Emily’s Senior Story

Say hello to Emily West, a Cisco High School senior with neon-colored vibes, a motorcycle, and a heart that could run circles around the rest of us. Whether she’s binge-watching Friends, blasting Eminem on her bike, or dreaming up ways to turn water into Dr. Pepper (genius, honestly), Emily is in her main character era, and I’m so here for it.

Emily’s Vibes

If Emily had a color palette, it would scream NEON—bold, electric, full of movement. Her personality is just as uncontainable: part Catwoman, part dragon, and all heart. Her friends would describe her as ineffable (yes, she actually used that word), and she radiates a kind of quiet confidence, especially when she’s flying down the road on her motorcycle with the music turned way up.

But don’t get it twisted. Emily is also soft in the ways that matter: deeply caring, genuinely hilarious (even if she won’t admit it), and someone who knows how to show up for the people she loves. Her godparents Leighann and Cody, along with her sister Eve, joined her for the session, a beautiful show of love during a year that’s been anything but easy.

What You Don’t See in the Photos

This year, Emily experienced an unimaginable loss, her mother passed away. And yet, here she is. Finishing senior year. Dreaming about the future. Looking so stunning in front of the camera it almost hurts.

She said she wanted these photos to feel like her. And honestly? They do. They’re a celebration of resilience, of joy in the middle of heartbreak, of the ways love still shows up, even when it’s not in the form we wish it were.

Quickfire Q&A with Emily

Perfect Day Off?
Motorcycle rides + music… or just straight-up napping.

Celebrity Closet to Raid?
Zendaya. Because duh.

Teleportation Destination?
Hawaii. Beautiful, peaceful, warm.

Netflix Snacks?
Pickles, ice cream, and cheese (and no, she’s not taking criticism at this time).

Dream Superpower?
Turning water into Dr Pepper. (This girl gets it.)

People always get this wrong about me:
“That I hate everyone and don’t care about things.” Let the record show, she very much does.

Congratulations Emily! I cannot wait to watch your life unfold!

I’m honored to have been part of this chapter of Emily’s life, one filled with light, legacy, and late-night motorcycle rides. 💛
