Stuart's Eagle Scout Ceremony

Today I had the privilege of photographing my sister-in-law's brother's Eagle Scout ceremony. I had never been to an Eagle Scout ceremony before, so I wasn't totally sure what to expect, but there were so many neat moments that I wound up shooting over 1,000 photos. I went through and picked my absolute favorites to post (a little preview for his parents!).
I saw Stuart's little hiking boots and knew I wanted to do something with them to show how young he was when he started his Boy Scout "career".
Apparently he has a lot more badges... they just wouldn't all fit on his sash!
Stuart and his dad are both lifelong Boy Scouts.
