Noah's strength

I love photography for tons of reasons, and one of those is getting to hang out with some really neat people. For me, Noah is one of those folks. I have known him for a while since his family attends the same church I do and have always known he is a good guy. He has always been polite and friendly. During this photo session, in getting to talk with him some more, and watch him interact with those around, I am amazed by his grace, politeness and sincerity of character. As a senior in high school, he seems to have alot about life and how you treat others already figured out-good for him. He is way ahead of the curve on the big picture of life.




His unassuming manner and kind tone of voice make him really easy to talk to. Just ask my 3 year old, who really digs Noah, and shares a love for the Red Sox.



In one way, it is hard for me to believe him when he says he has grown up being friends with 'Mousa.' On the other hand, they would keep each other in check, I suppose. Or something like that.
However it works, there is no doubt in my mind about Noah's life success. You see, his strength is knowing who he is and what is important and not worrying about the rest of the curves that are thrown at him. I just have a feeling he will succeed at whatever he puts his mind and heart to. And who knows, maybe 'Mousa' will be there too. ;)
I had a great time doing these pictures and it left me with an optimistic feeling about people and life in general. Thanks for the inspiration, Noah. Good luck with all you do.
Thanks for visiting!
Cheers!

Veerrrry nice, Noah!!! I love the pics-and I promise Jen, him and Cameron did grow up together. I should know-I didn't hardly miss a baseball game. It's amazing to see the journey you two have shared, and the great friendship that still remains. It seems like only yesterday you two were fighting with "E" and Chaise in the front yard over kickball, or playing "So You Think You Can Dance" for the camera!!!! You guys have given me many laughs and memories!!! Don't forget Gatlinburg-and Taco Bell!! Noah, you're a great kid and I'm glad you and Cam are great friends.
