I have to interrupt this interview with a funny story from Joe's session. See the photo up there with his jacket over his shoulder? While shooting that set, we were stopped several times by on-lookers... wait for it... asking if he was the GROOM. Joe's mom, Sara, after recovering from a mild heat attack, replied with a firm no. Not yet.

For the record, Joe has a quiet, sneaky sense of humor. That said, he was pretty serious during his portrait session. This next photo is one of my favorites... I was acting a fool (in other words, "normal") and his mom was DANCING. In. Public. He really had no choice but to give a little and laugh.
I'm so glad I got to know yet another member of the warm and kind French family. Sara, there's only one left... (sniff)
Best of luck to you, Joe, as you spread your wings.... and oars... at Madison next year.
