Alive here . . . and well. Sorry about the lack of posts. I have written many in my imagination, and just haven’t had the time to make them real. I have restructured my day a bit, and it means less time on the computer during primetime-kiddo-time. So far it is going well, but it means that during my work time I have to get down to business, and there’s not a lot of time left for blogging. Anyway– I have been SO excited to get these pictures of beautiful P. up here . . . enjoy!

{Isn’t she radiant? The breeze picked up JUST as I clicked the shutter. }

Thanks to P. and her lovely sister assistants- her mom and sis . . . it was such a great shoot, and I am thrilled at how many stunning images we created! Good luck with graduation this upcoming week!!

Technical stuff: all of these shots were captured with a canon 5d, 70-200 f/2.8L, in natural light between 7-8pm (most of them in the shade with the use of a soft gold reflector to bounce a little bit of light back into her eyes). Yes, I am in love with the new lens–it is a dream. I have quickly forgotten that it weighs 3.5 pounds.

D. was pretty excited about turning 18 the next day, and about going to prom the day of our shoot. He was all decked out in his black tux–but he left his tie at home for a bit more dress-casual look. Then again, maybe he just forgot it? 😉

So we set off on an urban adventure. The shoot even included a few images with his lovely camaro. One really fun thing about seniors is that they are ready for an adventure, and they don’t usually have a notion of how a shoot is “supposed” to be. It makes it all the more feasible to create unique images for them, all the while allowing their individual personalities to shine through. This was certainly the case this day.
