Model Behavior in More Ways Than One!

Today turned out to be, as he phrased it, "Sam and Mom Day".  Sam's senior pictures were scheduled for this afternoon; instead of leaving work early, I decided to take it as a vacation day.  Sam and I spent our morning watching "Django Unchained" which was both disturbing and a great piece of film.  I'm never disappointed when I watch a Quentin Tarantino movie!

After getting cleaned up, we stopped by the store to pick up a couple of items for Sam's photo shoot.  We then stopped by the nearest Chinese restaurant to break bread, or rather rice, before returning home.  Now that he is 18, Sam enjoyed purchasing his first stack of pull tabs.  Alas, Lady Luck was not with him and he only had a $1.50 return on his $10 purchase.

At home, I ironed two shirts for the young man while Jordan helped him pick out his photo clothes.  We then all piled into the car and met up with Joanna, the same photographer who took Jordan's pictures a year ago.

Shirt and tie at the high school then we made our way over to downtown, which is rich in funky backgrounds.  More pictures with the tie then Sam made his way to his dressing room i.e., the car, to change into casual clothes.  We wandered around the roads looking for unusual nooks and crannies to give Sam's pictures a unique touch.  His last change was into shorts and a flannel shirt; shortly thereafter the photo event was done.  I'm so excited to see the pictures after Joanna's editing, which should happen within the next two weeks.

Joanna said more than once that it was nice to see two brothers get along so well.  In addition, they were very polite and were extremely easy to direct plus they brought a lot of enthusiasm to the pictures.  It's nice to hear those comments and made me proud.

Here's a preview of Sam's pictures with Joanna in action...along with Jordan popping in as well.
