Fun at the Photo Shoot

Aunt Laurie does a little primping on her nephew.

At Saturday's SHS publications fundraiser, there was plenty of fun to be had along with the funds raised.

My sisters suggested that we go have our portraits taken "as we are."

Well, we were dressed as we feel most comfortable.

In fact, at the Junior Miss fashion show, also held at the high school, we wondered what kind of looks we'd get if we walked in and joined all the folks in high fashion.

We chose to turn the other way and go to Willie's room where Cody Finney, Kendall Stratton and others from Monticola were shooting family and pet portraits.

Well, the farm crowd came in and had a blast on the set loaned to the students by Coldwater Creek.

Later, Willie got dragged into the craziness. We heard later that the students spent their share of time misbehaving in front of the camera.

My sister Laurie said she hadn't laughed that hard in ages.

And, to top it all off, the photography was such high quality that a lady who arranged to have her family portrait taken went to Wal-Mart to have prints made.

She was told they couldn't make prints because "These are PROFESSIONAL photos." Quite a tribute to the kids' work.

My sister Barbara says they'll send Wal-Mart a heads-up before the next high-school photo shoot.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we enjoyed having them taken.
