Class of 2027.

Senior year happens once. Make it unforgettable.

Class of 2027 · Nydam Photography · Austin, TX

We believe you deserve a senior session
that feels like nothing else.

So we built NP Seniors 2027.

A small, handpicked group of seniors who shoot together, support each other, and walk away with portraits — and memories — they'll never forget.

You'll shoot with us multiple times across the season — a group kickoff, an individual session before school, and something truly special: a shoot with your mom. For your main session, a professional stylist, MUA, and hair are included, so you show up feeling exactly how you want to look. Guys get professional photoshoot grooming — so you look sharp on camera, not like you're wearing makeup. Bring your best friend, your pet, your favorite playlist — whatever makes you feel most like yourself. Unlimited locations, unlimited outfit changes. It feels nothing like a photoshoot.

And when it's all over — fine art prints of your best images. Portraits you'll love forever.

The experience

Not just photos.
A full season
of them.

Every other photographer gives you one afternoon, a gallery link, and goodbye. We give you three shoots across the season — so by the time your official portraits happen, you already know how you move, what you love, and exactly how to show up.

Professional stylist, MUA, and hair. Unlimited locations and outfits. A Gallery Reveal where you see every image for the first time — in person, with Arlen.
