Default More portraits.

Had some more friends model for me. Had yet another blast These friends were much more difficult to shoot however than the people I've shot so far, but I'm hoping the shots came out ok. I'll post some more once I finish them.

You'll never know til you ask! I SWEAR to you, asking is the hardest part. Its like asking a girl on a date. I get so self concious.

"So, uh, you know, if you're not, uh, busy later, maybe you and I could, you know, go take some pictures or something? Only if you're down, if you're not that's totally ok."

I will tell you that girls are way more agreeable to taking pictures than my guy friends. Most of my guy friends will take pictures with their girls but don't want to by themselves.

But I think if you ask you'll get someone to say yes.

You have a good eye for portraits. I particularly like the first one.

Hey if you want we could swap models. You'v seen them before. Mine go Bzzzzzzzzzz Bzzzzzzz and don't stop moving around. In addition mine are much less attractive.

Nice sun glare in the second photo.

I agree that it is sometimes uncomfortable asking friends to go and take some pictures. It is just as, if not more, awkward to ask that than perhaps to ask a lady to go on a date.

Oh I've seen your models.... they sometimes fly right up to me just to see how much they can make me squeal like a girl LOL.

Totally agree. Oh and thanks for the compliment on the photo, I was pretty pumped it came out without a fill flash! Tried a couple of the same shot with the on camera flash on its lowest setting but it still blew her out!

Thanks! I've been giving everyone who's taken pictures with me a couple of 8x10s and a couple of 4x6s as a thank you. I'm hoping they'll want more. lol
