Ceidric | Box Canyon College Senior Pictures | Socorro, New Mexico

Seniors

March 13, 2019

When I asked Ceidric where he wanted to take his senior pictures, right away he responded with Box Canyon in Socorro, New Mexico. Honestly, I don’t blame him. Box (as people in the area call Box Canyon) has quickly become one of my favorite places! I was SO excited to take Ceidric’s pictures there.

Box Canyon is a pretty popular spot for rock climbing and bouldering. Ceidric has spent countless hours bouldering in Box. When I asked him about his hobby he said,

“I am pretty outdoorsy. I have a huge appreciation for the New Mexico landscape especially, because everything is so massive and grand! I really like to “hang out with God” in the outdoors. I also generally like to hang out with and meet new people, so climbing has been a very good sport to accommodate both of these things!”

I have had the chance to get to know Ceidric through a club at New Mexico Tech called InterVarsity. Ceidric is one of those people who lights up a room when he walks into it. He is one of the kindest and most joyful people I know. He has the kind of laugh that you can instantly identify no matter where he is in the room. Its loud and uniquely his. It’s wonderful!

This May, Ceidric is graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Civil Engineering with a minor in Mathematics from New Mexico Tech. He has committed to a one year-internship with InterVarsity as a Christian campus minister at Fort Lewis College in Durango, CO. Through this internship, he will learn how to combine his native culture with his ministry work. Ceidric hopes to take the skills he learns through InterVarsity and use them as he later pursues work as a civil engineer designing infrastructure for tribal lands.

All in all, Ceidric has been a great friend and fantastic leader to serve alongside through InterVarsity. And I LOVED having the chance to take his senior pictures at Box Canyon. Anyways, I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I do!
