From high school senior portraits in 2024 to prom magic this past spring , photographing Harper has been such a joy. Watching her step confidently into her senior year has been such an honor, and she has grown into an absolutely stunning young lady both inside and out.

Harper comes from the well-known Manning family here in Myrtle Beach, whose name is recognized in the community not only for their success in the construction and building business, but also for their kindness and influence. Her mom, Deana, has been such a strong presence in cheering on every milestone, and it’s been so special to see the love and support surrounding Harper as she moves through these big moments.

Her senior portraits were full of beauty and grace — timeless images that captured her personality, confidence, and that exciting anticipation of all that’s ahead. Then this spring, I had the chance to photograph her again for prom, and it was pure magic. Prom night is such a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and Harper radiated elegance and joy, making the evening feel straight out of a fairytale.

For me, this is exactly why I love being a Myrtle Beach senior photographer — it’s about more than just photos. It’s about preserving a season of life that goes by so quickly. Senior year is full of so many big moments, from portraits to prom, and it’s always such an honor to capture them all so families can look back and remember this time with pride and joy.

Here’s to Harper — for all the memories, milestones, and magic of senior year. I can’t wait to see all the incredible things she will do next!
