So….
I graduated in 1998. The year 2012 was not even on my radar at the time.
It’s not that I somehow didn’t think I’d make it to 2012, it’s that I didn’t even have the year 2012 on the spectrum of possibility.
I was thinking a lot about that as I drove home from the city the other night after taking this amazing young man’s senior pictures. As an 18 year old, what could I have possibly been able to predict about my life 14 years later? Nothing. Seriously… nothing. Because the life of an 18 year old is so centered on the “here and now”, and why shouldn’t it be? 18 year olds have the world at their fingertips. They’re blasting out the doors of their high schools for the very last time, running full-speed into the promising unknown. There’s an undeniable energy that radiates from any 18 year old who’s about to fly out of the nest, and it’s downright inspiring.
This session was an experience a bit off the beaten path for me, but it reminded me of what it felt like to be teetering on the fence between past and future.
and I loved every minute of it…

everydayMOM - I love how you included a photo with his family. What a great idea! Where were the bottom photos taken? That wall is a great backdrop!
Amy Tripple Photography - Hi Emily! The bottom pictures were taken in an alley in Chicago, but I doubt I could find it again if I tried… ha! We just drove past it and I said, “STOP! We’re getting out!” : ) There are lots of spots like that downtown… it was fun to search for it!
Amy Tripple Photography - Thanks Jennie!!! : )
