Dorothy | Pine Creek High School Senior Portraits | Class of 2026

Dorothy is a creative, articulate senior with impressive skills in magic tricks and juggling. Jon had such a fun time creating the images that showcase these talents. Her love of entertaining extends to performing in theater productions. She is an avid reader, and her creativity extends to writing where genres of fantasy and dystopian stories are favorites. As if this wasn’t an already-impressive list of talents and giftings, Dorothy has also excelled in taekwondo where she holds her 1st degree black belt.

Academically, she loves math and science classes best, and those interests pair well with her plans to pursue pre-med studies in college come fall. She plans to enter college holding her EMT certification which will give her a solid foundation of medical knowledge on which to built on through that degree!

The indoor studio was the perfect setting to create Dorothy’s senior portraits to celebrate her and all her accomplishments, interests, and talents. Enjoy our favorites here!

Gabrielle | Destination: Colorado Springs High School Senior Portraits | Class of 2026

Gabrielle is an amazing young woman, poised to be a powerful force for compassion, leadership, and service in the world as she launches from high school into college studies in pre-med this fall.

In her Dallas-area high school, she has developed her servant leadership through serving as an Ambassador for her private school in the admissions department where she helps new and incoming students find their place in their new school environment, both academically and socially. Her excellence academically has been rewarded in her invitations to be part of the National Honor Society, Spanish National Honor Society, Art National Honor Society, and Science National Honor Society. Outside of her school, she continues to be active in Girl Scouts and spends time with elderly care visits at nursing homes.

Gabrielle also excels athletically. She completed in soccer from her youth through 8th grade, and when high school began, her love for volleyball became her focus competitively. She stayed connected to soccer through managing the high school team. Volleyball fills much of her time as she competes on her travel club team and may continue with collegiate level competition. Her studio session was the perfect setting to showcase her many accolades athletically!

Creating senior portraits for Gabrielle was such an honor. Her mom is one of Lindsay’s closest friends from college, and they traveled from the Dallas area to Colorado Springs for senior portraits that capture the beauty of the mountains. We recognize the high compliment when friends choose to become clients…and even more so when they have traveled from out of state to do so! And we certainly loved soaking up time with them on their visits!!

Gabrielle’s mom did some fun “behind-the-scenes” pictures during the experience of creating both her studio and outdoors sessions, so enjoy seeing the scene next to the finished portraits. We trust these portraits are a perfect blend of celebrating all of Gabrielle’s accomplishments, her sparkling personality, and the beauty of Colorado. Her outdoor session held some initial light rain that quickly cleared with a rainbow and provided a rich saturation of color across the rocks and amazing texture to the mountains. She showed an adventurous spirit to get to some of her portrait spots for those grand views and incredible rock formations. Enjoy a handful of favorites from her session presented below!

We are so proud to be part of the celebration and can’t wait to see everywhere your next steps lead you!

Gavin | Pine Creek High School Senior Portraits | Class of 2026

Gavin’s life experiences and interests have provided him with a great foundation for when he takes his next steps into young adulthood after completing his final semester at Pine Creek High School. While he shares that common love of many senior guys for video gaming, his interests beyond the expected are vast. In the outdoors, you’ll find him fishing, hunting, and snowboarding; he’s also interested in crazy weather and storms. Aside from those, he loves thrifting and is an accomplished musician and in a band where his guitar and drumming skills shine. His family serves our military, and he’s loved living all over, including time in Japan.

For his senior portraits, Gavin’s interests paired well for combining a studio session with an outdoor session, and we’re excited to share favorites from both settings.

As he wraps up high school, Gavin’s potential career pursuits include meteorology and storm chasing. Congrats, Gavin, on your upcoming graduation! We wish you the best in all your next steps!

Damien | Air Academy High School Senior Portraits | Class of 2026

Damien enjoys gaming and hanging out with his beagle/bulldog mix dog as well as getting into the Colorado landscapes on hiking trails. With that mix of indoor and outdoor activities, his senior portraits also reflected a balance of both indoor studio and outdoor photography. Having spent lots of his life in the Midwest, his family leaned into the outdoor setting of Garden of the Gods for all the mountain views and rock formations iconic to our area. The balance of simplicity and timelessness of studio portraits and awesome natural settings in the outdoor portraits gave his family great variety to enjoy for their albums and prints.

As Damien wraps up his final semester of high school, he’s planning to begin college studies with an emphasis on engineering. We wish him our best!
