You already know this. But the worst thing about working with seniors is that I only get them for 1 year before they leave me. I like to hold onto people longer than that and the solution seemed to be starting Freshman year. Which is why I am SO EXCITED to be introducing the inaugural Studio Kate Chronicle Team to you today.

I knew before we started Lily would have some unique plans for her winter senior session. She always brings her own flair! When I saw the forecast I was disappointed but Lily was game for pushing forward and embracing the blustery day.

I once had a senior guy write, “My mom wants pics and I’m down with it” on his inquiry form. I laughed because this is the sentiment I hear from a lot of guys and their dads.

This group of Rome Seniors are the best of the best and I am thrilled to introduce you to my very favorite seniors!!!!!

This senior’s mom was the first one I called when I decided to start the Studio Kate Senior Company. I knew Colbi would be perfect for my senior model team.
