I’m Denise, the lead portrait and event photographer for D Peterson Photography. I am based in the metro Atlanta Georgia area, but love to travel. I capture joyful senior sessions, timeless family portraits, polished headshots, and unforgettable celebrations. My style is natural, fun, and full of genuine moments. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me trying to register voters, educating my community on civics, and of course, chasing golden light with my amazing clients, and learning ways to be an even better photographer. I’d love to work with you! Reach out to contact us and let’s create something you’ll treasure forever.

Senior year is such an exciting time! It’s the last chapter of your school career, and it’s full of memories you’ll want to keep forever. Photos are the perfect way to capture all the fun, the friendships, and the big milestones before you step into your next adventure.
Here are some must-have senior year photos (in no particular order) for your bucket list:
Of course you need the traditional cap and gown photos. You worked hard for this moment! Wearing your cap and gown marks this milestone moment, and to be honest, it makes your school photos feel special, official, and kinda real. You (and your family) will love looking back and remembering how this moment felt.
School is usually better because of your friends. They make those classes bearable, and the fun times even better. Grab your besties, laugh, and take some fun group shots. You’ll treasure these photos when you look back on all the good times.
Pick a couple of spots on campus that have meaning to you. You should take a few photos in front of your school admin building, by your locker, in your favorite class, or even in the student gathering locations. These spots are part of your story, and they’ll bring back sweet memories later.
Play on a school or intramural team? Football, softball, basketball, track? Love band, art, or theater? Show off where you spent your time and what makes you you! Photos of your favorite activities highlight your passions and achievements, and document what takes up the hours that add up to the days of your school year.
Grab your favorite jeans, kicks and a comfy sweatshirt or hoodie for photos that feel fun and relaxed. This is a part of your journey, and shows your true personality and are perfect for sharing with friends and family.
Don’t forget a picture with people who are important to you on this journey. This could be your parents, your siblings, or even your grandparents! These photos will mean a lot to you now, and become even more special to your family as time passes.
Get or make a sign with the details of your future adventures: your career dream, your trade school or profession, and/or your college destination. It’s a fun way to celebrate the next step on your life path!
Senior year is a once-in-a-lifetime season. These photos are more than just pictures—they’re memories you can hold onto forever. Whether you’re laughing with friends, showing off your cap and gown, or sharing a hug with family, these photos will always remind you of your school journey.
