🎓⁠ Cinching up that tie is the equivalent to 🎓⁠
Cinching up that tie is the equivalent to pulling on nylons.⁠

If you've done either you know a college grad {high school grad too} isn't begging to change into his formal wears part of the photo session⁠
😂⁠
But once again, I'm in awe of what boys will do for their Mama's⁠
💖⁠
He deserves a double-tap on these photos for looking so sharp in his suit right!?⁠
{TAP-TAP}⁠

Are you wearing a formal outfit under your graduation gown this year?⁠

“I’ve never been over here before.”

Nicolas + I met up for his photos by the iconic  @northern_illinois_university ‘castle’ and he hadn’t been on this side of campus in all 4-years {no kidding}
•
But with his full schedule, job + an officer/player on the soccer club, it didn’t sound like he’s had much time for a walk-a-bout.
•
Glad I could show him around campus😂
•
Great weather {no wind}
And another great grad coming out of college. Thanks for all the soccer talk Nicolas!
⚽️

Brian whistles a song, never sings, &⁠
I belt out all kinds of songs {in the car alone} because both of us sound like a squirrel squawking at it's predator! 🙉 ⁠
{If you've never heard it - trust me - it's not kind to the ears}⁠
So when Emma started singing + stage acting we were out of our depth. But we've followed along with her every step of the way⁠
.⁠
Last weekend we took a drive to her campus to watch her perform in the college musical and it was another moment that I'm thankful for⁠
.⁠
It might be her last time on stage so I captured a glimpse of 'her sport' to keep with me forever. Yep, it's a poor quality recording of my high quality girl, up on stage doing something she loves. And I wanted a little piece of that FOREVER because it brings alotta JOY!⁠
💖⁠
What moment would you record if you knew it might be the last time?⁠

Should I be scared when he asks, “Think they’l Should I be scared when he asks,
“Think they’ll let me drift?” 😳 
Nick didn’t say that, but I know he was thinking it😆 He wanted to learn to drive a stick-shift over Spring Break.
.
So there he goes!
.
Brian found @novadriving here in Chicago and after his 2-hour course I hope he’s ready to go {NOT film the next Tokyo Drift movie, but drive without stalling at a red light}
🛑 
.
If learning to drive isn’t on your list this Spring Break, maybe my other staycation ideas like the Van Gogh Moving Art Exhibit, here in Chicago, or Northern Axeposure. All are linked up on the Staycation blog post this week. @shiningmomentsphotography bio link.
