School Portrait 09'

After home schooling our 2 boys for 4 years, they now go to a private school.

I'm a commercial photographer and have never done anything like this before, but since it's their school, I agreed to do the school portraits for the school.

It was definitely more fun than I expected.

Shotgun Willie says:: i bet they're gonna have some sweet photographs.

Le Duncan says:: Its a good thing pictures are now, and not a few months from now, when your beard would probably scare the living daylights out of most kids.
