But that I did when I joined Collin and his mom at the pig barn to greet his four favorite piglets that he&#8217;s raising as a part of FFA (<a title=\"FFA\" href=\"http:\/\/www.montanaffa.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Future Farmers of America<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Collin and his mom, Anna Marie, have a special bond with these piglets, as they both helped birth them and ensure safe passage into their new world. And they also have a fondness for the farm, too &#8211; as Collin told me, it&#8217;s one of his favorite places. Which is truly evident &#8211; he&#8217;s at home, relaxed and confident next to the hay bales and the little two-month-old piglets that root around in the straw at his feet, grunting softly and occasionally nibbling his pants legs.<\/p>\n<p>So it was the perfect location to make some photos for his senior year at Big Sky High School that truly capture what Collin loves &#8211; from the wee little piggies cuddling under a heat lamp in the barn, to the two-month-old piglets he helped bring into the world. And we got a few fun shots of Collin and his mom, too, for good keepsake material. :)\u00a0 Thanks so much Collin and Anna Marie &#8211; I had a such a great time, and really learned a lot, too!<\/p>\n<p>On to the photos!
