Cap, Gown & Crown. 🎓👑✨

Had a great time capturing Xavier’s senior portraits and celebrating such a big milestone — including a few shots featuring his Homecoming King crown. Wishing him all the best as he heads into his next chapter!

Congratulations, Xavier! 👏

Some sessions just hit a little harder. 💛

Watching Mallory grow into the incredible young woman she is has been such a joy — not only as her photographer, but as her friend. Capturing these cap & gown moments feels extra special knowing all the hard work, growth, and heart behind them.

Mallory, the world better get ready for you. Congratulations, graduate. 🎓✨

Hard to believe it’s already Dominic’s senior year. 🎓

One thing I can say about Dom — he’s always been incredibly kind to my boys, and that says a lot about the kind of person he is. Grateful I got to capture this exciting season for him.

Congrats, Dominic — wishing you nothing but success in whatever comes next! 👏

Tiny toes, sleepy snuggles, and a whole lot of love 🤍
Just a little preview from this sweet in-home newborn session. The cozy moments at home always hit different ✨

I had the extreme honor of photographing the Dieterich prom court candidates this week. This group of kids are all incredible and are always so much fun to work with!

PS - half of them are Danielle Rae Photography seniors 😉
