Senior Sunday

07 - July

John’s Senior photos arrived via an email link while I was sitting at the baseball field today and just in time for Senior Sunday! Tamara Dee Photography did such a great job, and the session yielded 203 edited photos.

We started in our backyard for some pictures with his trumpet.

Then, we made our way through downtown Columbia for the rest. I promised John that the session would take no more than 90 minutes and that he would have minimal clothing changes. I also promised that he could wear the hat that he loves and wears nearly every day for the end of the session. How could I not let him wear it? This photo is true John – shorts, active wear t-shirt, and hat.

I have so many favorites. He looks so handsome and grown up in the serious pictures.

I love his smile in this one. This is the real smile!

My overall favorite is this one. There is just something about that burnt orange shirt with the meters in the background.

I just love them all! Thanks for capturing these for us, Tamara!

Forgotten Glove

07 - July

John left his glove at home today because he had to condition it, and he did not put it back in his bag before he left Columbia for his game tonight in the St. Louis area. By the time he called me, I was already an hour away from our house and I could not go back to get it. I told him that this is what you get for not packing beforehand. Well, his coach lent him a first base glove, and he played that all night. He got lucky though because I assumed his coach would make him sit for forgetting his glove. You could tell in the phone call that John was really upset and freaking out about telling Logan. Maybe next time, he will actually listen and pack his bag well in advance of being picked up for a game…
