A double-dose of T-Buck...

It's not uncommon when we get to late October... you've seen this movie before.

Cold, rainy... windy.... greyer than then center of my infamous grey cards.

That was the day that Mother Nature ordered up for Trent Buckley's original date for senior pictures.

A whole lotta yuck.

So... being resourceful like we are, I welcomed his wonderful mom, Chris, in the door for her THIRD senior session with us.   Add in a family session or two over the years and the fact that Rudy the cat that roams the Buckley house... used to roam OUR residence... there's plenty of connections here.

Day one was indoor only of course, and Mr. Trent had a couple of "regular" things for me to take care of... but then he also had a double-dose of football... which was right up my alley.

Well... sort of.

Trent needed one of our trademark sports collages to mark his love for all things East Marshall.   That I was okay with.   The other?   Well.. let's just say that's why I'm a pro.  

;)

A quick glance over the blog images here will tell you that I had to swallow my pride... lose my religion... and make some images that included a jersey that represented the fine university over in Ames.

Ahem.

That's why I get paid the big bucks, right?  :)

With day one in the books, it was about a week and a half before Trent and Chris returned.

This time it was still grey... but no rain in sight, so we were good to go.

The highlight was yet one more trip to the gridiron home of the Mustangs in LeGrand.   I think this year may have set a record number of appearances there, and I'm okay with that... it shows a return of pride there that I think had been missing.

The same kind of pride that Chris and Scott Buckley have for their son, Trent, who I will report to you, has come a long way as I've watched this young man grow up over the years.   He's had a lot to over come, and judging from how much fun he was having at his session, I would say that he's doing it with flying colors.   A giant of a guy with a big heart to match, I couldn't help but want to do my very best for these friends of mine that go way back to when we were living on the same street in LeGrand.   We might not be just down the street anymore... but we'll always be neighbors.

Thanks Team Buckley... for everything over the years.
