Well let me start out by saying that this kid is kindof a big deal. He is a member of the #1 ranked Columbus North Cross Country team…. and I don’t mean #1 in the state, I mean #1 in the NATION! He already has one state championship under his belt and his is well on his way to #2 as he and the Bulldogs head to the state finals this weekend (good luck!).

So with all that said he’s also just a good kid. I have had the pleasure of working with his mom at Cummins over the past couple of years and I was thrilled when she asked me about doing his pictures. Although my dad coaches at East and I usually have to be an Olympian supporter, I do make exceptions 😉

Thanks to Gabe for the great session – may have to reshoot the ring shot when he comes home to #2!

After some shots at North we headed over to Noblitt Park which is their home course for cross country. Thank god I’ve semi conquered my fear of heights because Gabe led me up on some elevated train tracks that normally would have given me a heart attack. All I could think about was the scene in Stand By Me when they have to outrun the train (yah I own I that movie).
