The Mustangs of Mount View Middle School and High School in Thorndike, Maine, brought fantastic energy for their winter sports picture day. The Mount View complex, which was replaced by a new facility in 2009, provided a wonderful, modern backdrop for the day. Our team was immediately met with a sense of excitement and school spirit that set a fantastic tone. The flow for the shoot was great, and the atmosphere was electric as nearly 112 athletes came through for their portraits.
Celebrating the Mustangs
What made this day truly special was the incredible collaboration and positivity from the entire Mount View community. The staff totally stood out, with everyone being super friendly and supportive of the day's operations. This commitment to their core values of respect, kindness, and responsibility made our job smooth and enjoyable.
The athletes themselves were a major highlight. We saw enthusiastic teams from Basketball, Cheer, and Wrestling, each group bringing a distinct, positive vibe. The high energy was undeniable. One of the best moments was seeing the middle school girls cheering each other on as they posed, capturing a true spirit of teamwork. The wrestling team also showed great leadership and camaraderie, having fun while still giving each other tips on what poses looked best.

The scale of support for winter sports at Mount View High School and Middle School is truly impressive. We loved the fun banter among the boys' basketball teams and appreciated the friendly enthusiasm from the middle school girls' coach, who was a hoot and wanted to get involved with the photos. From the moment they stepped up until the last flash fired, the day was truly uplifting, energetic, and positive.
Thank you to the entire staff, the dedicated coaches, and all the phenomenal student-athletes at Mount View High School for welcoming 207 Photo to Thorndike. It was a day that perfectly showcased the spirit of the Mustangs, and we can’t wait to see these amazing portraits in the hands of the families and friends who support them.
