Let me begin by saying that this is a very special blog post today..... I get to work with amazing people every week, but this particular photo shoot was especially meaningful to me. I have known Griffon since he was 7 years old....and now...he is a 17 year old young man heading in to his senior year of high school.
Griffon and I have a great history....just ask him who his "#1 girlfriend" was and who he wanted to marry back when he was 7, 8 and 9 years old.... yes...that would be me. Of course, once he hit his early teens, I was quickly dropped for other, younger ladies :) (rightfully so, I might add) I have had the privilege of watching Griffon grow from a young boy into an outstanding young man....and I couldn't be more proud of who he has become.
Each summer, Grif travels from Orlando, FL to a small town in Southern Illinois to spend time with his grandparents on their farm. This has always been very meaningful to him, so I thought it was only fitting to do his senior photoshoot at Butler Farms - the place where he did a lot of growing up over the years. I love that when he looks back at these photos, they will hopefully mean more to him because of where they were taken...special memories, for sure. I love the black and white image of Grif with his parents....they are walking down Griffon's favorite area of the farm...."Logging Road"....
Griffon - enjoy your senior year of high school...thanks for letting me be a part of your "growing up years" and I look forward to what the future holds for you.... and thanks for the photo on the 4-wheeler!!
Me and Grif at the end of our shoot.....
