I did some reflecting on what I've observed about him while spending time with his family. I have never once heard him speak disrespectfully to or about his parents. I've never seen a teenager that seemed to get along with people so well. For the past several years, he has spent 70+ hours volunteering every month. He is considerate and quick to smile. And he has some very serious goals that I have absolute confidence he will reach.
During our session, Nate's smile was ever-present. He told me that he prefers smiling pictures over serious ones. I threw in a few serious photos for good measure but for the most part, he is always smiling anyway... so it fits.
Nate, it was a pleasure photographing you as you transition to a new phase of your life. We are all very proud of you.
My child, my son, a young man grown. My life's work through the eyes of another. My question:
ReplyDeleteWhere did the time go? I'm sure just last week
we were sharing a moment dancing to Bobbie
McFerrin and singing 'don't worry..be happy'
and twirling, lost in our own world. Now he is
getting ready to face the world on his own, well
we have been preparing him for 18 years. The eagle
will leave the nest. Love you Jenna, Tammy
These are wonderful. I love that his family were included in the shoot. The wrestling photos are my favorite. :)
