The weather didn't cooperate many times, but we finally got all the pictures he wanted. This first photo is by far my favorite of all the poses/locations/outfits. Joe was so patient with me as we drove and traipsed all over, hunting for the best light and moving around to get a decent background. He was a total trooper. I haven't done many sports portraits yet, and it was fun to work with Joe, who is a catcher. I like to arrange and design, so working with all the equipment was a new aspect that I thoroughly enjoyed. Joe has played baseball since he was nine years old, but has only been catching for about four or five years. He wants to be a Major League catcher one day. It's a big dream and he's competing for one of thirty spots for starting catcher. A fun behind-the-scenes tidbit: the pictures in his uniform and with his gear, the ground was a bit moist, so we planned exactly where we wanted things to make his time kneeling as short as possible. It also had to be the last pose, because his knee got a bit muddy. These are the little things you have to think of that are so easy to overlook. Joe, congratulations on your graduation. May God bless you as you move on to other things!!! Baseball is 100% mental and 100% physical, but I think you have what it takes to make the big leagues if you buckle down and pour everything into it.
