Holly - senior session

Every once in a while, you get someone so photogenic, you don't want to stop shooting. That was me today working with Holly. I don't do senior photos often so I was excited to me this young gal and even more excited when I saw her. She's naturally gorgeous and full of life.

I tend to schedule most of my photo sessions in late afternoon because of the variation and direction of the light. Well, tonight, I was shooting until after the sun went down because I enjoyed working with Holly so much. She did not have an agenda, she just let me do my thing. I had so much fun. We walked around downtown and made a pit stop at the Amway Grand so she could change outfits and fix her hair. At one point, I insisted on this a pose that I am fairly certain she was not in favor of but, I finally talked her into it. A few shots later, I turned the back of the camera toward her so she could see a preview and she lit up. I think, at that point, she became as excited as I was. 

Normally, I don't post a blog the same day of a shoot but, I couldn't help myself.

I recently photographed a wedding for a friend of my sister. I had been looking forward to this solo gig for a while. The ceremony took place at Lynell Park off West River Dr. We were worried that it might rain but, again, we lucked out. Looking back at these photos, I now wish I would've been more creative with the cloudy skies and the fish ponds at the park. My only excuse was that we were loosing light fast because of the weather and had to get to the reception on time. The reception was at English Hills Country Club. The food was good and everyone worked their way onto the dance floor.

Here's a preview...
