Jaclyn May Senior Team | Class of 2026 | Austin Senior Photographer

Austin Senior Photographer, Jaclyn May is SO excited to introduce a group of radiant, joyful, confident high school seniors who are absolutely soaking up every second of their once-in-a-lifetime senior year – The Jaclyn May Photography 2026 Senior Team!

The theme for their kick-off mini session was “Sunset Saturday.” Imagine vibrant pinks, oranges, sunny yellows, and a group of girls who are fun, kind, and full of heart — all showing up to celebrate the beginning of their senior photo experience with laughter, sisterhood, and style!

From the moment each senior arrived, energy buzzed through the air. The theme was clear: bold, bright, and beautiful. Their colorful outfits matched popped against the white studio background with the JMP Letters lit up — these girls SHOWED UP. Confidence radiated from every pose, and I loved watching these friendships start to grow as many of the girls met for the first time! The JMP Senior Team has Class of 2026 Seniors from several different schools, allowing the girls to make new friends and meet new people!

Each of these girls is part of the Jaclyn May Senior Team, which means they’re not only getting beautiful senior portraits, but they’re also stepping into a year-long experience full of fun perks and unforgettable moments. One of those perks? A sweet swag bag filled with JMP goodies, gifted to every girl during our kick-off — because who doesn’t love a little extra sparkle?!

Behind the Lens with Austin Senior Photographer, Jaclyn May

As their Austin Senior Photographer (and biggest cheerleader), I saw more than just pretty photos being created — I saw confidence blooming. I saw best friends hyping each other up. I saw future college friends living in the moment, celebrating their senior year with intention, laughter, and heart.

These are the kinds of girls who are grounded in kindness and community. They value the art of the experience — not just snapping a pretty picture, but making memories that matter. And for the moms watching behind the scenes (yes, I see you too, Mama!) — I know how much it means to you to give your daughter something that reflects who she truly is: vibrant, strong, and beautiful.

Every detail of this session was intentional. From the bright colored dresses to the way the girls encouraged one another, this kick-off was just the beginning of an unforgettable senior year!

A Letter to the JMP Class of 2026 Senior Team

To my sweet JMP Senior Team girls:

I just want to say how proud I am of each of you already. You showed up with your whole hearts, and it was an absolute honor to capture you in all your light and beauty. This mini session wasn’t just a photo shoot — it was a moment to celebrate YOU. Your growth, your joy, your individuality and YOUR Senior Year!

I can’t wait to walk through the rest of your senior year with you. Whether it’s our styled shoots, milestone moments, or spontaneous confetti celebrations, just know I’m cheering you on every step of the way!

Here’s to Sunset Saturdays, golden hour fun, and the kind of memories that last long after the final photo is snapped!

xo,

Jaclyn May
