and now for something completely different | Central Illinois Lifestyle Photographer

November 01st, 2009 | Category: portrait

Ok, so everyone knows by now that I specialize in portraiture of children,  babies, and families of children and babies :)  Well,  I broke out of my comfort zone this weekend and had an amazing session with a senior!  His family are dear friends, and my hubby & I have had the privilege of being his youth leaders for the past 2 years.   We’ve watched him mature so much in his faith over the last year, and step up to become a true leader among his peers.  We are so proud of this young man {sniff} and I was honored to be asked to shoot his senior session.  It’s also no secret that our little girl has been seriously crushin on this guy for the past year+.  :)  We’re not even sure how/when it started, but she turns into a giggling, shy little girl whenever he comes around.  He’s such a good sport about it - as is his girlfriend ;)

I had so much fun running around downtown with this guy & his momma.  It was a chilly 40 degrees outside, but we had so much fun that we barely noticed (emphasis on barely). :)  Thanks for a rockin’ session, Grant!  I hope you’ll remember me when you’re a famous Hollister model someday ;)

Enjoy your sneak peek!

Senior pictures now? How about... mmm... seniors in college? Do you do those yet? 'Cause I know this girl at ISU... Heehee :-) (11/01/09, 2:35 am)
