Bella- MHS Senior Class of 2026

Bella… Monahans High School Senior

There are some sessions that just feel extra meaningful… and Bella’s was definitely one of them.

Bella is graduating from Monahans High School and has spent the last five years being involved in 4H… three years with Ward County and two years prior in Burnet County. It’s been such a big part of her life, and hearing her talk about it, you can tell it’s not just about the work… it’s about the memories, the friendships, and all the time spent traveling with her people. That’s her favorite part… being on the road with her friends and making those moments count.

One of my favorite things about Bella’s session was getting to step into her world a bit… meeting her animals, seeing what she’s poured her time into, and capturing the pieces of her life that really matter. Those are always the sessions that hit a little different.

We actually split her session into a two-day series so we could truly capture everything that represents her… and I’m so glad we did. From her 4H roots to the quieter, more personal moments, it gave us the space to tell her full story.

After graduation, Bella will be attending Odessa College where she’ll be working on her basics while also pursuing her associate’s degree in cosmetology. She’s still figuring out exactly what she wants to do long-term… and honestly, that’s such an exciting place to be. There’s something really special about standing right at the beginning with so many possibilities ahead.

Bella… it was such a joy getting to work with you. You’re kind, grounded, and full of quiet confidence… and I have no doubt you’re going to do amazing things, whatever path you choose.

So thankful I got to be a small part of this season for you.
