Fire & Fierce Grace — Sierra’s Unforgettable Senior Session


When Sierra walked into my Spokane studio for her senior portraits, I knew right away this was going to be an unforgettable senior session. A competitive ice skater with punk-rock edge and fierce elegance, she wanted to create something completely out of the ordinary—and she absolutely delivered.

Combining her lifelong love of skating with her rebellious sense of style, Sierra envisioned a session that would showcase both grit and grace. She came styled to perfection: from edgy fishnet tights and bold makeup to a custom tank top and ripped denim. Her off-ice portraits embraced the punk aesthetic unapologetically—complete with a snake as a surprise prop and a few neon-pink studio walls to amp up the energy.

But it was on the ice where her true vision came alive. Sierra didn’t just pose; she performed. And to top it off? We hired Mohammed Khair M. Kourma, a professional fire-breather to literally ignite her story. Flames roared behind her as she struck powerful poses mid-routine, creating jaw-dropping imagery that captured her spirit in motion. In some frames, she appeared to control fire itself—an homage to the passion, power, and perseverance that fuel her every move.

Sierra’s session was a masterclass in contrast—where grunge met grace, and elegance burned with a little rebellion. It was creative, fearless, and undeniably her.

This is what senior portraits should be: a reflection of personality, passion, and presence. Sierra didn’t just mark a milestone—she turned it into a moment we’ll never forget. Making it an unforgettable senior session.

Ice, fire, and a whole lot of attitude—Sierra, Class of 2026, you are one-of-a-kind!
