Brandon: Class of 2011

Meet Brandon: Senior Class of 2011 for Mulberry Grove High School. You know how you have moments where you feel really old? Usually it's when a student says something you've never heard before, they're wearing the newest fad that you don't know about, or they're singing the lines to a pop song that you didn't hear on the adult top 40? (this happens all too often. Photographing Brandon made me feel a bit old, but this time it was because the last time I saw Brandon he was half my height, running around in cowboy boots, playing tag with all the kids from school at the Mulberry Grove fireman's picnic. Fast forward a few years and I doubt he still plays tag, but he's still got some boots! What a handsome young man he is becoming.

When I talked to Brandon about specifics about his session he only mentioned his saddle that he proudly possesses. I'm rodeo-ignorant but after talking a little bit with Brandon and his mom, I had a rodeo crash course I walked away a little more educated about rodeos. Brandon is the Illinois State Champion. Quite an achievement! He's traveled across the country competing.

I think Brandon could be an Abercrombie model in these pictures.

Loving this little smirk Brandon gave me.

I don't get a chance to do it very often but I LOVE flare! I haven't quite mastered it just yet but I'll get there someday.
