Elk Grove, CA Photographer, Chad's Senior Portraits 2013

"Can you move your bottom back a bit?" after those words slipped out of my mouth, I realized that my cool factor had just plummeted considerably. But when one considers the alternatives, they don't sound much better. Surely I need to take a teen consensus on this matter, should it ever come up again-and it will.

It didn't seem to phase Chad, who was the consummate male model, or so it appeared. Although he is not a professional model, he had fun with the shoot, and was a total ham. At one point as if on cue the crowd erupted with an applause, literally, after I had asked for a smile! There was a graduation party going on, and the timing couldn't have been more perfect.

Thank you Chad for a great shoot, and the comic relief-you're awesome!

I promise to be resolute in my search for better terms for fanny, rear end, tush, booty, derriere, bum... oh, how about caboose?
