{Indianapolis Senior Photography} Richard.. aka my baby brother.

I'm a photographer, and my little brother needs senior pictures... who do you think is getting that call? ME... well, it better be me, if not I may go cry silently somewhere. lol Anyway, that's the situation I was in yesterday. My baby brother... and by BABY BROTHER I mean I was THERE the day this kid was born. Not in the room because that would just be weird and gross, but I was in the hospital, waiting in a waiting room, bugging the crap out of our older sister (as any younger sibling would do when forced to wait hours in a hospital waiting room.) and I got to see his adorable little big head only minutes after he was born. They wheeled him in a little room, and I stood there looking down at his little bundled butt with my father, and he reached up to grab my finger... awww how cute he used to be! lol Flash to 17 years (and 2 months) later and here he is going to be a senior in high school. Right on the heels of my own 10 year HS reunion! Ironic much?!? To give a bit more background, I have cried at every milestone he's passed, every new school grade he's went into, and every achievement he's had, so I prepared that day by getting tears out of the way beforehand, and I knew more would come with the editing. lol

Without drawing this out even more, here is my little baby brother... as a senior!

Kaycee + Bobby + Braxton = 3

Kaycee & Bobby are pregnant with thier first child, and are naming him Braxton. This session got off to an interesting start before it even began. I had 2 people lined up to come and assist me on this, but at the last minute neither could go. So the day of my husband ended up getting pulled away from the track to come an assist me. *gulp*
It ended up all working out though, because I call my husband Bob and/or Bobby (since his first name IS Robert)... and we had to quickly establish a Bob #1 and Bob #2 order. Once we had that down, it was smooth sailing from there, minus the two preggo's (Kaycee & Me) out in 100 degree heat!



We had the session on Bob #1's family's property. Despite the sun being full-blast-crazy, we totally rocked the session.


We managed to find a strip of shade.... and I do mean a strip. lol


But, I still used the crazy bright sun to our advantage. I wish I looked this good right now, and she's 3 months further along than I am.




What was Bob #1's must-have picture?? One with his truck of course, so we made it happen.



Kaycee's 2 must-have's were a picture with her ultrasound...



and the baby love "heart over the belly" shot. Check and Check!


This one is a tad hard to see when I put them all together like this, but I took 3 shots in a row, and it ended up being pretty funny, I call it the progression of Bobby & Kaycee.



mean faces *giggles* happy faces



They were such great people, Kaycee and I ended up talking after the session forever until the Bob's got bored and started playing with thier trucks. haha. I do believe I'll be doing Braxton's newborn pictures and I can't wait, so keep your eyes out for that in the coming months.
