Toni's Beach Vibes | Custom Senior Rep Sessions | Waco Grads

When I first launched my Senior Rep Program for Waco area Class of 2026 grads, I knew one thing for certain: each rep would get the full Photography by Delaney senior experience. While group mini sessions are a fun rep-exclusive perk, the heart of my program is in the custom sessions--designed to reflect each senior’s personality, their passions, and their story. My goal is always to capture who they are today while celebrating the exciting new season waiting for them after graduation.

For Toni’s senior session, she wanted to keep things clean, stylish, and beachy. After scouting around for the perfect spot, I decided that Woodway Beach on Lake Waco gave us the best sandy beach vibe to match her vision. To balance that with a modern indoor look, we started her session at Blank Space Studio inside Waco Work which made for the perfect minimalist backdrop to highlight her personality and style.



Like every session, her model-for-a-day experience began with professional hair and makeup, so she would feel polished and confident in front of the camera. Toni chose warm-toned, soft glam with effortless beachy waves, created by Styled by Tay at The Vintage Chair, which perfectly complemented her natural beauty.

We kicked things off in the studio, where her purple eyelet lace dress gave her portraits an elegant, yet timeless feel. We took full advantage of the natural light in the studio and all the simple props they have available.

From there, we headed to Lake Waco where she finished her session in a light blue dress that made her eyes absolutely pop. That outfit choice was even more special because it was the same exact dress she wore when she was just four years old--can you believe it?

We chased ducks, splashed in the water, and by the end of the session, Toni was brave enough to go nearly all the way under the waves--and it was 100% worth it!

Toni’s senior portraits reflect her style, her story, and her adventurous spirit--things I hope to bring out in each grad I photograph. Sessions like hers are why I love specializing in concierge senior photography that feels fully customized and completely unforgettable.

I am still obsessing over this session, and it really is just the beginning... I can’t wait to share what’s coming next for the Class of 2026! Stay tuned for much much more!

XOXO,

Delaney
