 Meet Camryn — one of the most driven and accomplished seniors I’ve had the pleasure of photographing! Camryn is graduating from Dickinson High School, and it was such a bittersweet moment seeing his Class of 2025 tassel. It hit me that wore that same cap and gown exactly 20 years ago, as Class of 2005. Time really does fly, and it made this session even more meaningful.  Camryn recently committed to the University of St. Thomas after earning a full scholarship — a huge accomplishment that reflects just how hard he’s worked. He applied to both UST and Texas State, but ultimately chose UST since it's close to home and covering everything. He found his passion for track early on and has absolutely soared, literally! He’s competed in hurdles and high jump, and his dedication paid off. Camryn made the newspaper this year for becoming the district champ for two years in a row. That kind of consistency, talent, and focus is rare.  Camryn is excited to graduate and step into this next chapter. He’s especially looking forward to continuing his track career in college and growing his independence as he starts this new journey. With plans to major in business and computer science. Camryn, you’re going to do amazing things. Congratulations again and enjoy your sneak peek!

This session was so special to me. Not just because Trevor is graduating (which is a huge deal!), but because I’ve known this young man literally his entire life.  I’ve known Trevor’s mom since we were in kindergarten. We grew up together, shared childhood memories, and have remained friends over the years. When Trevor was born, he became the first baby I ever got to hold whenever I wanted and believe me, I took full advantage of that! He was also my very first “model” back when I was still learning photography. I’m pretty sure he endured quite a few awkward poses and photo experiments. To be behind the camera for his senior session felt like everything coming full circle. Watching him grow into such a respectful, kind, and driven young man has been such a joy, and getting to capture this milestone was truly an honor.  When he was little, Trevor loved riding his stuffed horse named Pancake. He would spend hours pretending to be a cowboy, and those “practice rides” have taken him farther than any of us could have imagined. This fall, he’ll be enrolling in the welding program at Wharton County Junior College on a rodeo scholarship! Not only is that amazing, but here’s the kicker—they came looking for him. He didn’t even apply. That speaks volumes about his talent, dedication, and the impression he’s already made in the rodeo world.  Look for this guy on the back of a bull on WCJC’s rodeo team come fall, he’s just getting started!
Trevor, I’m so proud of you. I can’t wait to see all the incredible things your future holds. I had a blast at the park with this Senior today! Congratulations Mariah!      |
