Senior Session and Prom Send-Off at the Jefferson Memorial

Senior Session & Prom Send-Off at the Jefferson Memorial

There’s something truly magical about capturing senior portraits on the iconic steps of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, DC. Recently, I had the incredible honor of photographing a group of high school seniors as they celebrated their prom send-off — a moment filled with excitement, friendship, and the promise of unforgettable memories.

Watching these friends come together for a fun and joyful brunch before their big night was a highlight for me. I’m thrilled to say they had an amazing time, and I captured some stunning images that perfectly reflect the energy and spirit of their special day. This session wasn’t just about photos; it was about creating a unique experience and a beautiful prelude to an unforgettable evening.

The Jefferson Memorial stands out as one of the most breathtaking backdrops in the DC area — a place where the city’s history and natural beauty come together to create a truly unique setting. For seniors, it’s more than just a location for pictures; it’s a place that elevates the entire experience and makes every moment feel extraordinary.
