Terminale means Senior

There are some things that we never thought about when hosting an exchange student.  Weird things. Like having someone else use your washing machine.  Or having your recycling magically taken out. Or senior pictures.  

Senior pictures in Minnesota are different than Senior Pictures in California.  You see, when I was in high school, we just took pictures in the gym.  Everyone had the same background -- the only thing that changed were the forced poses.  But not in Minnesota.  Here, you get to choose your background, your outfit, your location, your pose, your props even.  

So when we were confused about what to do and all things senior portraits, we called our amazingly talented friend Katie to take Abel's pictures.  Really, she's unbelievable.  I literally texted her "Would you be interested in taking Abel's senior portraits?" and she took it from there.

We met Katie down by the Mill City Museum.  It was pretty clear that we weren't the only senior portrait sessions happening that day.  We couldn't walk 10 feet without running into another senior with a change of clothes followed by a photographer.  

But I venture to guess that none of them turned out as amazing as Abel's.  He hasn't chosen which one he is going to submit for the official photo in the yearbook, but some of my favorites are below.  Let's just say that he and I, well.....we don't agree on the favorites.
