Because our time and attention was rightly with Tyler through his journey, our blog has been quite quiet. \u00a0We&#8217;ll begin to share sessions again, beginning with Megan.<\/p>\n<p>Megan&#8217;s is a special session. We believe God creates divine intersections between families, and this family intersected with our family this summer and shares a closeness through shared journeys. \u00a0Years ago, they journeyed with their oldest daughter, Melody, as she battled cancer. \u00a0Like Tyler, against what we humanly pray for, her healing too was given perfectly in heaven. When we met Megan&#8217;s family, Tyler was in the midst of his second treatment plan. \u00a0We connected quickly in a deep way from the shared journeys we have walked. \u00a0One of the sweetest aspects we love in our business is the relationships we build with our client families. We&#8217;re invited to capture incredibly important and special milestones and a part of us too is shared in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Photographing Megan&#8217;s senior portraits has been such an honor. Megan dreams big and has a heart to love and serve those around her. \u00a0Faith, family, and service are important to her. \u00a0She&#8217;s active in ROTC and volunteered with the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo for 5 years. \u00a0She aspires to study psychology and counseling hoping to address healing from PTSD when her career begins.<\/p>\n<p>She chose our Senior Experience, multi-hour, multi-location session and matched well with Cheyenne Ca\u00f1on, Mesa Overlook, and the Air Force Academy. \u00a0Favorites from her session are shared below.<\/p>\n<p>Megan, congratulations to you for all of your hard work, accomplishments, and upcoming graduation from Air Academy High School. \u00a0You have a beautiful heart and wonderful dreams for your future. \u00a0We know your parents are so proud, and we pray you know that Melody is <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">so<\/span> very proud of you!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6765\" src=\"http:\/\/jonathanbetzphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Jonathan-Betz-Photography-High-School-Senior-Photographer-Colorado-springs.jpg\" alt=\"jonathan-betz-photography-high-school-senior-photographer-colorado-springs\" width=\"900\" height=\"4971\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jonathanbetz.com\">Jonathan Betz Photography &#8211; High School Senior Portraits Photographer in Colorado Springs<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pp-fb-like-btn-wrap\"><div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"https:\/\/jonathanbetzphotography.com\/blog\/2016\/12\/29\/megan-air-academy-high-school-senior-portraits-class-of-2017\/\" data-share=\"false\" data-layout=\"standard\" data-width=\"450\" data-show-faces=\"\" data-action=\"recommend\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our past year has held the hardest days our family has walked. \u00a0Our business reached it&#8217;s 10th anniversary in October, yet that was significantly overshadowed by our son, Tyler, receiving his perfect and forever healing from cancer in heaven. \u00a0We prayed for a healing here so that he would still be with us now, yet [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[48,91,317,209,60,490,37,206,64,153,159,97,8,12,246,237,489],"class_list":["post-6764","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-high-school-seniors","tag-air-academy-high-school","tag-air-force-academy","tag-bridges","tag-cheyenne-canon","tag-cheyenne-canyon","tag-classic-cars","tag-colorado-springs-photographer","tag-colorado-springs-photography","tag-garden-of-the-gods","tag-graduation-pictures","tag-high-school-graduation-photos","tag-high-school-senior-pictures","tag-high-school-senior-portraits","tag-jonathan-betz-photography","tag-professional-photographer","tag-professional-photography","tag-streams-and-rivers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jonathanbetzphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6764","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jonathanbetzphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jonathanbetzphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jonathanbetzphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jonathanbetzphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6764"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/jonathanbetzphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6764\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6766,"href":"https:\/\/jonathanbetzphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6764\/revisions\/6766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jonathanbetzphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jonathanbetzphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6764"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jonathanbetzphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
