From the sidelines, I watched his older brother grow up and then was blessed to photograph his wedding one day. As luck would have it, another brother came to my rescue when I was looking for a guitar teacher for one of my sons. Another brother is friends with that same son. I pray daily for yet another brother who is in harm’s way in Afghanistan. There is a sister in there too, and though I don’t know her well, I can tell you that she is lovely and can rock a bridesmaid’s dress! Over the years, I have nodded and chatted with their parents whom I admire and am amazed by. They are awesome. But this is about Josh. Quiet. Quick to smile. Kind. An old soul, too, is my guess. (That is a compliment, Josh.) My older sons know him from youth group. I know him as one of the kids who sits behind me in church. Now we have been blessed to photograph him. Senior pictures. Wow. Where does the time go? There is no greater honor for us than to have a parent want us to do their senior’s portraits. Why? This is it. Aside from the wedding, this is it. That kid is going to school or off to a career… out on their own… taking that next step. These are mom’s last images of the child she once knew. They are dad’s pride and joy on paper. Tangible memories. Thank you, Estes Family, for trusting your precious memories to us. We hope we did you proud. And Josh, we wish you the best of luck! Can’t wait to see where you go from here!
