because he loves me...

at christmas time
one of my favorite gifts
from my favorite boy
was a handmade book of coupons
and
yesterday
I used the one that said
"good for a 2 hour practice shoot on me"
and
since he's going to be a senior next year
and
I plan on taking all his senior photos
and
hopefully some of his friends
too
and
since the morning sky was perfect

that's exactly what I did
~~
but
photo shoot or not
I had a blast with this
favorite boy
of
mine
*
{I got carried away on the softening program
when I was editing
and now some of my photos look blurry
arrghhh...I should have left well enough alone~I guess that's why he called it a practice shoot}

The 'softening' of these photos just goes to visually speak to the softening that happens to your eyes and heart when it comes to this Beloved boy.

Thank him for allowing us to share in your coupon redeeming!!!

Boy-men are such a joy! So happy you had this special day with him. Do you save the original version of your photos alongside the doctored versions? And is the original still on the digital card or did you delete?

Patti said...

What a sweetheart he is to do that!!! And of course you "softened" the pictures- like the soft spot becuase he's your son. Thanks for sharing this!

What a wonderful coupon!

I'm thinking your Jack and my Kevin could get into some SERIOUS SH** [but not nearly as much as you and me, Baby!].

I love the leaping out of the swing image; that's really what they're all about right now, isn't it?

what a nice gift your son gave you - 2 hours that was very generous - really.
he's a very handsome boy and you did a great job. i especially like the one where he's looking out at the water and the boat is in the distance.

Fabulous coupon! Now THAT's a thoughtful kid who knows his mom well. And a handsome one, too! That's a day you will never forget.
