Grant's photoshoot involved quite a lot of two things that I don't often get a ton of: 1) a huge variety of hilarious outtakes and 2) embarrassing stories about him as a kid as told by his mom throughout the photoshoot.

The best story was about Grant in 3rd grade.  Apparently he had a tough teacher and a long patch of bad behavior in class.  Finally his mom, Mindy, got to the point where when Grant got a good report home from the teacher she gave him a banana split....for breakfast. "There's worse things, than a banana split for breakfast, right?  I mean, there's fruit in there at least" she concluded.  I concur.

Grant is on the track team.  His main event is the hurtles, but he'll probably also do the 4x400.

We were talking about flexibility because I wanted to have him sitting in some of the shots.  He said that because it's the off-season he's not super flexible right now.  But during the season they stretch for like 45 minutes a day (!) and he improves a ton.

Grant's dad was an FBI agent, so that begged the question.  "Are you going to apply?" I asked?  He answered with a resounding "No."  He explained that when starting out you can actually make more money in the Livermore PD than as an FBI agent.  And that it takes several years of rising through the ranks to finally make a decent salary.  You also can't hold any other part time jobs while you work there in order to supplement your income.  "They own you" is the consensus.  Interesting.  

Speaking of owning... Grant is the owner of a Cap & Gown mini session in the spring so I'll be posting more pictures of him then and we'll get to find out where he'll be next year.  Can't wait to have you in front of my lens again Grant!
