My Shane

I think we all have at least one person in our lives that makes us feel our age. (a.k.a OLD :) ) This is my person. I was 12ish when he was born, and as our parents are very good friends, my brother and I spent a lot of time with him and his big sis. My mom even babysat for him for a time. He was my living baby doll. I got to dress him up, carry him around and just loved him to bits. Well, gulp, he's graduating. Being the typical senior guy, he waited until the last possible second to get dragged in by his mom to get his senior portraits done. His one little problem was that I knew I could do absolutely anything I wanted with him and he couldn't tell me no. ;) I intended to drag him out in the snow this past winter, but much to my dismay, we really never had a snowfall stick long enough to arrange it. Soooo, I put him in the river. Ha Ha! Cough cough! It was cold. It was raining. It was nasty. And, yes, I took the poor guy (tux and all) and put him in the Patuxent River. I don't expect him to be referring me to any of his friends. :)

Anyway, enough babbling from me.

Here is my Shane:

I have better shots of him in the river, but thought I'd share this one showing the rain and misery. :)

Congratulations Shane!! Smooch!

One of my last of the Class of '08

I have one more senior session to proof and then that's it for the Class of 2008. Just in time for my phone to start ringing with requests from the Class of '09. :) Anyway, I can not tell you how much I loved proofing this session! First off, it was for a senior GUY! I think I have one guy for every 10-15 senior girls, so it is always fun to get them in front of my camera. Secondly, he and his family were just so nice to work with. I'm thinking about hiring his little brother as an assistant. He kept his big bro laughing the entire time. And lastly, well, just look at him! I hope I don't break any teenage hearts by posting these here. Oops! I hope I'm not embarassing him. ;) I'll shut up now.
