Founders Hall Summer Senior Session | Joelle Thornton

Joelle’s Founders Hall summer senior session was nothing short of perfect. I couldn’t stop saying that word the entire evening. Perfect outfits, perfect location, and most of all, the perfect senior to photograph!

Joelle is one of my amazing 2026 senior spokesmodels, and she came ready to shine. From the moment we started, it felt less like a photoshoot and more like hanging out with a friend I had known for years. We laughed, chatted nonstop, and had so much fun capturing this exciting season of her life.

A Location with Bold Architecture and Pops of Greenery

Joelle wanted crisp, strong architectural lines with just a touch of greenery, and Founders Hall was the ideal choice. The clean lines of the building paired with her bold outfits gave her photos such a striking, modern feel. And when the soft summer light hit the building just right, it was pure magic behind the camera.

One of my favorite moments was when she wore an outfit that unintentionally repped her Central York High School colors, orange and black. It was such a fun nod to her school spirit and looked incredible against the sleek backdrop.

A Senior with Big Dreams

During our session, I loved learning more about Joelle’s plans for the future. She’s very active in her school’s Young Life group, and she hopes to attend West Chester University after graduation. With her kindness, energy, and ambition, I know she’s going to make such an impact wherever she goes.

Celebrating Senior Year

Sessions like Joelle’s remind me why I love photographing seniors so much. Every outfit, laugh, and little in-between moment tells the story of who they are right now. Joelle absolutely rocked her Founders Hall Summer Senior Session, and I can’t wait to see where this year takes her.

If you’re a 2026 senior, Fall dates are filling fast! Reach out to book your senior session and let’s create images that feel perfectly YOU.
