Describe your session to someone that was not at the session. (Best part, funniest moment, coolest location, etc)
I thought my session went really well. I felt totally comfortable and I got to shoot in the kind of landscape that I really wanted. It also didn’t feel long at all, it went very smoothly!
What was the best High School moment so far or what are you going to miss most about High School.
There have been too many great moments in high school to count! However, I know I will always remember being crowned homecoming queen my senior year. I will miss the closeness with my friends who I’ve grown up with and being involved in volleyball and basketball the most.
What are your future plans after high school?
My plan after high school is to go to college to get a neonatal nursing degree. The rest will surprise me I suppose!:)

If you could be a SuperHero? What would your name be and what would be your Superpower?
I don’t have any particular SuperHero that I would want to be, but I know for a fact I would want to have the super power of invisibility. My name would be… I don’t know, because I am not creative enough to come up with a cool SuperHero name.
Describe your session to someone that was not at the session. (Best part, funniest moment, coolest location, etc)
My session was beautiful, we took most of the pictures out in the fall colors and some by the river. The coolest location of my session was in one of Allison’s friend’s front yard. It does’t seem like a usual location for a photo shoot, but there is a cluster of Aspen trees in their yard which are perfect for pictures.
What was the best High School moment so far or what are you going to miss most about High School.
The thing I am going to miss most about High School is sporting events. I love love love to watch sports and it is a great way to get everyone together to cheer on your friends and fellow class mates.

My plans for after High School are pretty vague right now. All I know is that I am going to go to college, I have not idea where I am going to go or what I am going to study. I have been thinking about studying Criminal Justice, but that’s just an option right now.

Describe your session to someone that was not at the session. (Best part, funniest moment, coolest location, etc)
We started in the studio and took some pictures behind a really cool circular light because it was cold outside. Then we went to a beautiful ranch and took pictures by the trees and the pond and such. We then went to a little spot with a pretty log fence and some aspen trees and got some cute pictures there. Then finally we went to a field on the side of the road and took some pictures of me with the mountains in the background, and I layed down in the tall grass. My session was so much fun (even though it was cold.) I had a great time and I CANNOT wait to see my pictures!!

Describe your session to someone that was not at the session. (Best part, funniest moment, coolest location, etc)
My session was fantastic!! We went to a creek/waterfall/forested area that i went to often during my childhood, so it was very special to me. The hike up was a little long but beautiful, and once we got up there we had a great time shooting in the colors and near the water. The best and funniest part of the shoot was when i decided i was up to getting in the FREEZING COLD water! I layed down in the creek and tried my best to keep my composure for some amazing shots 🙂 I loved my shoot!!

Describe your session to someone that was not at the session. (Best part, funniest moment, coolest location, etc)
I think we had the best location out of all the senior pictures i have seen someone do!! We went to a nice little field even though the grass was dead I thought it was the perfect place. Behind the grass field was a beautiful mountain that had some colors on it! We also took some pictures among-st many Pine trees. I brought my horse and my dogs and I hope they turn out great!!(and of course they will)
What was the best High School moment so far or what are you going to miss most about High School.
I am going to miss seeing all my friends everyday. I think the best High School moment was when I went to England for 2 weeks. That trip really opened my eyes and made me realize that even though we speak the same language as them it is still such a different culture. It was most defiantly the best trip I have ever been on.
What are your future plans after high school?
My plans for after high school I’m not 100% sure about yet. I would like to look at a couple schools. A school in Arizona, Sterling CO, or Wyoming. But there is a chance I would also stay in Durango.

Describe your session to someone that was not at the session. (Best part, funniest moment, coolest location, etc)
Well, we started off in Alison’s beautiful studio, and i brought probably enough clothes to travel for a week. But beside that, Alison gives you ways to pose and makes the experience really comfortable (well, not always the poses hah..). The funniest part of my shoot was the stray dog and drunken old man trying to make appearances in my photos, i just had to decline. The fall colors around town were breathtaking, and made for a perfect location. The entire shoot was amazing.
What was the best High School moment so far or what are you going to miss most about High School.
The best high school moment so far has been all the sporting events. I am going to miss being connected as an entire school and cheering on our teams.
What are your future plans after high school?
I am looking into some schools for college, but I am very torn between the east and west coast.
