Hey Ya'll!
I'm also a proud Army-veteran wife, girl mom + Believer. I love getting to provide the ultimate experience to each of my seniors & photos that capture who they are! Read my story
Liberty Hill Senior Photographer | Austin Senior Photographer | FFA Senior Session
Y’all, I’m so excited to share this unforgettable senior session with one of my 2025 Jaclyn May Photography Senior Team girls—Ellie! From raising livestock to earning top honors in FFA, Ellie’s story is filled with grit, heart, and a whole lot of Texas charm.
We headed out to a local farm in Burnet, Texas, to capture what makes Ellie the happiest – her show cattle!
Ellie’s not your average high school senior.
She’s spent the last several years raising and showing livestock—and she’s not just “involved” in FFA, she’s thriving & in state-wide leadership roles.
Her two beautiful cattle (yes, the real stars of this session!) were ready for their photoshoot!
This was a true team effort from the whole family, as behind these sweet photos is a crew of people ringing cattle bells to get their attention – and it worked! Check out those upright ears!
Here’s what we don’t talk about enough when it comes to senior photos:
📸 They should actually feel like you.
Not just a pretty outfit or a perfect smile, but the heart of who you are.
For Ellie, that’s the late nights. The early mornings. The countless hours it takes to prepare for a show. The joy. The pride. All of it. (I mean, did you SEE that Grand Champion banner and all of those awards on her trailer?!)
That’s what we documented with Ellie. Her lifestyle. Her hustle. Her heart.
All of my seniors deserve to have senior photos that show off who they are!
After we wrapped up the livestock portion, we kept it rolling with some fun, golden-hour portraits – paired with showing off Ellie’s three – yes, THREE! – FFA leadership jackets that she has earned.
✨ Pro Tip: When you book with a senior photographer in Austin, Texas, like me, we’ll plan every part of your shoot together. From outfits and locations, it’s all about what you want!
First of all—big hugs. 🥹 This year is so bittersweet. Your baby is about to graduate. Every milestone feels a little bigger. Every moment feels like it’s moving too fast.
And when it comes to senior portraits? You want something that really captures who she is.
