A few weeks ago, one of my friends asked me to take senior pictures of her son. I was excited to practice taking pictures on someone willing and capable of sitting happily and smiling for me.
Unlike the people around here who would rather endure the dentist's drill than pose for their mother without the promise of cold, hard cash.
Dustan was a photographer's dream. He endured outfit changes, multiple locations, and more than an hour's worth of smiling at my camera. I think it was worth the effort and wanted to show you a few of my favorites.
Look out, ladies of BYU. This handsome fella is coming your way this fall:

Wow. Almost makes me wish I was a freshman at BYU again. Did that sound cougar-ish, or what?
Cute kid, great pictures.
You take great pics. I'm cracking up at Annemarie's comment.
I love the serious one. He's handsome. Good pictures, Christie.
Terrific job, Christie! (Annemarie you are hilarious). I like them all and especially the middle three where his eyes really seem to sparkle. Now to get you on the travel circuit...
You did such a good job! It was nice practice for Miss Rachel.. It does help that he is soo dang darling inside and out, and his eyes really do sparkle. I am hoping he has many cute friends to set Rachel up with at the Y.
What a cute kid. I love the one with the bricks in the background. These are WAY better than our senior pictures--whoa.
I for one will miss seeing his cute smiling face around these parts come fall. Very nice pics! Even nicer Young Man!
My fave is the one with him standing against the wall. Good job on the lighting!
Great Job Christie! These are really, really good!! Way to go!
Yep, he's a cutie. Wish I had a younger sister!
Great Job with the photos!
You already know you got talent so I won't feed you more:) but I need a favor...the tabs on our van have been expired for quite some time, could you go stand in line at the DMV for me?
by the way, very sweet post for your new seven year old!
Great pictures love the lighting on them...
oh love the first comment!
"He'll be going fast." I love you, Stie.
Great pictures!
VERY GOOD! I am in the process of trying to get some seniors to pose for me. I was worried about how to make a boy pose. These are good. He looks tough and manly and cute at the same time. I love photographing older people- wiggly kids are just too hard!
Great, another cute boy that will bring out all of the baking whores at BYU.
Note to Dustan: The girl who bakes/cooks for you only AFTER you start dating is the one worth pursuing. Even better, she makes you cook for her.
Oh, wait this was about the pictures, right? Very nice- on both sides of the camera.
The pictures look great! You are so talented.
Good work Stie. I love Ilene's comment about the baking/cooking whores. So true.
I will be showing these pics to my daughter's best friend who will be at the Y this fall. She is equally as cute.
You've got mad skills girl.
The pictures are awesome! Great job Christie!
K- He is totally HOT! I wish I knew a really cute girl that went to BYU. He'll be snatched up in no time though!
You do great work! I love the first one. The black and white somehow make his eyes stand out.
Oh, Christie, you are so talented! And, happy birthday to Hannah. Love, always.
That's a cutie, alright!
I can't believe you're begging for subjects...your picture are great!
you take great photos!! and ohh.. my little sis is eighteen and she is way cute! we should set them up. haha
that grin! what a stinkin' cutie! and of COURSE you took fabulous pictures...writing AND photography? you're making me jealous girl.
i loved seeing you last week!
I love the close up where his eyes just pop! Great pics! You're quite the photographer kiddo!
Great photos!!
I have these two seniors in our ward that I've requested stay unmarried for 10 more years, so that Emma can have one of them.
Sorry Dustan. If you want to wait 15 years, I'll have another daughter available, but then you'd be weird for not being married at the age of 32, so never mind.
Wow! If he wasn't my cousin I would swoon! (Cause swooning for a cousin is kinda weird) I'll be so sad when he goes off to college. but I know by these comments I'll be a bridesmaid before I'm outta high-school!
Fabulous shots! Some lucky girl is going to swoop him up - lets hope she is as nice as you say he is!
What nice photographs!!! You're doing a great job. I remember when you got that camera and that Photoshop book. :-)
Cute fella. And does anyone else feel a little sad that the teenaged boy can wear a white belt and still be cool? I missed that fashion entirely. So unjust. Of course, I've turned all my belts into headbands, but that's beside the point.
