While I enjoy just about all facets of photography, portrait sessions are near and dear to my little heart. A couple of weeks ago, I got the opportunity to photograph Valerie and her family. I’ve got to be honest here.  Most of the young men that I meet aren’t in love with the idea of taking pictures….especially when you ask beg them to smile. From Julian all the way down to little Nick, these fellas busted all of those stereotypes in about 2 minutes flat. Don’t be surprised if you see their faces again on my blog. Check out their slide-show and a few images below…
