Just the One { my boy }

FINALLY.  His birthday was actually 37 days ago, but who’s counting?  First we waited for the braces to come off.  Then he was sick.  And the weather has been less than cooperative.  Hmpf.  Well, Monday it was beautiful, he was feeling mostly better, and I finished my afternoon session with enough light left for us to run out and give it a try.  Just a note:  if you have ever tried photographing your own 15 year old son in kind of a hurry before the sun sets, you might be in for an uphill battle….rest assured it is the best kind of battle that involves me laughing so hard that most of the photos are out of focus.  Ah well, as a mother I love those ones all the more.  But we all know I am after just one perfect image and a bunch of “personality” ones to show us a little about him….so here you go….

The perfect one:

 

Love this kid.  I’m pretty sure he is the most fantastic teenage man/boy you will ever meet.

He is kind and thoughtful, smart, athletic, funny, and slightly musically inclined.

 

Of course this one makes my heart happy too….

But for your Wednesday entertainment I give you ALL (not really ALL, just most) of the faces in a lovely slideshow.  See if you can find “grumpy cat”.  (speakers on please as there is music…of course…another original piece…LOVE.)
