May 28, 2011

Last weekend I had my first "real" portrait session, taking photos of a beautiful little girl.  Most of the pictures were candid, but some were a wee bit posed. 
Some of my favorites were pictures of her picking flowers.  We also gave her some bubbles to blow - always a great picture! - and even strapped fairy wings to her (she's 6) which looked adorable.  We moved to the driveway so that she could jump rope and I could get some action shots.  She refused to put on a dress or to even get her splash pool, but still had so much fun and the pictures turned out great.  I think that my absolute favorite pictures I got were a series we did to mimic a scene from A Hard Day's Night where George has his picture taken while making funny faces.  You can see it here on Youtube.  We took more than 4...  I think there were 18 or 19 photos in the collage. 

I came up with an idea for a series of pictures focusing on "love" - the letters, not so much the emotion (lol).  I tried out one thing, I have ideas for more but it will be a while before I get to them.

Otherwise, I'm looking forward to a trip to New Orleans and hopefully Avery Island this month for more photos (and I've been dying to go to New Orleans for a while now).  Everything just feels so much better in NOLA.  I'm also thinking of going back to the Rural Life museum for the gardens some time soon. 

Here is the picture I was talking about earlier:
