If there’s one thing I believe in, it’s the power of photos to tell a story.
Senior year already holds so many unforgettable moments—and Chapter 26 is my way of helping you pause, take it all in, and capture it in a way that’s both beautiful and meaningful.
This isn’t a model team or a rep program. I've done those and as much as I love them, this is something different. A way to give my clients something more this year. It’s a small group experience for Class of 2026 girls who want to do senior year with intention—through creative photo shoots, real connection, and a little space to reflect on who you are in God's eyes, and who you’re becoming.
Yes, there will be photo shoots. But also conversations that matter. Time to reflect. A space to grow both in confidence and in faith.
Whether you’re bold or quiet, artsy or athletic, this is a place to feel seen, celebrated, and part of something special.
I can’t wait to get started.
Let’s tell this chapter well.

Chapter 26 is for girls in the Class of 2026 who want more than just photos—they want to be part of something meaningful.
This is for the ones who love creativity, deep conversations, and showing up as their full, honest selves. You don’t need to be loud or outgoing, just open to connection, reflection, and growing in confidence and purpose.
While this isn’t a Bible study, faith will be part of the experience. We’ll talk about identity, purpose, and the bigger story God is writing in your life. If you’re open to that and excited to grow in a small, encouraging group of girls, you’ll fit right in.
To join Chapter 26, you must:
There’s no additional charge to be part of Chapter 26—it’s a complimentary, exclusive experience for my full senior portrait clients.
Think of it as a bonus gift for the girls who choose to trust me with this special season.
However, because this experience takes time, energy, and creativity, it’s not for girls just looking for free photos. It’s for those who are already booking their senior session with me and want to be part of something rooted in faith and connection.
Spots are limited and filled on a first-come, first-served basis once your senior session is officially booked.
Yes—if she’s also in the Class of 2026 and books her senior session with me. I want this group to feel warm and connected, so bringing a friend can be a great way to ease in. But even if you don’t know anyone at first, I promise you’ll leave with real connection by the end.
Right now, Chapter 26 includes three themed group shoots: one in the summer, one in the fall, and one in the winter.
Each shoot is a group session with a creative, seasonal theme. You’ll show up styled based on a simple outfit guide, we’ll shoot as a group, and you’ll also get some time for individual portraits.
After the shoot, we’ll slow down for some intentional connection. Maybe a coffee or dessert stop. Nothing intense or overly structured—just time to reflect, connect, and be seen.
I’m only committing to three shoots at this time but there may be opportunities to add a bonus spring shoot or studio session later in the year if the group wants to and scheduling allows!
No—but faith will be part of this experience. We’ll talk about identity, purpose, and what it means to live a story that matters, and sometimes that includes Scripture or prayer.
You don’t need to believe exactly what I believe to be part of it, but it’s important to know that my faith shapes the way I lead and the kind of conversations we’ll have. If you’re open to that, you’re welcome here.
Hi, I’m Dawn—owner of Dawn Sparks Photography and a firm believer that life is full of stories worth telling.
I’ve been a professional photographer for over 21 years, and I absolutely love getting to know the people I photograph—especially during seasons as meaningful as senior year. My sessions are relaxed, creative, and always focused on capturing what’s real—not just what looks good in a frame.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me with coffee in hand, reading a good book (or deep in a theology podcast), dreaming of the beach, or journaling my way through Scripture. I’m a mom of four, a counseling student, and someone who deeply desires a meaningful relationship with the Lord.
I believe beauty is found in the in-between moments, that encouragement matters, and that photography can be a way to remind someone just how valuable and seen they are.
I’m so glad you’re here.
Dawn
Thank you! I will get back with you shortly!
