I'm so glad I got to take Justin's senior portraits! We first met a couple of years ago when I did a session with his whole family, but this time we got to focus on just him.


The Master Gardener's Center just seems to bring out the best in every subject, and Justin was no exception. I love this old barn and would do every shoot there if I could get away with it.


We also wandered around and found some purple flowers blooming. Hey -- they match Justin's AHS class ring!


Justin's friendly smile never wavered, not even when I insisted that the frog bench must be in a few shots. Hey -- those smiles sort of match!


Is it just me or does Justin rock the manly arms-crossed pose?


Up until this point, Justin had pleasantly done pretty well whatever I asked him to do for the camera. But when I showed him how handsome he looked in this shot, he suddenly lit up and became SuperJustin!


Off to the train tracks we marched, a new purpose in Justin's step. We had fun playing with the light of the setting sun to get a cool burst of colors.


We risked our lives sitting on the tracks, hoping that we'd hear a train in plenty of time to scuttle into the grass.


And for our grand finale, Justin struck a series of poses of his own choosing. Only a couple of cars had to wait for the performance to end so they could cross the tracks.


What a star you are, Justin!
On your feet now -- applaud God!
Bring a gift of laughter, sing yourselves into His presence.
Know this: God is God.
He made us; we didn't make Him.
We're His people, His well-tended sheep.
Enter with the password: "Thank You!"
Makes yourselves at home, talking praise.
Thank Him. Worship Him.
For God is sheer beauty,
all-generous in love,
loyal always and ever.
Psalm 100 MESSAGE
