We all can't wait to get our senior pictures done, but for me there was so much planning going into this day. The last pictures that will really matter for school. The pictures that I will be handing out to everyone, before I walk across that stage for graduation. It was just a HUGE day for me over all.The night before my pictures, I was stressing and I hadn't picked out anything to wear. I went into my older sisters room and told her I needed her help or I was going to keep stressing. She helped me pick out cloths to wear and what should go with what. For some reason I had in my mind that they were all going to be horrible and I was going to have a pimple pop up tomorrow morning. Which would have made me stress out even more. Preparing for them, I took like three showers the night before, I washed my face twice, and shaved my legs. I made sure everything was ready for the next day.
When we arrived to Dallas Center (where I had them taken) I saw the studio and started freaking out again. I had butterflies and I couldn't make them go away. As my mom, Carolyn, and I walked into the studio, I knew I was ready for them. Something clicked and I knew I would hate some and some I would just love.
Tony (the guy that took the pictures) was making me laugh because he would make fun of me. He always tried to get me sticking my tongue out at my sister, or me making a funny face. When we went outside for those pictures I was all happy and cheerful. I asked if there was a park around there because I wanted to play on the play ground. He told me no (me not understanding jokes) I thought he was serious. He just looked at me when I was frowning and said he was joking. So, my happy mood was back! When we got finished with all of the pictures he told me that right when I walked in the door he knew there would be so much energy, and that he was glad he canceled his other appoint for the day. Tony got my proofs back to me with in about an hour! It was fast and I loved them. So, getting all scared and thinking they were going to look bad, got me thinking. Don't expect the worse, just pray for the best, and if anyone wants a perfect girl, they can just go buy a barbie, because I am far from perfect. I stress about a lot of things, and I kind of like it that way.
Andrea - I loved reading your post! I was the same exact way with my senior pictures. The closer my appointment got the more nervous I got and started second guessing my outfits. But the night before my mom and I were talking about them and she was like okay, this is your last chance to change anything and then after that it's final. She just wanted me to stop worrying about little things. Then when we got there the next day, it hit me and I got really excited. I thought they were SO FUN! I loved everything about it - the different backgrounds, the different poses, the different scenery outside! I think it's normal to stress about senior pictures, girls especially. But once you get there, the fun starts! Great post, keep up the good work :)
