Okay, imagine your dream senior photo session on a beach at golden hour—now add in a pink floral dress, a Yale sweatshirt, and a D1 hockey star, and you’ve got Kennedy Walker’s session in a nutshell. As a Middleton MA senior photographer, I get to meet some seriously cool seniors, and Kennedy might just be the coolest of them all.

This Girl’s Headed to YALE (No Big Deal) 🎓🏒

Kennedy came all the way from Middleton for her session, and honestly, I would’ve driven twice that far to photograph her! Not only is she headed to Yale University this fall, but she’ll be playing Division 1 hockey there too. She’s proof you can be both a total powerhouse and the sweetest human ever. #Goals

Mom’s the MVP 💛

She brought along her adorable mom, Tifiany, which made the day even more special. We kicked things off with Kennedy in light denim and a white tank—simple, classic, and SO effortlessly cool. If you’re wondering what to wear for the beginning of your session, this look is always a win.

Floral Dress + Sea Grass = Pinterest Perfection 🌸🌾

Next outfit: the most flowy, twirl-worthy pink floral dress. We wandered into some tall sea grass and green beachy trees, and the whole vibe was straight out of a magazine. (Seriously, someone call Free People.)

Coastal Fence Vibes + Cute Embroidery = YES ✅

For her third look, Kennedy rocked a white embroidered tube top and long white skirt. We found this dreamy little beach fence that was giving rustic coastal chic, and I honestly could’ve shot this look all day.

Sunset Glow-Up 🔥

We saved the best for last—Kennedy headed down to the shoreline for those golden-hour, hair-blowing-in-the-breeze, full-on glow-up shots. She twirled, she laughed, she totally nailed it. The sky showed up with that soft pastel cotton candy energy and everything just clicked.

Ivy League, But Make It Cute 💙

To wrap things up, Kennedy threw on her YALE sweatshirt, because when you’re headed to the Ivy League, you celebrate it. We snapped a few photos that screamed “future Bulldog,” and just like that, the perfect senior session came to an end.

Kennedy, You Crushed It 🙌

Kennedy—thank you for letting me be part of this moment in your life. Your talent, heart, and drive are off the charts, and I can’t wait to see what you do at Yale (on and off the ice!).
