Not just a Cameo appearance...

Friday afternoon allowed me the opportunity to photograph, not only what will most likely be our last senior of the calendar year, 2010, but also my first cameo appearance.

Make that a Cameo appearance.

With a capital C.

In what was part "yearbook panic" part listening to her buddy, Miss Parker made it our way and even though we had sub-freezing temps, we weren't gonna let her down.

Cameo had let me know that she came our way due to listening to co-worker, Taylor Harre. Taylor and her sweet sideways hat saw us LAST year in the fall, and not only can both girls make a mean Dairy Queen Blizzard... but they were both fun to photograph. :)

My dream shot of getting a DQ employee to bring in their work uniform and a Blizzard that we could turn upside down and stick it out at the camera, in the same fashion that our football players do in a menacing way, once again failed to materialize... but we did get some fun stuff anyway.

In perhaps her most unique image, Cameo had brought in a ton of beaded necklaces that her grandmother had use to wear... check that out! Taylor had mentioned that Cameo was "such a colorful person." Glad we could bring that out in her.

As a capper for the day, we did get outside at the very end. The girls had mentioned that that she wanted "one in the snow." So... by my way of thinking... she needed to be IN the snow! :)

With a little resistance... Taylor and I convinced Cameo to sit down in it for a couple... and rumors of her demise are greatly exaggerated.

Barring some last minute change, this will most likely be our last senior of 2010. It's been a wild ride... I'm sure they'll be a few more 2011 seniors to do in the coming months prior to graduation, but the end of the year is always a good time to look back a bit and reflect.

Thanks for all the thrills this year, everyone! And if I don't get back to ya before then, Merry Christmas to all!!!
