For those of you that know me well...I LOVE pictures! I can't seem to get enough pictures, especially of Drake! Mary Dunaway, Photos2Remember, does a WONDERFUL job of helping me capture Drake, month by month! I've had Drake's pictures taken with Mary since before he was even born! She took my maternity pictures, and all of Drake's pictures there after. On Thursday, Mary ventured to the sticks of Shelbyville to capture Drake's one year pictures. As Mary knows, I put a lot of though into what I want his pictures to look like. I usually had a few ideas each month for her to "create"! Since this was the end of Drake's "baby" pictures, I wanted to do something extremely special but couldn't think of what. It wasn't until about two hours before we were suppose to meet that I had a great idea (at least I thought so!). Drake received a Case IH Petal Tractor for his first birthday from my dad, Papa Tom and Grandma Christi, along with a Case IH wagon from Clint's mom and dad, Grampy and Grammy! I couldn't think of any background that would be better for these pictures other than our own backyard! A few of the pictures we even directed toward Drake's Great-Grandpa and Grandma's house to include the Harvestore. I definitely think these pictures turned out wonderful and will please more than just myself! Thanks so much Mary for the wonderful work you've done in the past year. I will forever have the memories captured of Drake growing up, thanks to you. Words can not express my thanks! Below are a "few" of my favorites! I tried to pick...it was so hard!
Pointing out the bird poop on the cement!
My happy boy!
The old chicken coop behind Mama's house made for a neat scene. These fire truck overalls are what Drake wore to his 1st birthday party!
The very first pictures Mary took of Drake, she made a composite for me with his profile, hands, feet, ear, eye, nose and mouth. The point of this picture was to get part of his profile, but I love his baby blue eyes! This picture truly shows the innocence of a child!
And this one shows how ornery a little boy can be!
Just farmin'!
Showing off my tractor! "Crops are green, tractors are RED!"
Big stuff! Notice the Harvestore in the background!
Not only did he enjoy driving, he also enjoyed sitting in the wagon while I hauled him from corner to corner in our yard!
"You been farmin' long?"
Ah, Pals! Drake and Macy...forever friends!
Brmm, Brmm!
I can even drive one handed!
All dressed up and no where to go!
