Coal Ridge Class of 2017 | Christian

Today is the day that the Coal Ridge Class of 2017 will walk together and say their goodbyes one last time.  Among those students is Christian whom I've gotten to know over the past year and I can tell you he is one funny guy!  Christian is headed to Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah this fall.  There he will earn his Bachelors in Biology.

Congratulations, Christian!!

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!!

Central High School | Briana

I'm not sure if she tossed that beautifully decorated hat into the air but this girl graduated earlier today from Central High School!  Briana is so amazing!  Seriously, I can't think of a better word to describe her!  I have gotten to know Briana over the past year as a member of my model team and she is so sweet I wish I could keep her around forever!  She has worked so hard to get where she's going and this fall she is headed to the University of Colorado Boulder to study Chemical Engineering.  She earned a plethora of scholarships to help her fulfill her dreams including the University of Colorado Boulder Outstanding Student Award, the Grand Valley Power Scholarship and the CMU Distinguished scholars award... just to name a few.

When I asked Briana if there was anything I should share with the world on her behalf, she wanted to send a HUGE thank you to her parents for supporting her throughout the years and helping her to become the person she is today!  She even thanked ME, oh my gosh what a doll she is!  Thanks Briana!!  You are the greatest!!

I wish you all the best and I can't wait to follow your journey!

Caleb is another Graduate coming out of Grand Junction and he will soon earn his diploma from Valley West High School.  Caleb is an incredibly talented dancer and has been a member of the Absolute Dance Studio in GJ for quite some time.  He has been dancing since he was 9 years old and recently received a full tuition scholarship to The Kansas City Ballet summer intensive where he will be heading for 5 weeks this summer!  Caleb plans to take a gap year before heading off to college and soaking in as much dance as he can.

Be on the lookout for Caleb this fall when Absolute Dance hosts the ballet show, Snow White!

Congratulations, Caleb!

I wish you all the best on your new adventures!

Coal Ridge High School Class of 2017 | Carrie Johnson Photography

Meet the Coal Ridge HS Class of 2017, Carrie Johnson Photography Street Team!

Each year I gather a group of upcoming high school seniors who want to have fun and earn discounts towards their senior portraits by doing so!  This year I have had the privilege of working with two teams, one from GJ and one from Coal Ridge High School.  I've blogged about this group before because this is their second session with me, but they are so much Fun to work with and be around!

These kids help me to promote my business and most importantly they help spread the word to their peers that Senior Portraits are coming due this fall to the schools for yearbook submissions.  My street Team crew earns discounts towards their individual portrait sessions by sharing their images from their group mini sessions AND their peers also receive discounts for booking through Carrie Johnson Photography!

So, if you are a Senior in High School or know of a senior in high school, be sure to send them my way so they can get in on the awesome discounts!

Also, be sure to follow me on Instagram and Snap Chat (user carriejphotos).

Lynze | Fruita Monument Senior Photographer

Another lovely is making her debut on my blog today!  This is Lynze!  She attends Fruita Monument High School and will graduate this spring with the class of 2016.  Lynze is such a sweet soul and she was so much fun to photograph.  Her goal is to go to cosmetology school and why shouldn't she?  Just look at that perfectly gorgeous makeup that she did herself!  Stunning!!

Good luck Lynze in all you do!
