You guys.  This kid. Well, I say "kid" but hearing him carry on a conversation with other people is anything but kid-like.  I was so impressed by Caleb's ability to effortlessly command attention, not in an intimidating way, but a "I've been your friend all your life" way.  This young man is blessed with a super infectious charisma that draws people in, making them instantly comfortable.  He made my job super easy. On the other hand, Caleb is still a kid getting ready to experience possibly the best time of his life. And who is by his side?  His family.  Caleb obviously understands that family is the most important support system he can have, and that family was in full force today.  BB even came from Morristown to hang out!  His entourage accompanied us throughout the entire session, and they reminded me of my own family with their easy-going attitudes and strong bonds.   Caleb's mom says they are loud and crazy, but that they love hard....

Isn't it hard to believe that the next school year is just a few weeks away?  As a kid, I remember the summer lasting seemingly forever.  Perhaps it was where I lived, in one of those tired old towns where nothing much ever happened, but summer was always hot, lazy, and long.  Those were the days!  Now, summer is a small pause from routine, from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind.   For this first young lady, the new school year is the beginning to an end.  Miss Katelyn will embark upon her last year in high school at a new school.  Although I didn't have Katelyn in class, I did see her frequently in the halls.  Her personality shines and will certainly attract plenty of new friends.  Good luck to this fun girl!  Enjoy every minute!  But don't forget, once a bulldog, always a bulldog!  Next up is my sweet girl.  Folks, this is a big year.  Kindergarten!  Although it's har...

Unfortunately for me, I don't know Taylor that well.  I remember her as a little girl, but because of my career change, I did not get to have this young lady in class last year.  Apparently, I missed out on a good one.  Taylor loves to read, and she brought with her some of my favorite classic authors:  Austen and the Bronte sisters.  I like this girl!   Taylor was super easy-going throughout our session, even though it started out pretty rough!  Folks, know your gate codes!  While we didn't have sunlight for our evening session, the clouds overhead gave us great lighting on their own and provided us with enough shade so that we didn't sweat to death.  Though, we were attacked by a multitude of creepy crawlies.  Oh, and we almost got a guest deer in some shots, but I suppose he didn't like my angle.   Overall, our time was well-spent.  I've had a most difficult time choosing which photos to add to this post.  Taylor h...
