Dear Class of 2025,

You’ve grown up in a world that changed quickly—and often without warning. Through it all, you learned how to adapt, how to persevere, and to keep moving forward when the future felt uncertain. Even in the moments you didn’t realize it, you were being carried, guided, and strengthened.

Senior year is a season full of lasts and firsts, sometimes arriving all at once. Last early mornings before school. Last seasons, rehearsals, routines. And first glimpses of what life might look like beyond what you’ve always known.

It’s an in-between season—that you are standing in with more grace than you realize, and God is meeting you here.

You don’t have to have everything figured out yet. There is purpose in the waiting and growth in the unknown. Trust that the steps ahead will be revealed in time, and that you are being guided—even when the path feels unclear.

As you step forward, pause for a moment. Notice the confidence you’ve grown into. The resilience you’ve built. The ways God has shaped you through challenges, quiet victories, unanswered questions, and moments of faith that carried you when you felt unsure.

Senior photos exist for this very reason—not to capture perfection, but to capture presence. To hold onto a moment before everything changes. One day, these images will remind you that you were brave, capable, and exactly where you were meant to be.

To the parents walking just behind them—this season is deeply yours too. You’ve prayed, trusted, worried, hoped, and let go in small ways long before this moment arrived. Watching your child step into what’s next is both a joy and an act of faith.

Class of 2025, wherever you are headed—college, careers, creativity, or a path still unfolding—walk forward with courage and trust. God has plans for you, plans filled with hope and purpose, even when they look different than you imagined.

This chapter is closing. A new one is beginning.

And it is filled with promise 🤍

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord… plans to give you hope and a future.
— Jeremiah 29:11

With so much prayer and hope,
Ashley
