The reason it all began

Once upon a time this mother knew her first born son would one day be a Senior.  She also knew that she would be the one to take his Senior photo's.  She had her ideas and spoke them out loud to the husband and so it began.....
Now the time is here and he is a Senior.  So the mother took a few shots of him late this evening.


We, (the son &I), have been putting this off for a while.  I don't know why.  Dad has been busy building bridges, docks, "porches", finding old trucks like 'Mater and Maggie.  While we just put it off.  Maybe because we knew what it meant. 

These were just "round one".  We got started to late and lighting wasn't the best.  But I have to say, "be still my heart", when I look at them.

The time has come.  The invitations have been ordered.  Cap and gown? Yes it has been ordered too.  The picture to appear in the yearbook, you know the one with the tuxedo jacket? Yes, it has been done and ordered too. 


So when someone ask me how I got started in this, my reply is this,  It started as a hobby.  Taking pictures of my boys.  As they got older, I still tried to capture who they were and what they were into.  As this time was approaching my mind was busy planning and thinking out loud.   And as usual, as I thought out loud, D listened and took mental notes.  Hence the acreage and Ella B's. 
All because he was going to be a Senior one day.
