Cap, Gown, and Gorgeous Glow: Kiana’s Post-Grad Senior Session in Lancaster, PA

Some moments deserve a little extra time—and Kiana’s senior portraits were exactly that kind of moment.

Instead of squeezing her session into the chaos of spring, Kiana made a bold and beautiful choice: to wait until after graduation so she could celebrate everything she’s accomplished, diploma and all. And wow, did it pay off.

We kicked off her session on the campus she knows like the back of her hand. With her cap and gown in tow and a fresh diploma in hand, we wandered around the school that shaped her—not just capturing a milestone, but honoring a chapter.

Then we headed to Lancaster County Park, where the sunshine showed up just for her. (Truly, the weather couldn’t have been better.) Kiana glowed. The kind of glow that comes from pride, purpose, and a future that feels wide open.

And let me tell you, this girl has earned every ounce of it.

She didn’t just graduate—she soared. Kiana was the Vice President of her cosmetology class, earned multiple professional certifications, and already runs her own lash extension business. (Yes, boss energy 💅🏼). Her dreams of building a career in the beauty industry? They’re already in motion.

Watching her step into this new season with so much strength, style, and sparkle was pure joy. Every photo feels like a love letter to her journey—where she’s been, and all the beauty that’s coming next.

Kiana, if you’re reading this—thank you for letting me be part of your story. I’m endlessly proud of you. The beauty industry is lucky to have you, and so are we.

If you’ve got a grad in your life who deserves their moment in the spotlight—or if you’re dreaming of your own milestone session that actually feels like you—I’d be honored to help you capture it.

Reach out here to start planning—let’s celebrate your story, your way.
