SENIOR: Josh

It's SENIOR WEEK here with CT PhotoMemories...

HUH?  What does that mean?

It means that I've chosen this week to showcase some of my incredible Seniors from 2015 sessions everyday this week...

They graduate in just a few short months...

They are making decisions now that will impact them heavily in their futures to come...

The hours, moneys, and relationships that have been poured into them all culminate to THIS moment...this step into the journey of independent adulthood...

Josh has a family that loves him, has supported him, has invested time & energy into him...and now he is on the precipice as the future is set before him...

I remember our session time together...Moms tend to like to come along for these sessions and I've got to tell you that I love to watch mothers & sons interact...

I don't know how one quite reconciles the fact that their baby boy has grown into a man...

I think it's different with a daughter...there is an ebb and flow and it feels "natural" persay...mother & daughter...

but a son...

This baby boy that you read to and got down out of trees...that you carried in your arms and stepped on legos for...

this "boy" now towers over you...he is learning to make decisions without you and becoming a leader in his own right...

when did that happen???

On the average, most guys aren't "into" senior sessions all that much...but, what a sweet gesture as they wear the outfits that mom suggests and smile and laugh and give the gift of "time"...

up to 2 full hours of one on one....uninteruppted...focused just on him, but mom right there with input and smiles and jokes and the extra pair of shoes if need be...

I thoroughly enjoyed our time together and the opportunity to showcase the season that Josh is in...I'm sure there are aspects that will change as choices are made and pathways are taken...it's what makes life unique and worthwhile...

but, in this moment now...this is who he has become...and I'm confident he does his family proud!
