Noah's 15 Year Old Portraits

About 6 or 7 months ago, I discovered a graffiti wall that local artists painted not very far from our house. As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to do Noah's 15 year old portraits there. There are many things about Noah that are not teenager-ish and to me, a graffiti wall seems very teen-ish and I wanted very teen-ish pictures.

Taking pictures of Noah is not always an easy thing to do. He is often uncooperative and doesn't really want to smile. I was hoping he would be in a good mood when we went to take them and luckily he was! They came out better than I thought they would and most of them scream 15 to me!

Enough talking, you want to see the pictures, don't you!?! It was hard to narrow it down but these are a few of my favorites.

Screams teenager, doesn't it?

Sporting the "Angel Choir Boy" pose 

Yep, I brought a can of spray paint to use as a prop. Love the mischievous look on his face!

Pull back shot
(Don't worry folks, he is perfectly safe. It's called the magic of Photoshop.)

    Great concept, Coley! My almost-15-y/o would LOVE the wall! I adore the "pull back" shot and the photo with the spray can.

    These are so awesome! I really like how the colourful graffiti mixes with the Dr. Seuss illustrations. He definitely looks 15. I hope he likes looking at the finished product.

    Those pictures of Noah are great. I like the last one, but obviously I like that close ups as well. I guess I like the artistic-ness of that last shot. I only ever do close-ups. (does that makes sense?)
