FIRST LOOK AT JAKE... our very last, but certainly not least, 2016 Senior to photograph this year! Jake, who recently graduated from John Paul II, was a REAL trooper out there... in spite of the fact that it was so hot, the birds were using potholders to pull up worms. In fact, it was hotter than blue blazes... and it must've felt like eleventy-million degrees to Jake, who spent at least an hour of the session in a (albeit very AWESOME) dark blue suit. I guess years and years of ice hockey (he played for JPII and the Allen Americans) has toughened him up, though. Did I mention that it was so hot, the chickens were laying hard-boiled eggs? Speaking of eggs, Jake is just about to gather his into a basket (okay, put clothes into a suitcase, same thing) and head on down to Texas A&M where he will study Civil Engineering. And where it may be even HOTTER than it was at his session... especially in August. Why, just the other day, I heard that someone in College Station set his house on fire, just to cool it down! Ha ha, just kidding (I think). Back to Jake and the fact that he, himself, was probably the only cool thing about our photo outing... that and the OTHER fact that we got some seriously cool (meaning GOOD) photos! Jake, thanks for hanging in there and best wishes for a very HOT (meaning cool, meaning GREAT) future!
