SUCH a beautiful girl. This young woman was one of the models at a workshop I went to recently and she was just amazing. I love getting to work with girls this age. They are so self-possessed and just hovering on that paper thin line between childhood and adulthood and over the course of a session you can see them go back and forth between the two.
I have two beautiful young women who volunteered to be my senior reps this year (or, rather, next year). This woman is SO much fun. She hardly stopped laughing the entire session and has SUCH a gorgeous smile. And, really, how can you not love someone who brings a Buddha to her session? Thank you for being just such a delight to photograph; I should have your goodies out to you soon!
What? Like you’ve never been hired by a llama? Don’t llamas deserve portraits too?
I went to my first photography workshop this weekend and I’m still recovering. The other photographers were awesome and I ate brains.
No. Really. Jen Snyder, who is my long lost dork twin, ordered “lobster with sweet breads” at dinner the first night. Sweet breads are brains. Who knew? She didn’t, and neither did I. They taste like garlic.
Back to the photographers. Summer was so much fun. She does some of the most beautiful color newborn work I’ve ever see and she can get joy out of the most recalcitrant child. Leiba was the coolest, most inspiring wench imaginable and Zoe, who organized the workshop, shoots the most beautiful scenes and intimidates the hell out of me because she is just that good. As for the teacher, well, I am Cheryl Jacobs‘ crazy stalker and some day she’s going to find me living under her porch so I can pluck every last bit of knowledge from her brain.
Brains. Mmmmmm….
So, we took a lot of pictures – go figure at a photography workshop – and this particular child was one of my favorite models because she was such a bit of mischief. And those freckles!
I call this one “Her Ladyship Sits for Her Portrait.”
Expect more of more kids as the days go by…
After a slew of babies I got to go out and shoot a teenager the other day. No NO. With a camera. Sheesh. And she was GORGEOUS. We’d had to reschedule once because she had a driver’s test that, in classic DMV style, had not happened on time. But, thanks to the reschedule, we got to go out during the gorgeous light of the end of the day.
Senior rep is a good gig. I get 1 or 2 high school seniors to model and they get brag books, 411 cards and discounts on prints as well as referral cash for every session they send me. I have one more rep to shoot this week and then it’s onto full on senior portrait season.
Oh, wait… you want to SEE this beautiful young woman. Oh. Well. I suppose I could manage that…
Let’s face it, there are only so many pictures you can hang on the wall and put in frames on shelves. But there you are, faced with a gallery of 30+ images going “OK, so one for my desk, and one for your desk, and one for my mother and… but I want them ALL!”
One of my favorite ways to have them all is the image box. What, you ask, is an “image box”? Well, it’s a box. Oh, you’d figured that part? It has one of the prints from your session on the front and more prints inside. Kind of like this:
The prints can be mounted on archival matboard so you can display one at a time on an easel.
If you decide on mounted images you are limited as to how many you can have as, well, it is unlikely that all the images from your session would FIT in a box once they were mounted. If you want regular, unmounted prints you get them all because, quite simply, they’ll all fit.
With the most unique comments in the month of April, Sweet Little Girl won the voting contest. Please pick one of these for your mounted 11X14 wall portrait.
Our VERY CLOSE runner up, who had more total votes but fewer in the month of April, was Itty Bitty Sleepy Girl. I’ll send you a surprise runner up prize (I mean, you were SO close) so watch the mail for a package later this month!
