwestern Academy in Delafield, Wisconsin, alongside the people who have been cheering them on every step of the way: their parents and the newest (and fluffiest!) member of the family, Murph.
What made this session even more special is that this isn't just any family to me—we've been family friends for years. Watching these two grow into confident, kind, accomplished young adults has been such a privilege, and documenting this chapter of their lives felt incredibly meaningful.
Being a twin means sharing a lot of life's biggest moments, but these two have always been wonderfully themselves.
As we explored the beautiful campus of St. John's Northwestern Academy, we made sure each senior had time in front of the camera to let their own personality shine. From timeless individual portraits to fun photos together, the session celebrated both their unique identities and the special bond they've shared since day one.
Senior year is full of exciting possibilities, and it was such an honor to capture this moment before they each begin writing the next chapter of their story.
Of course, we couldn't let such a huge milestone pass without including the whole family.
Mom and Dad joined in for portraits that celebrated not only their twins' senior year but also the journey that brought them here. There were plenty of smiles, a few laughs, and the kind of genuine moments that only happen when a family simply enjoys being together.
And then there was Murph.
Like most puppies, Murph had his own ideas about how the session should go—but that's exactly what made it so much fun! His playful personality added laughter, spontaneity, and a few unforgettable moments that perfectly reflected this family's joyful spirit.
Located in Delafield, Wisconsin, St. John's Northwestern Academy offers one of the most stunning backdrops for senior portraits in the state.
Its historic architecture, beautifully maintained grounds, mature trees, and timeless campus atmosphere create a setting that's both elegant and classic. Whether we're photographing individual senior portraits, sibling photos, or family images, the campus provides endless opportunities for beautiful, meaningful photographs.
The older I get, the more I realize photographs become part of a family's legacy.
They're the images that hang on hallway walls.
The ones pulled out during graduation parties.
The photos parents glance at years later and wonder how their babies grew up so quickly.
That's why I love including family portraits during senior sessions whenever possible. Graduation isn't just a milestone for the student—it's one for the entire family.
At Chasing Lilies Photography, I believe your senior session should tell your story—not just show what you look like.
Whether we're celebrating one senior, twins, siblings, or an entire family (including the four-legged members), my goal is to create an experience that's relaxed, joyful, and filled with genuine connection.
Congratulations to these incredible twins on reaching such an exciting milestone! It has been such a gift to watch you grow over the years, and I'm so grateful I could preserve these memories for your family. I can't wait to see all the amazing places life takes you both.
If you're looking for a St. John's Northwestern Academy senior photographer, a Delafield senior photographer, or a Wisconsin family photographer, I'd love to help you celebrate this unforgettable season with photographs that will be treasured for generations.
