What a difference a year makes.

Yesterday I spent some time shooting my nephew's football portrait. He's quite the little stud. I did the same thing last year and it's amazing to see how much he's grown. And, not just physically either. Last year he really struggled to understand what it was we were asking him to do and, while I still love the portrait, it does lack that "toughness" I was looking for. This year he was on point, had no trouble understanding what I wanted and worked hard for me. He is a great kid and I look forward to more portraits as he and my other nephew and nieces grow. The first one is last years portait.
