Nathan R - Missionary Pictures

Before I have a bunch of darling ladies emailing me for his phone number, I must put a disclaimer here saying he is unavailable for the next two years. He is getting ready to serve an LDS (Mormon) mission to Argentina. (Sorry, ladies! Check back in 2013!)

I've known this handsome young man and his family for the past five years. I didn't realize how tall he had grown until we went to take these pictures! (He towers over me--I believe he said he is now 6'2"! That is quite a change from when I first met him at 13 years old!) 

We had a great time taking these pictures on Tuesday in Provo, Utah. He was up for all kinds of pictures...and didn't mind the weird looks we got during the photo shoot. 

I had to snap one of him sending a text message. Text messages are such a normal part of a teenager's life now-a-days. (In my day, I had a pager! When my friends called me, my best friend Jenna and I would have to pull over to find a pay phone to return a call.) Things sure have changed in 10 years!

 LOVE these black and white images.

I have to end this post with a funny one of him pretending to squish the sun. We took this at the top of a hill in Provo, near a busy street. We had at least 10 cars honk or yell a comment ("say cheese!") while we were shooting. Thanks for being a trooper, Nate! More pics to come in the proofing gallery!
