Look at these smiling faces! Mercedes sister came along so we had to take a couple photos of them together!

Mercedes plans on attending college after high school. She is going to Potomac State College to study pre-veterinary medicine! She has wanted to be a veterinarian since she was five years old, and I find it amazing that through all the years, that hasn’t changed.

Don’t let anyone or anything hold you back!

Her parents call her Cede and one of their favorite memories of her is when she was 18 months old. Mercede’s grandfather always wore glasses and he constantly told her “Hold on, I can’t see without my glasses.” One day her grandfather asked her a question and she said “Hold on, Pappy, I can’t see without my glasses.” Even though she never wore glasses! How adorable is that?!

Mercedes enjoyed having her senior portrait session done with KMP. I love when my clients feel at ease and comfortable with me, and I certainly enjoy making them laugh and smile! If you’re looking for a senior portrait photographer in Cumberland, Maryland, send me a message today!

When Emily wanted to incorporate her hedgehog and horse into her senior portraits, I knew that this session was going to be magical. We managed to have a perfect day with a perfect sunset and I’m excited with how her session turned out! We began Emily’s senior photos at this sweet little pond.

Emily currently attends Allegany High School, but after she graduates, she is planning on attending her first choice college, NC State; and in case you hadn’t figured it out by her love for her horse and hedgehog, Emily intends on studying animal science.

It’s no surprise that when Emily was five years old, she wanted to be a veterinarian when she grew up. She certainly has the heart and warmth for the job, that’s for sure!

I had an incredible time being able to capture Emily with her horse while the sun was setting. That orange glow was just the icing on the cake. Not only was that my favorite part of the session, but it was Emily’s too!

Not only does she love riding her horse, reading, art, and taking care of her animals, she loves skateboarding, exercising, puzzles and plants, too. Emily is also in several clubs at Allegany like the Rotary Club, the Art Club, and the National Honor Society. Her interests don’t stop there though! She is a lifeguard at Rocky Gap and she participated in a nature conservation internship.

Emily is certainly on her way to do amazing things at NC State, and I am excited to see all that she accomplishes.

Getting to know Jordan was an absolute treat. I learned that when she was five years old, all she wanted to be was a movie star. She certainly has the look, don’t you think?
