Last week I was highlighting some seniors I have photographed lately.  About midway through the week I had to put reality on hold and head to Florida for my sister's wedding. 

It's time for me to step back into reality (and chilly temperatures), so I thought what better way to do ease back into things than to post Lincoln's senior pictures?

Meet Lincoln...

 

 

It was such a treat for me to photograph him.  His mom has been my hairdresser for years.  We trade stories about our kids, so it was fun to finally put a face to the stories. 

I have heard all about his love for soccer and all of the fun times they have had with him playing travel soccer.  It was sweet to watch his mom get a little choked up at the reality of him being a senior; doing senior pictures.  (I don't look forward to that for my own kids!)

 

I could feel his energy and his want to play, just us being on the field, the ball in his hands. 

Being a mom of athletes myself, I know the excitement sports bring to the lives of my kids.  It was evident with him during our shoot too.  He is a goalie - one of the hardest positions, in my opinion. 

 

 

He is a great kid.  That is another thing I love about photographing seniors, they seem to let all the crap in their lives fall away for a second while we are shooting.  Their personalities shine through and every one of the seniors I have ever photographed show what fantastic people they are.  Lincoln was no exception. 

 

Thanks, Lincoln, for being such a trooper - shooting in very chilly weather!  You did an amazing job.  I look forward to hearing more stories about your soccer career and any other fantastic things you decide to do!  Your mom couldn't be more proud of you.
