It is hard for me to imagine a time when Dylan wasn’t in front of my lens - there’s a chance that maybe there hasn’t been. I’ve been watching him grow from a small boy into the young man he is today in seemingly just a matter of a few weeks! Much like my own children, he stands before me as a sign that time doesn’t stand still and even though it may not feel like (well, other than my neck and knees) we’re all getting older!
For most of the people who know Dylan they immediately think baseball. For sure he has dedicated himself to achieving high goals within the sport … spending summers in the south, countless hours on the road to games for different leagues and likely more time than sleep in the backyard growing faster, stronger and more accurate each and every day. The non-baseball side of this boy is kind, mature, loves his family and is so full of sarcastic silliness that I couldn’t help but laugh the entire time.
Much like Jillian’s session earlier this season (maybe its a Baltimore thing?!) we hopped in Dylan’s jeep filled with sporting equipment and country music flowing through the stereo to visit several locations throughout our time together. I really have appreciated these mobile locations this year and covering a good deal of space while capturing this precious time of life, the time while as a parent you watch as your baby birds sprout their wings to fly.
And just for fun here’s a look back at just a few of the other images I’ve captured of Dylan over the years …
