Default For the love of music...

My first senior in awhile - brave girl - it's cold here.

She was a lot of fun though - I think we could have easily shot for another hour, but we both had places to be.

Here are a couple of my favs; the rest of my favs in my flickr.

Thanks for letting me share!

(I have since fixed a little of the vignette around the bottom right corner - thought it was a little too much).

Lovely shots! The first photo's composition and concept is great. Her facial expression is kinda manic though.. But the second one....ah, that's just awesome! There's nothing but good in that one! Thanks for sharing. ^^

Thanks! I do think something's not natural looking with the first. I have other variations, but I liked the layout of that one the best...will keep playing

I find ALL the shots in your session absolutely beautiful! She's got awsome eyes and face, and you've got enormous talent and good taste. Thanks for sharing.

I LOVE the first one! I wish someone had done something like that 4 years ago when I had my Senior shots done!

Agree she is a very pretty girl and thanks for the comments - I think my style is finally starting to develop. It was hard at first to find something that's me and still learn. for the longest time I was happy just getting a correct exposure in manual mode

thanks - I've been trying to work on new background ideas - tough sometimes without a studio or backdrop - but way more fun!

I really like both shots. The first one looks as though you surprised her. The second is classically gorgeous. Very well done. I especially like the background choice.
abelkt, back when my senior pics were done, they were still painting on cave walls, with berries! LOL
