Senior sessions have been in FULL mode over here at CMP!

Here’s a little peek at some of the images from Ryan’s recent senior session. I always love giving my seniors lots of variety to choose from—and anyone who has worked with me knows I take LOTS and LOTS of photos! I want you to have plenty of favorites when it’s time to choose your final images.

I still have some openings for September & October senior sessions!

Weekdays in September are prime! The temperatures are starting to cool down, the humidity is (hopefully!) disappearing, and I still schedule most sessions around 4:30–5:00 PM, making it the perfect time to head to your session right after school.

My weekend availability is very limited, but if weekends are the only option that works for your schedule, reach out! I’ll always do my best to find something that works.

If you have a Class of 2027 senior who still needs their senior portraits, now is the time to get on the calendar!

Send me a message to grab one of the remaining September or October dates!

Catching up on editing today before my senior session... so stay tuned to have your feed filled. :) First up, this sweet little one, Miss Olivia. Feels like just the other day I did her newborn session and then here we were, 1 year session! Mom wanted a fairy themed, mystical set, so I had to get a new backdrop and have her vision come to life! Have to say I loved it!

Nate | Class of 2027 | Wolcott High School
I met up with Nate at one of my favorite senior session locations, Gouevia Vineyards, and I think Mother Nature decided to finally cooperate with us!

After pouring buckets the night before and all morning, the sun came out just in time for our 4:00 session. We had a few puddles to strategically walk around, but otherwise… it was pretty much perfect!

Nate is one of those seniors who keeps himself BUSY. Between Cross Country, Tennis, Pickleball, school, work, and everything else he has going on, he definitely seems to have mastered the art of always having something to do!

He’s independent, goal-oriented, personable, and determined when he sets his mind to something. He’s not afraid to follow his own path, and he has a great sense of humor and a genuinely considerate nature.

Sports are a big part of Nate’s life. He received the Eagle Spirit Award for his Cross Country season and the Coaches Award for Tennis. He has also competed successfully in numerous Pickleball tournaments and has participated in local Wolcott running races, earning both first- and second-place finishes.

And when he isn’t competing, you might find him listening to Twenty One Pilots or Tame Impala… or cheering on his Mets!

Next year, Nate has his sights set on college, where he hopes to study Finance, with an interest in possibly pursuing a path in Sports Analytics. He and his family spent part of the summer visiting schools in North and South Carolina, and he’s hoping to continue his education somewhere in that area. USC, UNC Charlotte, High Point, and Clemson are currently on his list!

And because apparently he needs one more thing to keep him busy, Nate would love to play club Pickleball in college, too.

For now, though, he’s enjoying his senior year and working as a summer camp counselor—another perfect fit for someone who clearly enjoys staying busy and connecting with people.

Nate, I had such a great time hanging out with you and capturing this exciting season of your life! I hope your senior year is everything you want it to be, and that the next chapter takes you exactly where you want to go.

Congratulations, Nate! Im sure its going to be a great year!
