Bonne Matheson
Durango High School

What do you do? (Activies, Sport, Hobbies, Work)
I swim on both the Durango Swim Club and DHS Girls Varsity Swim and Diving Team. My favorite hobbies are taking pictures and hiking/backpacking.

If you could be a SuperHero? What would your name be and what would be your Superpower?
My superhero name would be Bonster and my superpower would be to walk on water.

Describe your session to someone that was not at the session. (Best part, funniest moment, coolest location, etc)
My session was a blast! Allison was completely willing to go on a hike to get the perfect shot. The coolest location I took my senior pictures at would be Cascade Creek. It was original, and the ambiance of the area really showed my personality.

What was the best High School moment so far or what are you going to miss most about High School.
So far my favorite High School moment is the bus trips that we take for away swim meets. My team always has so much fun together that I have come to like the bus rides more than the actual swim meet. When I leave for college I am most going to miss the friendships that I have made. I’ve grown up with a lot of the people I go to school with now, so when I leave it will kind of be like saying “goodbye” to my childhood.

What are your future plans after high school?
I plan to go to college and get a major in something science related. I really want to become an orthopedic surgeon, but I haven’t really chosen the path I want to take in order to get there.

What would you like others to know about Allison Ragsdale Photography?
That Allison is AMAZING! She really makes you feel comfortable while taking pictures, and the entire experience is just a blast.

Describe your session to someone that was not at the session. (Best part, funniest moment, coolest location, etc)
The best part of my session was taking pictures on the fall, my favorite time of the year and finding all the good places with changed leaves to pose.

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 my school itself. I’m going to miss coming to school, in our little strip mall high school and being excited for whatever that day is going to hold. Most of all I am going to miss my friends and teachers.

What are your future plans after high school?
After high school I want to go to college and pursue a degree in art therapy. I am really excited and also nervous about this next chapter of my life.

Bayfield Senior Picture Photographer

Sam (Samantha), a Bayfield High School Class of 2013 senior, came in for her session on a Saturday morning with her friend Jamie (who is one of our BHS Class of 2013 Models) for moral support. We had a great time running around town, using some of my all time favorite locations and a few new spots as well. Sam was totally flexible and up for anything. I photographed Sam a few years ago on her family session, so it was fun to see her again, “all grown up”! Hope you love these few of my favorites!

Animas High School Senior Pictures

Austin is a Class of 2013 Senior at Animas High School – and a member of their first graduating class. I have really enjoyed working with and getting to know so many of the AHS seniors this year – they are such a great group of people! Austin wanted more of a downtown urban feel to his portraits, so we spent the afternoon in and around the Smiley Building, which is one of my favorite locations. Thanks Austin for being up for anything and everything and I hope you love these few of my favorites!
