A few weeks back Benjamin contact me about doing some photos, not for any real specific purpose. He did however tell me he wanted to put some emphasis on the beard that he is currently growing partly for No Shave November and partly for the role he is playing in our Church production coming up in a few weeks. Needless to say we landed on the lumberjack. So with plaid, axe, and pancakes in hand (and a beard on the face on Benjamin) we trekked into the wilderness that is somewhere in Grapevine.

One of the questions I ran into while editing these photos was “How do you edit a photo of a lumberjack?” So I googled it, just like any other American who has a question and no real person to ask. Turns out all the lumberjack photos online are cartoons. So this was very much a “edit how it looks best” bunch. Regardless, I’m so thrilled with how they came out!

In old folklore stories it is stereotypical of lumberjacks to eat flapjacks. Needless to say, Benjamin enjoyed his.

and last but not least:

Thanks for being just a great Lumberjack Benjamin!
