Central High School Class of 2017 | Reilly

They are graduating faster than I can produce the blog posts!  I couldn't forget Miss Reilly who walked with Central High School's Class of 2017 yesterday morning!  I've said it before but I'll say it again, I am so lucky to get to work with such a great group of Seniors year after year.  Reilly has really been one of my favorites this season because she is such a hard worker and an inspiration to her peers.  She has already turned her tassel and tossed her cap in the air and this fall she is headed to Colorado Mesa University to study Psychology.  She is excited for her college adventures but she is going to miss her friends and the nights spent in the student section at the volleyball and basketball games!  She even admits that she will miss the teachers that she grew close to during her 4 years of high school.  Awwwww, Reilly girl, you are such a sweetheart!  I can't wait to see and hear about all the fun you are going to have at CMU!

Congratulations!!

Palisade HS Class of 2017 | Ivy

Palisade HS Class of 2017 is full of incredible students!  Among those students who will soon flip her tassel and toss her hat in the air is Miss Ivy.  This girl right here has been so much fun to watch and work with over the past year!  She has a heart of gold and a personality that instantly makes you want to be her best friend! Ivy will walk across the stage on May 15th and this fall she is headed to Colorado State University in Fort Collins.  She's got her eye on some pretty outstanding degrees including a Bachelor's in Psychology/Criminal Justice and then she wants to pursue her master's in Forensic Psychology.  You go girl!

Ivy tells me that she will miss her friends and the thousands of adventures!  She will miss the family-like atmosphere of her high school classes and more specifically her IB peers.  Late night football games were some of her favorite times and the late night dinners with besties.  Don't worry, Ivy girl, college life won't disappoint.  I promise!

Ivy has been a wonderful addition to my Class of 2017 Street Team!

I can't wait to see all you do in life!

Coal Ridge High School Senior Photographer | Kylie

The end is near!  Well, the end of High School anyway.  Over the next couple of weeks I will be showcasing the 2017 graduates that I had the pleasure of working with over the past year.

Meet Kylie!  Kylie will soon graduate from Coal Ridge High School in Silt/New Castle, Colorado.  I have had the pleasure of getting to know Kylie quite well over the past few years, she even babysits for us on occasion.  She is the sweetest thing and I know that her future holds great things for her!

Kylie will graduate on May 21st and this fall she is headed to The University of Northern Colorado to study criminology and criminal justice.  She has been an active member of the Coal Ridge Cheer Team throughout high school and plans to continue that path through college by participating in the dance club.

Miss Kylie has the most incredible parents a kid could dream of being raised by and they are the one thing she will miss the most when she embarks on this new adventure.

To all upcoming Seniors, Kylie wants to leave you with a little advice:

"High School goes by too fast.  Don't take it for granted.  Enjoy it to the very fullest!"

Congratulations, Kylie!  We are all so excited to see you off on this wonderful journey!
