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!

Palisade High School | Destinee

The Class of 2017 from Palisade High School will walk across the stage one last time today and among those turning their tassels is the lovely Destinee.  Destinee has been an awesome member of my street team throughout her senior year and I have really enjoyed getting to know her!  Later this fall she will attend Regis University in Denver, CO to study chemistry and she even received an annual scholarship to do so!

Way to go, girl!  I am so excited for where life's journey will take you and I have no doubts that you will be incredibly successful!!

Congratulations, Destinee!

Coal Ridge Class of 2017 | Madison

The Coal Ridge Class of 2017 is about to set free another incredible student!  Allow me to introduce to you Miss Madison!  Madie will graduate with her class mates on May 21st and this fall she is headed to Colorado Mesa University to obtain her Nursing degree!  Family and friends are so proud her and she's definitely earned all of the good fortune headed her way.  Madie has received a handful of scholarships to help her on her journey to success and among those scholarships awarded are:  CMU Distinguished Scholars (Full tuition), CMU First Generation, and the Glenwood Hot Springs Higher Education Scholarship.

I thoroughly enjoyed having Madie on my Team this year.  The very first time we met I was blown away by her infectious smile!  Seriously, this girl has a smile that you remember and it's so contagious.  Madie has held the position of Senior Class president throughout her final year as a Titan and one of the things she will miss the most is being able to coordinate all of the class and school events.  She will also greatly miss her peers and classmates.  (I'm going to miss you too, girl!)

Congratulations, Madison!

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!
