Hello Beautiful!  Introducing the loveable, Class of 2019 senior from Prairie Central High School… Mallory Bahler!!

Not sure where Prairie Central HS is?  It’s in the charming little town of Fairbury and I LOVED it!!   This was one of my very favorite sessions because it was so personal to Mallory.   We captured her on the farm with her horses, donkeys (Millie and Tillie) her dog and she even had a rabbit!   We also went on site to her dad’s small business, Bahler Trucking and it was the first time ever that I saw the inside of a semi truck! (I wanted to be a semi-truck driver when I was a little girl, so I was thrilled, LOL!)

Mallory would describe herself as outgoing and positive individual who loves animals.   So much that she wants to go to college after high school and major in science.   She is a very busy girl and participates in band and volleyball. Mrs. Getchius is one of her favorite teachers and her favorite class is science because “I  can apply what I learn in Science class out in the real world.”  She loves to go to any and all sporting events because of the fun environment and the event she most looks forward to this year is graduation!   During Mallory’s free time, she enjoys riding her horses and playing with her dog.  She would describe her “perfect day” and spending the entire day with all kinds of dogs!  As far as advice to incoming freshman, “try your best in every class.”
