I am so happy to feature Noah on the blog.  Noah is part of the graduating class of 2020 from Pickerington High School Central.  Along with the rest of the class of 2020, Noah did not have a normal end to his high school career.  As a matter of fact, we had to change his portrait session date several times in order to follow the ever changing conditions with both COVID-19 and the weather.  It was certainly worth the wait!!!  

Noah As you can see above, we had a fabulous start to our session.  Noah dedicated much of his high school career to band and it was important for us to be able to feature that.  I am so thankful that his mom was able to ensure that he had access to his uniform.  I have worked with enough band students through the years to appreciate the dedication that both students and parents give to the band program in order to ensure its success.  Noah's love of music and willingness to serve extends to his church community where he is part of the Youth Praise Band and the Adult Praise Band.

Noah As we settled into the next segment of our session together, I was moved by how Noah is such a perfect combination of his parents.  You see, Noah's mom, Kelly, is a dear friend of mine with a friendship that goes back to freshman year in High School, extends through our wedding days when we stood up for each other, and continues today despite our geographic distance.  All of the intelligence, empathy, kindness, and fun that I found in my friend, I also find in her son.  

Noah Noah is among many graduating seniors who aspire to become an official Ohio State Buckeye and that dream is coming true.  Noah plans to major in Psychology, and I have a feeling that music will continue to be part of his repertoire.  He certainly wears the scarlet and gray well.

Noah Of course we had to showcase the sophisticated side of Noah.  Can this young man wear a suit, or what?  Noah's friends would describe him as caring, well thought out, and friendly.  This suit says to add handsome and professional to that list.  I knew that this gated garden area of Inniswood Metro Garden in Westerville would be the perfect setting for these stunning portraits.  Noah was kind enough to let me gush as I was taking them.  

Noah We finished our session with some great parting shots in this inspiring setting.  Right now, Noah enjoys video games, playing music and spending time with friends.  He likes eating steak, burritos and pizza.  Some favorite movies include Star Wars and Indiana Jones, while his music interests include Crowder and for King and Country.  The beauty of this stage in life is that no one truly knows what the future holds for Noah.  There is every reason to believe that his future is going to be pretty fabulous, and his influence will create a positive landscape wherever he lands.  

It was my sincere pleasure to get to work with you, Noah.  I'm so happy that your mom will keep me informed about all that you are doing.  I will certainly be cheering for you!

Love and Smiles,

Laura

*What did Noah have to say about his portrait session with Laura Esposito Photography?

I liked that my portrait session was a good time and actually went quickly.  Some of my favorite photos were the ones in my band uniform and the ones with the suit jacket.
