Computers, Aerospace and Volleyball

Claire Krawiec is a very diverse young lady. Claire is an upcoming 2017 grad from Mullen High School where she has taken her interests to new exciting heights! Through athletics and computer sciences, she has continued developing her passions which will help carry her into the next stage of her life's adventures!

Claire enjoys playing volleyball but when she's not driving aces, she's deep into the computer as she loves coding! She's taken it a bit further though as she is on the Board of Directors for the Engineering Club! This is right in line with one of her career ambitions of possibly pursuing Computer Science. If this isn't the direction she decides to go, she has great interest is Aerospace Engineering. Who knows, she may do both! For Clare, the sky is the limit!

We are humbled to know you Claire, and we are very happy that you allowed us to be a part of your senior year by having your senior pictures taken at our studio! Good luck in your last year of high school and in the endeavours you continue to pursue in the future!

A Teacher Among Us?

In 2017, Regis will be sending off Clair D'Costa as a high school graduate. She not only is active in church but is an accomplished student-athlete through the National Honor Society and Cross Country track.

She leads a middle school youth group through her church which is something that can be quite challenging as a high school student yet rewarding in itself. She is truly a wonderful young lady and we are proud to know her.

Thank you, Claire, for allowing us to be your senior portrait photographer! We wish her all the best as she finishes up her last year of high school and we encourage her to follow her dreams of becoming a teacher. Her interests and her accomplishments thus far in her young life make us believe that she will continue to be an inspiration for young minds in the future!

Softball, Softball, Softball

Student Athletes are always fun and exciting for us to meet and photograph senior portraits of. Emily Womeldorff is certainly no exception!

Emily will be graduating from Heritage High School with her Class of 2017. She has accomplished a great deal thus far and has no interest in slowing down! She has been a softball pitcher for nine years now which has also included her three years in Varsity Softball. Not only will her senior year be her fourth year on varsity, she has been offered a scholarship from Lamar Community College to continue competing! This could be a great step in the right direction towards either a career in wildlife rehabilitation or in marine biology.

It was wonderful working with Emily on her senior portraits and we are so excited for her big year as a senior!

From the Outdoors to the Science Lab

Grandview High School will be seeing Colin Hice in their Class of 2017 graduates this spring. He is a young man who will achieve great things in his life with such incredible ambitions!

Who doesn't want a little extra security on their computers? Colin has an interest to help even though his career goals will take him into the exciting world of Bio-Medical Engineering!

Colin came to us for his senior portraits and we can't thank him enough for doing so! We are thrilled to know him and look forward to seeing what wonderful things he accomplishes in his future!

From Aerial Silks to the Bakery

Grace Dant has such diverse interests. We were blown away with some of the things she had to say about what she has done, what she does, and what she plans to do!

Grace will be graduating from Highlands Ranch High School with the Class of 2017. She has taken an interested in leadership through Student Senate but that's not the only place she shines, she also does aerial silks! All of this while being part of NHS. Grace doesn't have small dreams either. She hopes to follow her passion and talents of baking to someday own a bakery!

We are so happy to have been Grace Dant's senior portrait photography studio and we wish her all the luck in the world with her dreams and aspirations!

Hoops and Dreams

East High School has one heck of an outstanding student athlete moving into his senior year as an upcoming graduate for the class of 2017! Scotty Wiese came to us for his senior portraits and we are so happy that he did, giving us the opportunity to meet him! We learned a great deal about Scotty and were really impressed with his talents on the basketball court! California basketball camp MVP and varsity basketball star, Scotty shows us just how much and how long he has played the sport. He has some great goals for not only this upcoming year, but after graduation as well. He hopes to help take his team to the championships and naturally, wants to continue playing in college!

We wish you the best Scotty and thank you for letting us capture your senior portraits for you!

14er's, Marines... Nothing Is Too Much

Thor Knutson is a young man who has adventured a great deal in his young life. He enjoys climbing 14er's, rafting, fishing, and overall loves the outdoors. He is an athletic person who had stayed active through not only outdoor activities, but also high school football and track! Thor is an outstanding young man who has set the bar high for himself for his future as he has made plans to serve our great country in the United States Marine Corps.

We thank you Thor for allowing us the opportunity to photograph you for your high school senior portraits! We are proud to know you and we wish you all the best as you finish up your final high school days in your senior year and as you venture off into the military!

