This one is to show that there is still beauty even in the middle of chaos .  It was such a pleasure to spend time with the Young family and here a a little peek into what they will have in store.

Okay, so I thought what in the world am I going to do when I drove up and saw my beautiful field of flowers plowed down.  Well, that initial shock did not stop us from having a great shoot.  Erielle and Cullen were the perfect models for the day, we made the best of things by hunting for bugs and blowing bubbles.  These two beauties made my job so easy and I am already looking forwards to our next shoot.

This year my son Gio, really wanted his dad to coach his basketball team… so Sam could not pass up the opportunity.

The boys (aka the SPURS) really played their hearts out year and were undefeated during the regular season and eventually went on to take first place in their division.  As a special gift for working so hard, Sam wanted me to photograph the team.  All but two members of the team made it out for our last minute photo session and I hope they love their Sports Illustrated like images.

A special thanks to Coach Ren who volunteered his time and help Coach Sam coach these boys to victory.

Gio, my son… Thanks so much for working through the pain - I am so proud of you and your dedication to improving your skills each game.  Your drive both on defense and offense was was nothing less than impressive.

Micah… A true leader who handled the pressure well all season.  Thanks for being the quite force on the team that surprised the competitors with your incredible poise, your ability to read the court and your amazing shots.

 

Derrick… Big shots and amazing speed are just the beginning of what you brought to the team.  Thanks for your incredible drive right down the center and leading our team in scoring.  You came ready to play BIG each game and never allowed the game to play you.

 

Robert… Who says spirit doesn’t count.  Thanks so much for your positive attitude and your team spirit.  Each game we saw how your hard work defensively helped our team come out ahead.  Each game you left it all on the court and kept our spirits high,

 

 

Javin (not pictured)… Thanks your strong offensive plays and even stronger defensive plays.  Having you on our team as a forward was a key to our victory.

Drew (not pictured)…  You flew below the radar of the other teams but you were our secret weapon and an all around fantastic player.  Thanks for playing all aspects of  the game so well that the other teams just did not know what to expect from you.

Here’s to a job well done… I am so proud of all of you.  There will be more picture to come your way soon.  Javin and Drew, just have your folks give me a call and I will be sure to get your photos done as well.

 

 

 We all had such a good time on his shoot and I just could not wait to get home and take a look at these images.

Stacy, I know that I had such a hard time keeping everyones names straight but I think that I have it all figured out now - wink!

Up next… come back for more real soon.
