In light of last night’s big win, I thought today would be the perfect day to blog Maverick’s senior session.  Maverick is one of the outstanding members of this year’s Flying Jets basketball team, who now also hold the title of Sectional Champs!!!!  We watched the game last night from our living room thanks to the live stream (7:30 tip off with two kids who require lots of sleep meant we didn’t go) and an impressive game it was.  This group of boys is a true team.  The talent is obvious but to see how they work together is an added bonus.  My husband was so keyed up watching it that I caught him THREE times actually clapping after an AC shot made…all from the comfort of his recliner ;)

While my kids attend the same school as Maverick, I came to know him from my years working at Gibby’s.  His mom and dad would bring the kids in (Maverick has a younger brother and sister) for our holiday specials and I came to know and look forward to their bleach blonde hair, huge smiles…and wise cracking dad.  Maverick’s dad has a nickname for me…I can’t for the life remember it exactly, but I’m thinking it’s “Blondie.”  And yes, he calls me that for all the reasons you’re thinking of !

We shot most of Maverick’s session in Monroe, something I’ve wanted to do for some time.  Most people wouldn’t think of it as a great place for an entire session but if you follow the pretty light, any location can work!  Maverick’s mom, Kim, also suggested we try a few locations near their home so we took a little field trip to incorporate some locations that had meaning to them as a family.  Along the way, we met up with DAD and the blonde jokes resumed ;)

Being the basketball god that he is, I knew Maverick would want some shots in his uniform so we ended the session back at the school in the very dark locker room!

Maverick, Congratulations on all of your accomplishments thus far!  Looking forward to the next game and seeing how far you boys can go!  I know the entire community is so proud of you already-GO JETS!!!
