I received a message from Katie’s mom about a senior session for a very special graduate. Katie will be receiving an associates degree from college before she receives her high school diploma. It’s one of the many amazing options here in the El Paso school district. She has worked so hard and after meeting her I can only imagine what she will accomplish in life.
The first thing her mom told me is that her daughter had not only cut her hair very short but she had also died it pink. It definitely fits her personality and she rocked it!
Katie loves the mountains by her home so we made sure to go to an area that would document those mountains with her. I love this place and was excited to go out there with her.
I was just getting my camera set up and this happened.
The colors she chose were perfect.
I wanted to get as much of the location as possible so we moved around a lot. She was up for it and I loved photographing her.
WE hWe had to get the cacti in the shot.
I wanted a couple more before she changed outfits and she was ready. The light was perfect.
No words.
She changed outfits and the heart sunglasses came back out. I love her sense of style and her laugh. I’m glad I caught both.
I looked at her outfit and looked across the grassy area at the rocks and sent her on her way.
You can see why here.
There’s that amazing laugh.
She also loves the gate down in the little valley so we went right on over.
The sunlight!
I think every teenager has this look.
I told her we were going to head on back to the car and stopped her for this shot.
Once we got to the top I asked her if there was anything that was missing from the photos and she mentioned that there is a pink house that she loves. Done!

Just a few more before heading back towards the vehicles.
Her mountains.
The last photos were done as we reached the parking section because there is always “one more”.
Thank you so much for asking me to photograph your beautiful girl. She is going to go on to do amazing things in life.
