This was such a unique photo shoot. It began because I know the grandmother. She is such a precious lady! She has told me over the course of my knowing her how incredible her son and daughter-in-law are as well as this very special grandson. It was such a privilage to meet this family and be able to take this particular grandson's pictures! Jake: You are a great young man -- God will do great things in your life if you continue to allow Him to work through you!
This shoot was done last Friday when there was a 30-40% chance of rain. I had a meeting after work that I quickly moved in order to TRY to beat the rain. We walked around their beautiful property and began taking pictures.
They had a couple of ponds, an old barn and a VERY cool '69 Firebird that belonged to his grandmother!
Then we took a few with his car and proceeded to his school to take his soccer pictures -- he plays for his local high school as well as NELSA. He told me that he was interested in engineering as was going to school with a scholarship not from soccer but by his brains (my words, not his) -- smart kid!
Just from watching Jake -- I personally think he could've gone to college with a scholarship from both, but surprisingly there are only three schools in our state that offer soccer scholarships! Interesting tidbits that you learn during a soccer shoot!
BTW: Jake's shoot was concluded right on time and THAT was when the rain began -- we beat the rain (thanks to the prayers of a grandmother!)
Jake, FOCUS Photography wishes you the best! We know that you will rock out the engineering program and whatever else you choose to do in life!!
God Bless!
