Oh man. There should be some kind of award. If I could give one “Senior Portrait Survival Award” this season, Camden would be a lock.
This guy smiled and laughed while millions of mosquitos attacked him. The worst was trying to maintain a straight face while they feasted on him. He must have blood that’s the equivalent of mosquito crack. And then, after a valiant effort to keep a straight face, he’d crack up from the effort of holding all together. He has a great, full throttle laugh, so it was hilarious. I laughed sooo hard.
I’ve been photographing him since birth and seeing the adult he’s becoming was amazing. He’s changed a lot, just in the 2 years since our last family session! He may look different but he’s always been kind, calm and intelligent, and is an impressive boulderer, so we needed to reference his climbing in the portraits.
Somewhere over the years, Camden’s mom Liz became a treasured friend, so being with them both, cracking up, was an absolute blast.
