Maya | Lincoln North Star High School | Senior Class of 2024
Here’s what Maya had to say about her senior experience with Sonnenblume!
Sonnenblume brought my vision to life. Gabby and Emma created such a beautiful atmosphere for me to be myself during my session. In her work there is support, feminine power, and such kind memories created. I enjoyed having my pictures taken by Sonnenblume and I was ecstatic about the results. My pictures are unique, colorful, and otherworldly, all thanks to Sonnenblume.
Meet Maya
Maya is a 2024 senior from Lincoln North Star High School. She sees herself as feminine, intentional and expressive, and man did her personality shine through in her session. From the moment I met Maya, I could feel how unique and genuine her spirit was, and just knew we were going to create some wonderfully unique senior pictures for her. Maya is so artistic and creative. Her hobbies include reading, gardening, painting, drawing, fashion, interior design, and cooking. She says she loves all of them because each one is a little puzzle piece that she gains as she completes her life puzzle. Seriously, the wisdom this girl has just blows me away.
While her dream career is working at the Smithsonian, her life goals are so much deeper. I always ask my seniors what the biggest lesson they learned in highs school was. She said, “The greatest lesson I learned in high school is that I want to be truly authentic to Maya Hunt. I learned that self improvement is my only answer in life and with that I hope that I never stop evolving mentally, physically, spiritually, and socially. She also learned that it’s important to do things that her future self will thank her for. After she graduates, she plans on attending college, but more importantly, spreading love. In the future, she simply wants to find authentic happiness and build a nice life for herself. Maya, I hope you always keep these goals at the core of any venture you follow, and abundance will always be yours. But also, don’t forget your awesome bucket list of traveling to three countries, learning 3 languages, and scuba diving! You’re in for a lifetime of adventure!
Now, check out her senior pictures! Maya had a Simple Senior Session at the end of August. We started at the most adorable antique shop in the Havelock area, Piqued Curosities, to capture a very eclectic and vintage look. Then we took advantange of some beautiful glowy golden hour light at Pioneers Park. We used one of the beautiful ponds and some open tall grasses to get a very free-spirited vibe.
The creativity and authenticity Maya brought to her session was absolutely life-giving.

Nora | Lincoln East High School | Senior Class of 2024
Here’s what Nora had to say about her senior experience with Sonnenblume!
Before the pictures, I was feeling a little self conscious. But as we got more into the shoot, Gabby helped me relax through telling me how to pose and knowing how to navigate the different spaces. Gabby's encouraging words and direction really helped me feel more confident throughout the photoshoots.
Meet Nora
Nora is a 2024 senior from Lincoln East High School. She is such an outgoing, creative, spunky, loving, determined and adventurous soul. She loves cooking and baking because she loves making new things and giving them out to her loved ones. Sh also loves playing softball and lifting because she loves being active while also being able to socialize with her friends.
After high school, she is planning on going to Colorado State University to study Interior or Architectural Design. She is still undecided on a specific career, but she really wants her future to involve creating and designing living spaces for homeless and disadvantage people. She says, “I am passionate about this because a lot of people think that homeless people got themselves into this situation and could work out of it. However, that is far from the truth for many people. These disadvantaged situations are easy to get into and hard to find a way out of. Providing living spaces allows for more dignity and a better chance for a brighter future.
When I asked her what the biggest lesson was that she learned in high school, she said, “Don't take it all so seriously, make sure to have fun.” It’s so easy to get caught up in the academics, the drama, the chaos of high school. I love this lesson because it’s one we can all learn from and take with us for a lifetime. The magic of life happens when you’re having fun, and I think Nora is in for a lifetime of fun. Her bucket list includes Travel more outside the country, skydive, and have a spontaneous trip.
I also asked her about the best piece of advice she’s been given. Her answer was: “Take time for yourself!” Another little nugget that is just pure gold. YOU matter. Your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual self MATTER. Take time to fill your cup, to do things that bring you joy. Do the deep work to be your best self. The better you take care of yourself, the better you can share your light with the world.
Nora, you’re an inspiration. You’re so unique, creative, compassionate, fun, and beautiful inside and out. You’re going to do amazing things, girl!
Now, check out her senior pictures! Nora had a Simple Senior Session with an extra outfit and we did her sessions in September. We started at the most adorable vinyl store in Lincoln, New Day Vinyl, to capture her love of music. Then we took advantange of some beautiful glowy light and landscaping out front before we headed over to Holmes lake to get some more end-of-summer wildflowers. Due to events downtown, we did the rest of her session another day. We finished at the Graduate hotel in downtown Lincoln for some funky lobby vibes followed by a gorgeous golden hour rooftop city-scape look.
All I could think the whole time was holy crap, you are such a BEAUTIFUL GLOWY GODDESS!

And here’s what her mom, Jennene had to say.
I witnessed her ability to truly bring out the individual spirit and another level of excellent service with my youngest daughter, who is creative and wanted pictures at record store and a hotel with funky interior. Gabby arranged with the record store and hotel so we could have her pictures taken at their businesses. I have never seen my daughter that confident and the pictures turned out so fun and fabulous! I am not sure how I will choose the final pictures to order. I am confident that we will narrow it down as Gabby walked us through pictures for my older two, gave us time and space to decide while helping us narrow down to our absolutely favorites.
