rockin the orchard

I was SO nervous, but SO flattered! When I first moved here to Utah, I asked the mom of this little girl if I could borrower her for some photo practice.

We had so much fun and I learned alot! I wasnt sure how she felt about them, but recently she called me and told me she loved them and asked if I would take her sons senior pictures! I tried my best to prepare, thinking of the best locations, what light would be best, what poses would be most natural, etc,etc, I was feeling so very nervous. The shoot was Tuesday night and I dont think I've ever had so much fun. This is one polite and F.U.N kid! They say practice makes perfect, and I am SO happy I had the chance to do this!

You ROCKED it! This guy looks GREAT in his senior photos, and the first pic is wonderful too. You are too funny how nervous you get, and yet you always do a great job!!

Great photos! Looking back on my own Senior photos, I just have to laugh. Even though they were done in a professional studio, they were so corney! They didn't even capture "Who" I was. I love that you took his in multiple setting and looking at them I feel like I know what his personality is like. Now that's the work of a pro! :)
