Wow! What can I say? There are not enough good words to describe this young man and the joy I had photographing him. Taylor, in just the few hours that I spent with him and his mom, was one of the nicest humans to be around. He was very much reserved and really didn't say a whole lot. As a person standing behind a high tech piece of equipment that is made to capture a person's soul, you realize how to "view" someone without hearing them speak. Taylor has eyes that smile. They are kind and still filled with that child-like wonder and innocence that I see in my toddlers eyes. I was amazed by that actually. I could see this teenager who resembles somewhat of a twenty-something man at times, but then I would catch a glimpse of a little boy in his smirks and looks he would give his mother. I look at my little boy and my baby girl and wonder what it will be like when they become teens, and I hope we will have a bound that I saw between Taylor and his mom. If I sit back and take in all the little things that come with my photo shoots I realize that they give me so much appreciation for life. This one taught me not to worry so much about my kids growing up too fast. Look at them for who they are today and don't cry about what they were yesterday. That no matter how old they are, they will always be a part of you. That when they become a man or a woman there will still be that innocent child looking out through their eyes.
