It’s 2012…I can’t believe it. I remember when Christopher was little, I would count the grades to figure out what year he would graduate from high school. It seemed so far away. Here it is…THAT year. The year my baby graduates from high school. It’s not just my baby graduating. It’s all of his friends. Some of these friends have become a part of our family. We have taken them on trips, helped them through situations, and celebrated their successes. Kyle is one of those friends.
We did several sessions with Kyle. The first session involved his football game. I snapped away as number 56 (Kyle’s number) dusted the field with his cleats and skill! For the other sessions, Kyle was ready to roll. By ready to roll, I mean he had a trailer filled with
a lawn mower (yes, I said a lawn mower), golf cart, scout gear, and of course…HIS TRUCK!
Kyle’s Mom had told me she had a vision for his pictures. The vision involved a barn. She described the barn in detail as I painted the image in my head. As always (before my session), I went traipsin down the roads…looking for THAT barn. I saw a whole lot of barns, but not THE barn. Then, Lo and behold, I found it. The barn was perfect. Full of character and life, holding stories and treasures from many years of hard work and use. Kyle’s eyes stood wide open when he set his eyes upon the barn. “Oh my goodness this is exactly what mom was looking for!” he exclaimed. In my head, I thought I know Kyle…because I know YOU.
As images filled my camera, I said a little prayer. I want all of the best for this kid. I want his dreams to come true. He will never know how much joy he has brought our family!
