My 1st official senior shoot.....

What an absolutely great way to kick off my 1st senior shoot (that's right, my sister's pictures don't count since she was 22). His mom was actually one of my work studies a few years ago so it was a huge honor that she asked me to take her son's pictures. And of course, it was nice that my first senior session was with someone that I had met before. That helped control the nerves a little (although not completedly). We had a great time, and considering how shy he is and how he doesn't like taking pictures (must be a guy thing), he was willing to walk around and pose for the camera all during a HUGE college wide BBQ that was going on all around us. There were people everywhere and of course, the occassional stare. What a trooper.....

We're planning to do another session as well when the leaves start to fall. I can't wait. But now I really need to start scouting another location, one of my biggest obstacles.

Meet Paul!!
