This past week I've spent a little time taking senior portraits for the daughter of a friend. We had a lot of fun taking some chances and trying some different poses and I thank her for indulging me. This one was just for fun and I'm only sharing because her face is turned away. Today's digital world makes it easy to play with photos and get some fun results. This one for example became instantly more dramatic and edgy just by taking it from color to black and white. It looks like we had a wind machine on site and we sorta did ~ the mother nature variety! Not the best time for a photo shoot, in the dead center of the day with the wind howling but we made the best of it. Congrats MacKenzie on your new senior status!
Yes! Nice shot.

The "proof" is beautiful, and so is the young lady. Nice shot.

What fun to have a photo shoot! Waaay back in high school, an older sister of one of my friends was a model and had a huge wardrobe of fantastic clothes. She used to let us dress up and do little photo shoots in her outfits.
You've got a great picture there - love the black and white!

She must delighted with this photo; she looks so sophisticated and mature. Wonderful shot!

Oh, how fun Amy! That would have been my idea of a great time growing up. Such a good memory to have. Thanks for the compliment on the pic.

Thank you Val. She does like this shot though it won't make the cut for the yearbook. I agree she looks pretty grown up and sophisticated.... It's hard to believe, I still think of her running around in pj's watching Disney movies!

I love experimenting like this too so good on you! It's nice when the client is willing to 'play' a bit. About shooting mid day -- in certain cases, there just is no choice, especially grad day. Nicely done.
