Hey there

I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling to find a way to make your senior pictures happen. I don't think it's selfish to be upset about this, because photos are a really great way to commemorate a significant point in your life, and knowing that those photos will be missing is upsetting. I think you're allowed to feel upset about that and I completely get why you do.

I know that it isn't the same thing, but perhaps there is a way you can arrange a non-professional photoshoot with you and some of your friends or family instead. You don't need to have professional cameras and lighting to experience senior pictures, so if you can, why not find a nice spot to take some photos with the people who you would have had your senior photos taken with? You can have some taken of just you too if you like so you have those pictures to look back on one day. You could find a nice park area, or somewhere with a river, or you could just do them at home with a nice backdrop! If you like, you can always make an event of it. Get some party food nibbles and play some music, get people to dress up a bit, and just make your own memories. I know it isn't the same, but sometimes a DIY experience can be even better as it's more personal.

Either way, don't feel bad for feeling upset. It makes a lot of sense.
