My son is a senior in high school.
My baby is a senior.
That sweet little chubby-cheeked cherub — so fat he could not even lift himself to crawl — is now six feet tall and employed. And graduating from high school in just a few short months.
Our plan has been for me to do his senior portraits but finding the time has been a challenge. He and his brother are home today, thanks to a teacher workday, so I chased him out of bed this morning so we could take pictures. 
Poor, sleepy baby! LOL! We had a lot of fun with the picture taking, although there was a great deal of good-natured teasing on both ends. And some whining (that came from one person only, whose shall remain nameless but he is male and his name rhymes with Poshua). I’d hoped to get about 10 really good shots and ended up with closer to 40. A few of my favorites:

Great pictures! I’m so happy there are people out there taking senior pictures, happy that it’s taken out of the studio. The pictures seem to end up so awesome.

He is so handsome and you must be so proud! I am so glad you got so many wonderful shots!

Great shots. If you ever get bored with sewing, you could definitely make big bucks doing senior pictures for other families.

Those are fantastic photos. I hope I can get my sweet, formerly watermelon-headed nephew who is also a senior this year, in some photos as good as these. It still blows my mind how quickly they grow up.

Great photos Mary! He’s a doll! I can’t even imagine thinking about senior pictures right now. I just want to get the last one out of diapers and for them all to be a little less “needy”. But I am sure time will fly, at least that’s what everyone tells me, and mine will be all grown up before I know it.

What a handsome young man! You took some great pictures, my favorite is the one in front of the brick wall. My baby boy is a senior next year. Unfortunately, HE is the photographer in the family, so I’m not sure how we are going to get his pictures done!
