Meet Lillian

Lillian is a 2024 senior from Columbus High School. Lillian loves all things music because she says it gives her a release. She plays violin, absolutely ADORES Taylor Swift, and this love for music is also shaping her future. It’s something she wants to instill in others, so she will be going to UNL to major in Music education with dreams of becoming a music teacher! In her class she hopes to help her students become more confident and have a good time.

When I asked her what the biggest lesson was that she learned in high school, she said, “Never give up, even when you want to.” This little nugget is golden, and fits really well with the best advice she’s been given. “You lose when you give up.” Life can be tough. We go through good seasons and bad, highs and lows. Not everything we do will be a walk in the park. But I truly believe that working hard and not giving up even when you want to is what makes that win so much sweeter. I also feel like it goes hand in hand with how she wants to make an impact on this world. Lillian told me, “I strongly believe in helping others who are not able to help themselves.” I think that she has such a huge heart, and can use this advice she’s been given to help others never give up. This girl has such a big heart, is so full of joy and creativity, is always working hard, and I just can’t wait to watch her continue to spread her light!

Now, check out her senior pictures! Lillian had a customize Seasonal Senior Experience. We started with Christmas lights in the downtown Haymarket. Her next session was in the snow! This one was tricky because we had to wait for a snowstorm to hit that both was snowy enough, AND wasn’t so bad we couldn’t go out.

For the rest of her pictures, we visited a lavender farm for a flirty country feel, went to the Hotshops in the OldMarket area of Omaha and went into the art gallery with her red prom dress and violin, and then finished with a more nature inspired vibe at the waterfall at Platte River State Park. She commemorated her senior pictures with a combination of digital images and an heirloom album.

Here’s what Lillian had to say about her senior experience with Sonnenblume!

During my session Gabby made me feel very confident and comfortable not only around her but also behind the camera. I love how creative and artistic my photos turned out. I would definitely recommend Sonnenblume Studios to all my friends because of the great experience I had.

And here’s what her mom, Delanie had to say.

Gabby is amazing to work with. She listened to my daughters and captured their personalities. Gabby took our oldest daughter’s pictures 5 years ago and then our younger daughter’s pictures this year. She was willing to figure out how to give each of them unique settings and looks. Gabby went above and beyond planning the sessions. She gave advice on outfits and was so much fun during the appointments. The results are treasured memories of a moment in their lives.
