CHP Seniors: Sydney, CHS class of 2018

Carrie Harris August 11, 2017

It's time to start sharing the senior portraits from the class of 2018! As much as I hate summer ending and the kids going back to school, there's something exciting about working with a fresh group of seniors, all excited and ready for the journey that stands before them! 

I first met Sydney when she attended my Senior Portrait Open House back in January. (Heads up Class of 2019...your turn is coming in January, 2018!) She was my first attendee so I was lucky enough to be able to spend some time visiting with her. It wasn't until her mom came in a bit later that I realized I knew exactly who Sydney was...her mom and I tumbled together on the Sportabouts team a billion years ago!

While most seniors want their portraits done during the fall, Sydney knew she wanted a summer session in a field with wildflowers. So, a friend was kind enough to let us use the field right in front of her house and it couldn't have been more perfect!

We marched all over the place. Through the tall grass and the wildflowers, on gravel roads, and near the corn. We got some puzzling looks from a neighbor working on his mailbox, but whatever...we just did our own thing! 

Sydney said she was a bit nervous when we started her session, but it certainly doesn't show in any of these stunning images. I wore her down and by the end, she was much more at ease. It was a gorgeous evening and we had a great time!

Thank you Sydney and Sasha for making the drive out into the country and spending some time with us! Now, go have a GREAT senior year!!

I want you to be safe! I’ve spoken to quite a few of you who planned to attend. If your plans have changed, please send me a text or a message. If need be, I’ll schedule a second evening soon. Enjoy your day off of school, tomorrow!

So, since #fridayintroductions is a thing, I’ll share a couple things about me that not everyone knows. ❤️ I’m a total book nerd and have no preference between book and kindle. ❤️ I have a Funko Pop collection that’s getting a bit out of hand. ❤️ I’m in the process of getting rid of everything that doesn’t spark joy. It’s going to be a big job. ❤️ My favorite Jelly Belly is peach. ❤️ I’m possibly the most scatterbrained person you’ll ever meet. ❤️ Have a great weekend, everyone!

So, today was our day for The Middle School Sessions. Every time I work with kids of this age, I can’t wait to do it again. ❤️
Middle school is such a wonderful, awful, exciting, boring time. It’s all things and all feelings wrapped up into three short years that lead you to high school when things get real. It’s the last years of just going to school as opposed to planning for your future. ❤️
I wanted to celebrate these middle schoolers for who they are and where they are right now on their journey to adulthood. During The Middle School Sessions, we listen as they talk about kid things like their pets and as they explain things that we adults totally don’t get. But we also listen as they talk about their passions and the plans they have for the next few years. ❤️
Middle school sometimes gets a bad rap. Occasionally, it’s deserved, sometimes it’s not. But it’s also a time of great change and development that’s fun to watch from behind my camera and away from it as well. ❤️
The Middle School Sessions will return: February, 2020. •
