I have had the great pleasure of knowing Brennan for many years through his grandparents, dear friends of ours. It's been so fun to watch him grow up and see him get involved in all areas of interest, but none more so than soccer. They would talk about how his team was doing and how skilled he was (from his start in the sport at four). They traveled near and far to his games cheering him on. I got to know his mom as well and enjoyed seeing her social media posts of his progress.
His hard work and athletic skills have seen him through playing and learning with several teams and programs. He started playing with the Club (which was formally Empire United Development Academy) in 2012 and most currently is with the U19 RNYFC MLS Next Academy and U23 Rochester NYFC UPSL League. What an exciting prospect for this young man's future. Speaking of his future, he plans to attend the University of Albany for Business Administration and play for the Men’s College NCAA D1 soccer team. His long-term future goal is to continue playing at the highest level.
During Brennan's Deluxe Session, we traveled to two locations. He and mom wanted a "nice" spot for the regular images and another place for soccer pictures. Warner Castle is a wonderful location because it provides gardens, varied architecture and interesting elements for an elevated portrait experience. He did a terrific job and was very comfortable and relaxed during our time together. We were excited to get to the soccer field and get him in his element so I found a field that was perfect for what we needed. I know the family was pleased with the results of all the images. So was I!
I'm glad I'll be able to continue to watch this talented, dedicated man on his journey through his mom and grandparents and wish him all the best with everything he does. Brennan, have an awesome life! It sure looks bright!!!
Thanks to he and his family for choosing Hayes Photography and make sure to leave Brennan a congratulatory message below.
