Tija Allen
Laramie, Wyoming | Senior
When you are in the presence of Tija, you realize the energy and creativity she brings with her. Everything is a wonderful possibility. I am so incredibly blessed to do what I love and am passionate about everyday. And I absolutely LOVE creating amazing portraits of graduating high school seniors. These kids are incredible people. And I cherish getting to know them and capturing their spirit in a one of a kind portrait their friends and family can cherish always. Tija’s family and friends love and care about her dearly and it only takes minutes with her to know why. Her smile is honest and warm.
This summer goes down in the record books as being the most incredible summer we have had in my four decades of existence here in Wyoming. And Tija’s summer senior session was definitely one to go down in the record books. I met Tija and her mom years before through the Laramie Dance Center where I take dance pictures. But this summer I truly got to know Tija when I took her senior portraits in June. It was then that I realized what a nature lover and talented violinist she is. With this in mind it was no surprise when Tija wanted to have portraits taken in Vedauwoo and in the studio with her violin. We had so much fun that day, going on portrait adventures and exploring for unique locations that would show the true personality of Tija.
