2026 UPDATE: The Senior Jeans Tradition Continues!

A new senior year means a new BPP Senior Team…and of course, another Senior Jeans session!

After doing this shoot with last year’s team, I knew I wanted to bring it back for the Class of 2027. It’s just such a fun way to celebrate the beginning of senior year, and I LOVE seeing how completely different the jeans turn out every single year.

The girls each created their own senior jeans to show off their personality, school colors, activities, favorite things, and a little bit of their own style. That’s probably my favorite part of this whole idea. Everyone starts with basically the same assignment—decorate a pair of jeans for senior year and somehow no two pairs look anything alike. That feels pretty perfect for the BPP Senior Team.

These girls come from different schools and different places around Oklahoma, and they all bring something different to the team. I never want our team sessions to feel like everyone has to look the same or fit into one specific mold. The fun is seeing all those personalities together.

Class of 2027 Senior Jeans

By the time we get to our Senior Jeans shoot, senior year is officially underway. Football games have started, school activities are in full swing, and that whole “WAIT…I’m actually a senior” feeling is starting to sink in. That makes these pictures even more fun because the jeans become a little snapshot of who each girl is during her senior year.

And just like last year, I wanted plenty of pictures of the girls together, but I also made sure we photographed the details and gave each senior a chance to show off the jeans she created. Someday the trends will change, the patches might make them laugh, and they’ll probably look back and wonder how senior year went by THAT fast. But that’s exactly why I love photographing things like this.

They’re not just cute pictures. They’re part of their senior year story.

Another BPP Senior Team Memory

This is what I want these team sessions to add to senior year. Yes, the girls get more pictures and we definitely have a lot of fun coming up with the ideas, but they’re also making memories together throughout the year. Our Class of 2027 team started with flowy dresses in a flower field at sunset, and now we’ve added Senior Jeans to the story. By the end of the year, we’ll have a whole collection of completely different sessions that document this season for them. And we’re only getting started.

Oklahoma Senior Rep Team | Senior Jeans Session

There is something about our September senior rep team sessions that always feels extra fun! The weather is just right, everyone is back into the rhythm of school, and the excitement of senior year is still fresh. For this month’s theme, we went with Senior Jeans and let me just say, this might have been one of my favorite creative sessions yet!

Each senior designed and created their own pair of jeans (or skirts!) to wear for our team photos, and the results were amazing. Every piece reflected their personality. Some full of sparkle, some simple and classic, some decked out in school colors and patches that shouted school pride, and some with Bible verses on them. When they all showed up to the local football field in Norman, Oklahoma that evening, the mix of creativity, confidence, and school spirit felt like the perfect reflection of what this season of life is all about.

We chose the football field for this session because, around here in Oklahoma, Friday Night Lights are more than just a game, they are what your high school memories are made of. The stands fill up, the lights buzz on, and you can practically feel the energy in the air. That same spirit showed up during our shoot. The girls laughed, danced, hyped each other up and created that unmistakable hometown vibe that makes senior year so memorable.

There were moments of laughter echoing across the turf and so many smiles that came naturally because they were just having fun. These sessions are always about more than just photos; they are about connection, confidence, and capturing who these girls are right now in the middle of one of the most exciting years of their lives.

As a Norman, Oklahoma senior photographer, I love creating sessions that feel personal and true to each senior. Whether we are on a football field, downtown in OKC, or exploring a favorite spot that tells your story, every session is about celebrating this incredible milestone in your own way. This Senior Jeans shoot captured that perfectly. Creative, confident, and full of genuine joy.

One of my favorite things about this team is watching the friendships grow throughout the year. At our first session, there’s always a little bit of nervous energy, but by this point, they are cheering for each other, fixing each other’s hair, and sharing ideas between shots. It’s such a reminder that the best part of being on the senior team isn’t just the photos, it’s the friendships, memories, and support that come along with it.

As the sun started to set, we wrapped up with some group shots on the 50-yard line arms linked, laughing, soaking in that golden light. The customized jeans gave every image so much personality, but it was the connection between these girls that made the photos truly shine. You could see friendship and joy in every single frame.

That’s really what the BPP Senior Team is all about. Yes, it’s about creating beautiful photos, but even more, it’s about creating space for seniors to celebrate who they are and to make memories together. This team brings so much energy and heart to every session, and I can already tell this year is going to be full of unforgettable moments.

Here’s to painted jeans, football field sunsets, and a team that knows how to have fun. September, you were one for the books!
