12

This weekend I had so much fun taking photos for a friend to celebrate her son turning twelve. Twelve is such a fun and important age that we decided to focus upon some of the best parts of being twelve in hopes of capturing his personality. Originally we set out with a specific location in mind because it was supposed to have an abandoned antique piano in it and her son plays. We had to give up our search but we were still able to find some great spots and her son was such a great sport to sit through a photo shoot in the hot sun and to let his mom and I tease him a little so that he felt comfortable in front of the camera. I especially love the baseball pictures, they remind me of the movie Field of Dreams. 

 

Panther Football with S

This was my first time attempting pictures at a sporting event and while there were challenges of proximity and time, I had a great time shooting S at his game and managed to grab a few fun shots. S (number 32) puts his heart and soul into football, and his eyes hardly left the game for a second. He and his team spend countless hours practicing, most of which are in the heat and they play hard.
