It was written all over his face when he walked in...
Slouched in the leather chair out front... 8 a.m.... it was SUPPOSED to be his day off from school.
I have NO doubt he'd rather have been sleepin' in.
But, as it were, his mother and I had schemed to ruin his day off, and make him (*gasp*) take his senior images.
:)
Cody really wasn't that different than a lot of guy. Probably not their absolute favorite thing to do... especially early in the morning... especially on a day that he penciled in for a day to sleep until noon. But he was here... so was Mama Penny... and I told him this...
"I'll try to minimize your torture.
I can't be for sure... but I think he WANTED to crack a smile... maybe on the inside, anyway.
There were no smiles forthcoming on the outside, however, but that's ok. He wanted that edgy look and that's what I tried to get him.
The session was quick by our standards... but I did take him on the road a bit to make sure he got something different than his brother that we had photographed just a few years prior.
I've joked for years that if I can get the senior guy to leave and tell mom on the way home that "it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be," then I've done my job.
I'm not sure whether that happened in this case, but maybe after seeing his images... he'll think it was worth it in the end.
