Whew! Finally!
I met up with Jake, his mom, and his adorable girlfriend, Jamie on Sunday night. It was CRAZY windy and on the verge of a major rainstorm (that never actually hit). I just kept thanking my lucky stars that I was hangin' with a guy since most of you gals out there would've canceled on me in a heartbeat. But, Jake, not so much. He was a great sport. I'm pretty sure his hair never moved while the rest of us could barely see around the wild hair we were sporting.
While shooting Jake's senior pics, his mom and I got to talking and discovered they only live a couple of miles down the road from ME! It's definitely a small world, especially when you figure we both drove about 25 minutes to Shawnee to get these cool shots!
At first, Jake was pretty low-key. He didn't say a whole lot and waited for me to tell him where to go and what to do. BUT, it didn't take long for the senior guy to come out! Pretty soon, he was totally working the camera and mouthing off to me all at the same time. I loved it! His gal was super cool, too!
So cool, in fact, that when I spotted this chair and told her to hop on for a shot she was willing to give it a go. After all, I couldn't make Jake straddle a chair like that!
Told ya she was super cute!
We all had a great time driving from spot to spot, hopping out of the truck, grabbing a few shots while avoiding traffic, then moving on to the next spot. Good job driving, Michelle!
And, by the way, how gorgeous is she!
You've got to respect a young guy who'll still hug on his momma in public!
On this shot, I couldn't decide whether I liked it better in color (above) or in black and white (below). What do you think?
And, of course, I can't leave a session this much fun without doing something like this...
Jamie, you ROCKED the jump shot! I had a great time you guys!
very earthy-- love it. My favorite is the one of him in the striped shirt towards the end, in front of that train thing. Great job!
