I’ve had the opportunity to work with Isaac more than once and he has impressed me from the start with his incredible manners, friendly demeanor, and enthusiasm to execute whatever ideas I’ve had for images. Even though asking him to full on smile at the camera makes him actually laugh at himself and look away from me (I still captured it 😎) he brings confidence and a positive energy you can almost feel. I would almost go as far to say that he wears his heart on his sleeve and that is a form of sincerity I really appreciate. He clearly knows what is important to him in life- the people in it. As a mom who’s son is only 5, meeting guys like Isaac gives me hope that my son can still be very family oriented and true to himself when he grows up. Enjoy Isaac’s interview and a few images from his sportrait sessions representing two different lacrosse teams.
