“rocky”

Friday, July 23, 2010



I love photographing seniors, it gets my creative juices flowing, Mr. J was no exception.  I pride myself on really capturing what each individual is passionate about, no one wants pictures that look like everyone else.  I was so excited when discussing the shoot with his mom, she told me he was into boxing, football and his car.  (This amazing ride was actually his mom's first car and has been completely refurbished twice,  which made it even more fun to shoot with mom beaming in the background).  To tell you the truth I didn't know what to expect, I had never photographed a boxer before, but was up for the challenge.  I had a blast!  I got in the ring, and took my best shot, (pardon the pun).  When I look at these boxing pics, the Rocky theme song plays in my mind and inspires me to get myself into fighting shape.  "J" was an awesome guy, so nice and respectful, loving to his mom, I just wanted to give him a big squeeze at the end of the shoot.   Thanks, it was so fun to photograph you, I have no doubt you have an amazing future ahead of you!
