Summer is for FUN! And there's no better end to summer than a visit to your local county Fair! Fairs make the perfect backdrop for a high school senior photo session. The lights, the people, the cotton candy, the rides, the smell of horse poo in the air...I love it all!
Next summer when the fair rolls into town, hit me up!
Coal Ridge Senior, Emily will also turn her tassel later today! Later this fall she will be headed off to pursue a degree as a dental hygienist and she will also be playing volleyball. (She's pretty good too, I might add!). I am really going to miss her and her funny sense of humor. I call her my pig whisperer as she often baby sits my pig for me (she thinks the Pig hate her), haha!! Good luck to you, Emily girl!! I am so excited for you and your future! Have fun today!

Coal Ridge HS Senior, Santana, is another who will graduate today with top honors in her class! This 4 sport athlete received word not long ago that she is one of three at CR to be awarded the Daniels Scholarship! For those who don't know, the Daniels Scholarship allows Santana to attend any college of her choice in the nation PAID IN FULL. No doubt it took a lot of hard work, many essays and interviews to even be considered. I personally think this is an incredible achievement for Tana and her parents must be over the moon with excitement!
Congratulations, Santana!! Go get em girl!!

My Shelby girl is another graduate who will walk tomorrow with Rifle High School!! Shelby is another amazing dancer with the Full Throttle Dance Co. team that will be heading to Worlds this summer. If you read my post about Kylee then you know exactly what I'm talking about ;). Shelby plans to hang with me this summer and I learn what she can about the exiting life of Photography, maybe even assist me with a few weddings which I'm totally stoked about!
Congrats, Shelby!! Have so much fun this weekend and take lots of pictures!!

Remember, I told you that the Coal Ridge Titans are graduating tomorrow! That includes this lady Titan right here, Samantha! I spent a good part of the winter watching this young lady on the basketball court and if you didn't get to see her play then you totally missed out! I might be a little bit biased as basketball is my jam ;) She is also an avid soccer athlete and her and her team had a good season this year as well. If you see Sam out and about this summer then please congratulate her on her future endeavors! She will be headed CMU this fall with a few of her fellow classmates.
Congratulations, Sam!!

Yearbook photos have been turned in and this Roaring Fork Senior Photographer is celebrating another successfully busy season! Thank you to all of the High School Seniors who have chosen CJP to create some totally rad images to document this important milestone! What do I do now that the season has ended? Well, I get to catch up on all the adult tasks that come with owning a business like taxes and the not so fun stuff that these seniors will soon get to complain about as well. But, during the midst of adulthood I enjoy getting to spend every chance I get with these young people before they embark on their new adventures. It's a time for me to be creative, play, and shoot without pressure. That's exactly what we did here in our local laundromat! Enough with the cold winter months, let's do something indoors. So I called up these two awesome gals and said "hey, find some retro"ish" outfits and let's go play in the Laundromat (because I had been there not long ago and the light was amazing!). We did and we had a blast! Although, the Laundromat was quite busy - who knew?
2016 is going out with a BANG! Last year I gave away a free family photo session by yours truly and I'd like to do it again! This time around there will be 2 Winners! You have a choice of a Family session or a High School Senior Session.
The contest is simple and will run from Dec. 23 through Dec. 31st @ 11:59 pm. Winners will be announced on January 1st, 2017
Caity Grace, Plateau Valley Class of 2017, is the first Senior to make the blog this season! Caity is a Cowboy! I don't mean a boot wearing, country singing, cow wrangling kinda cowboy - she is a Plateau Valley Cowboy (KAC!)! She is an amazing young woman, so sweet and down to earth who has future plans to play college basketball after she turns her tassel in the spring. Caity came over the hill to hang out with me in Silt for her Senior Photo Session which was nothing short of AMAZING! See for yourself...
And please follow me on instagram for all the latest senior fun and send me a request on snapchat (carriejphotos) for plenty of behind the scenes action!
