Yesterday I got to meet with Pam, the mother of Nathan. I recently did lifestyle Senior pictures of Nathan at the ball field where he grew up playing. I had sent Pam a few of the photo's I liked as I processed them, but yesterday she got to see all of them. I am happy to announce she got a little teary looking at a few of them.
Nothing makes my heart sing like being able to touch someone through a photograph I have taken.
It is why I chose lifestyle, location photography. Lifestyle photo's make it more than just a picture, they make it a memory of not only the photos themselves but of the time spent in a special place taking them.
Nathan is a great guy. He lettered in Baseball at John Tyler High School so his letterman's jacket and of course class ring needed to be a focal point ( I LOVE props)
I let him choose the location of the photo shoot, and must say I was thrilled when he chose the baseball fields. We had a great time doing different shots in different parts of the park.
Towards the end I asked him if there was any specific picture he wanted that we hadn't done, he put his arm around his mom and said "this". It is no surprise that this made me choke up a bit, like I said he is a very special young man.
Thank you Nathan and Pam. I had a great day with you at the park. Thank you for letting me be a part of your memory.
Love the truck!
