this is the moment Ben asked, “People really pay you for this mom? And they like having their picture taken?”
wet, slightly grumpy– he still looks good to me.

I got a LOT of yawning shots.
we liked that the windows matched his shirt
And tonight I’ll snap a few in his cap and gown. Joyous, beautiful Graduation Day!
p.s. We listened to ‘The General’ by Dispatch over and over all the way there and home. Go take a listen. It’s a fitting song for a boy at the brink of manhood.

Love these but especially the ones in the blue checked shirt. So fantastic…
Selwyn
You have such a lot on at the moment!
Congrats to Ben!
I doubt you ever take an average photo…
Cath
The yawning shots say so much! He’s a handsome boy. Congrats! And where do you find all those cool locale for shots?
Denise
Ben looks like your mom when she was younger, which is little funny since I think you look more like your dad. Especially through the eyes — he looks like the young Zoe.
Tracy
Congrats Ben! Thank you for letting your mom take some awesome photos of you!

P.S. You have great hair! I am jealous. 😉

What a handsome kid!
BTW, I just have to say, I love you. Your energy spills over through your writing. I have very little time to follow anyone’s blog let alone keep up on my own but I have to say yours is one that nurtures my spirit every time I peek in. Thank you for your example and your love of life and for your generous offering to a stranger friend in Austin Texas.
🙂

A soon to be 1st grader and a high school graduate…where has the time gone???
I love the first picture the best. What a handsome young man. I think he looks a lot like Erik. Studly in every way.
