One of the hockey families we came to know this year has a ‘hockey sister’ who is also a talented photographer. Her name is Lauren Schreefel. She took a photo of her brother, Jared, under unusual lighting circumstances one day, and it came out so well that she offered to do this for each member of the team for our yearbook. The yearbook is a hockey tradition, where pictures are collected as well as information on each player, and this is assembled into identical binders, one for each player, and given out at the year end party. Anyway, Lauren was able to recreate the lighting, but the hard part was getting all the boys to NOT smile at the camera. I really like this picture since it is so unusual. Adam, as you know, has a bright personality, and you can sort of see it leak through in the tiny smirk he has, but the lighting and the pads make for a really cool setting. Thanks, Lauren!