Brian Jennings came to us for his senior portraits as he is one of Grandview High Schools finest upcoming graduates! He has not only been successful in his education through the challenges of A.P. courses, he has also been the person everyone likes to be around! Brian has tremendous ambitions and nothing stands in his way. Whether he is taking on musical endeavours with the trumpet in the Grandview Marching Band, or if it's setting goals to become a success in the world of sports medicine, Brian is someone who will leave his mark wherever he goes!

Class of 2016 Artstrips are available!

When we look at our graduation, whether it long ago or yet to come, we seem to think of it differently. If it was a time years ago, we reminisce. But what of the thoughts of a graduation in the very near future? It's important to remember how special this time is in a young person's life but it's also important to find ways to keep this moment in time alive and fresh in our minds for the years ahead. These don't have to break the bank and they certainly don't need to something that won't be valued in the future. Sometimes, we can allow ourselves to do that one extra thing in a moment of time that we look back on and are extremely thankful that we 'indulged' just a bit.

The Class of 2016 is graduating in only a couple of months. Senior portraits have already been taken, plans for the future have already been set in motion as the last stretch in high school is coming to an end. This is a time of celebration in a young person's life and it is only that much more special when friends and family can enjoy the moment with the soon to be graduates. This time next year, the graduation from high school will seem like such a distant memory only because the next 12 months will be some of the most trying, and exciting times for young adults and their families. That doesn't mean that this moment should fade. This moment should be embraced and remembered so what better way than to do just that than with some of Senior Pix by Bettinger Photography's fun and unique mementos?!

We are happy to announce that we are offering our graduation artstrip for the Class of 2016! This is a unique and savvy way to keep this moment alive through the craft of photography. The artstrip comes framed and ready to hang on the wall, sit on the mantle or stand strong on your desk at work. We will use four pictures from your senior portrait session and will put them all together for this spectacular "collage style" memento!

Contact us today to inquire about the graduation artstrips that we offer. One of our very friendly and professional team members will be happy to speak with you about these fantastic treasures!

One way to help land that job you've been dreaming of!

Recently, Colorado's economy has grown so much that there are a lot of potential employment opportunities out there. Along with this comes great competition as a candidate. This is extremely frustrating and highly discouraging especially for professionals who may be switching careers or perhaps recent graduates looking to start their career. The Denver Post did a great article (www.denverpost.com/recommended/ci_13735365) that answered a lot of questions that often time we start inquiring about while on the hunt for that perfect position somewhere great.

"Why aren't I getting any responses from my resume"? "What can I do to stand out from the crowd?" "What are my chances of being hired for this position?" All of these are normal questions that most people start asking themselves. What's dangerous is when we start doubting our talents and abilities. This can come at different times for everyone and if you're lucky, then you may not have these questions come to mind. For those who aren't so lucky, it's really important to try starting out on the right path with the increasingly difficult fight to land the position you're going for. This can happen in several ways but the most important way is to stand out from the competition allowing the spotlight to shine on you and what your can offer the company you're applying for. Having a perfect resume isn't enough anymore. They simply get washed out in the hordes of seemingly endless emails that recruiters and hiring managers are sifting through. Cover letters are great but the same issue tends to happen with them as well; they seem to just blend in too much with the others. So what can you do?

Believe it or not, a lot of recruiters have taken the path of social media and are actively looking for the candidates that would best fit their needs for the company. Sites like LinkedIn are incredibly powerful platforms for professionals who are either actively seeking a position or looking to keep an online resume "live" to continuously build upon. This seems great right?! Well it is, but when searching for candidates, a recruiter is going to be drawn to profiles because they stand out. In today's day and age, our society is comprised of highly visual people, therefore having a professional business headshot will set you apart from the others. This isn't something that will land the position for you as your skills, abilities and training are often what influence a recruiter to reach out to a potential candidate. However, your image says A LOT about how you are. It speaks volumes towards character and professionalism. Having the right professional portrait, can be the tool you need to stand out! That's the goal. That should always be the goal when looking at the job front! 

Bettinger Photography is aways able to help with a high quality, professional photograph! Give us a call  so you can focus on the rest! You don't need to worry about grabbing attention on websites like LinkedIn as long as you have done your part and allowed us to do ours for you!
