{A Farm Senior Session}

When I met CJ for the first time, it was hard to miss his infectious smile! His ear to ear grin was so welcoming. We met at his grandpa’s farm where he showed me his favorite trucks that he has worked on and fixed up himself. Hearing him talk about each truck, I could tell they are a huge passion for him and it made sense that he wanted to focus his senior session around them. CJ’s mom was my cheerleading coach in high school so I was beyond thrilled when she contact me for his senior pictures. It was SO great to see her and catch up! Getting to know CJ a little, I could tell she did an amazing job raising such a kind, friendly, hardworking and knowledgeable kid!

CJ, a 2024 senior from Bishop Garrigan, loves working on trucks (obviously ), hanging with friends, mudding, 4 wheeling and sitting around a campfire. When he’s not working on vehicles with his friends, you can usually find him watching movies. His plan after high school is to attend Iowa Lakes Community College, possibly enrolling in the diesel mechanic program.

CJ – thank you so much for trusting me to capture or senior portraits! I love that you have found so much joy and passion in working on vehicles! Your determination is such a powerful force—it’s the driving engine that will propel you to achieve amazing things (see what I did there ). Life has a crazy way of unfolding itself, and every twist and turn adds to the richness of your story. Embrace it all, learn from the challenges and rejoice in the triumphs. I know your story will be one for the books!
