Dean’s Senior Session in Old Town Erie

Dean

A guy’s senior session in Erie with a personal touch

Full disclosure. I’m not that into cars. I like the silver one I have to get around in but that’s about as far as it goes. I’m kidding! I know the make and model of the car I drive. Don’t forget, I’m the mother of four boys so I’ve learned a thing or two over the years. And, as the mother of boys, I appreciate a guy who has ideas for adding his own personal style to his senior session.

Dean is a car enthusiast. He has an old Nova and a pickup truck. (Thank you Google for clearing up my confusion over a Nova.) After Dean graduates from high school, he plans to study civil engineering. It sounds like a good career choice for somebody who can problem solve to maintain a classic car and keep it on the road. I was curious how he decided which of his two cars he would drive to school each day, so I asked. His answer? Whichever one has gas in it. You can’t fault that logic!

Best wishes, Dean, for an awesome senior year!

Dean, I had a great time working with you to capture this milestone! Senior year is such an exciting time. You’re starting to see all your hard work pay off and dreaming big dreams for your future. I hope you get to put many more miles on your Nova and pickup, and that they get to a lot of interesting places. Have an awesome senior year and may all your wishes come true! Best of luck, Theresa
