I had so much fun photographing Mark earlier this week.  When his mom first called me, she told me about a couple of more traditional poses she’d like to emulate that would be similar to portraits she had ordered of Mark’s older brother.  She said that once we got those shots out of the way, Mark was open to do whatever I wanted.  I asked his mom about his personality, his interests and hobbies, etc.  I explained that if he played baseball, for example, we could do something totally wacky like having him throw a flaming baseball.  It turns out that Mark is indeed a pitcher for his high school baseball team and during the session his mother was joking about how Mark can “throw fire.”  Hence the flaming baseball shot was born!

After we did some studio shots, we went over to Notre Dame High School.  That was really fun because I went to an all-girls high school (no longer open), and Notre Dame is an all-boys school that was one of the brother schools to my school.  My own brother and my husband went to Notre Dame as did several of my friends, so it was neat to be back there for this shoot.

Mark, it was a pleasure meeting you!   I appreciate your easy-going attitude and willingness to go along with some of my silly ideas.  I hope you like your sneak peek.  Your full proof gallery will be ready soon!
