The future looks bright!

My head is still groggy with sleep but my mind keeps returning to last nights photo shoot. I have been affected in ways I have yet to understand, I woke up taller and hopeful.

When Mikhail walked into my studio last week to meet me and discuss his upcoming senior session I was meeting a polite, handsome boy. Not unlike many of the seniors I meet. I don’t believe anything substantial has changed for him over the last week, but when I met him on the football field last night for his photo session, I meet a different person.
I have never been much of a football fan and I don’t believe it had anything to do with being at my own alma mater. Although the field looked greener than I remember (MP informed me that it is now turf, silly me), something was defiantly different… it seemed more alive, electric even.

It did not take me long to figure out that the energy was coming from Mikhail, he was more alive, he was electric, he was home were he is king. Being on his home field was where he shine and it came across in his images. His energy, a gift I am convience he got from his mother is contagious. Being with the family, this woman who is raising the next generation son, and daughter gave me hope. Our future truly is looking bright. And I am certain I was walking a little taller as I steped off the field last night.
