A rep, an intern, the works!

This is "C", my new rep for a local (finally!) high school, as well as hopefully doing a little intern work with me this school year. We had a great time finding some new spots and stealing chairs during this session. I've got a couple of new favorite shots out of it, too!

She has such a natural look and air about her, I love it!

A very special session

I'd like to say this was an official "Think Pink" session, but I can't get them to respond to my inquiries about donating my services. Regardless, I was asked by a friend and uh...well she's the very cheerful receptionist at my salon. Does that make her a business acquaintance? She's facing a really tough time in her life with more optimism and good spirit than I face a typical Monday with. She's certainly taught me a great lesson. I can't wait to do her remission portraits.

And this gorgeous girl

Wanted some headshots for a modeling application *fingers crossed*. She definitely has my vote! Tall, beautiful, and told some of the best/worst jokes I've heard in a while, which makes her a winner in my book. Helen Keller, indeed.

So far behind...

I haven't blogged any new work stuff in a while, and it's not for lack of work! First off, these are from a wedding I helped a local photog friend with (Melissa Zihlman Photography). Mostly the shots I had to catch that evening were fairly run of the mill, but I did get a few that I'm proud of. Rest assured, however, that I am NOT interested in doing weddings!

Let there be light!

I got a new toy! Studio lighting! It came yesterday and I set it all up to test it out today. What fun this is going to be, especially this holiday season (I hope). It's a whole new thing to learn, but I'm so excited about figuring it all out!

Here are a few test shots on Gillian from today. I'm blown away by how sharp and clear the focus is. I didn't do any web-sharpening on these at all.

And yes...she's going through an awkward teeth phase. Poor kiddo.
