Boys Will Be Boys in South Jersey
What does it mean to be a boy? Oh, boy. I love boys. I have one of my own. There's always a certain kind of magical element watching your child grow and to see the testosterone starting and play its role in their ongoing physical and emotional development. Boyhood is a time where you explore, play, wander on adventures, and develop such an unexplained curiosity for the world around you.I think what is even more special with these boys, is that they are brothers. You see their "brotherhood" in which is defined as this (when you look it up in the dictionary)... A friendship that cannot be compared to any other, built out of sincerity and love, will always have each others backs. You see this in these images. The love and mutual respect, they as brothers, have for one another. Which is why I absolutely loved this session! You see the bond that they have screaming out loud and clear, in these images.
