Here are a couple of special effect pictures of Brandon and a frame. I would be remiss if I didn’t point out that Brandon is wearing the tie I wore in Jen and Derrick’s wedding this summer.
This is a collection of a few of the color images from Day 1 of Brandon’s Senior Photo Shoot. These probably aren’t the best pictures from the day, but they are some of my favorites.
