she just has that look....


this sweetie will be a senior next year
and
is my sister's niece from her husband's side of the family

since it was such a beautiful day on sunday
~but whoa, the wind~
and
she was in town visiting
i asked her if she wanted to practice for her senior photos next year
which really translates to
"can i practice shooting using your beautiful face and smile"

oh
what a doll she was
and
honestly
the overly windy photo ended up being one of my favorites
which proves to me that any day is a day to shoot
and
practice
~
oh teenagers
you do something amazing to my heart

  6. What a gorgeous girl...and it does look like she is having fun too. You managed to make the challenge of a windy day into an advantage:)

  7. The windy shot is the best! It reminds me of all the times my Mum would be taking photos and say "look natural!" over and over... if only there'd been a bit of wind, it would have "naturalised" the photos no end!

  17. If these were just "practice" photos her "real" senior class pics photographer has a tough act to follow. These are wonderful. She's gorgeous.

  20. I too like the windy pic the best. When the seniors come and show me their pictures, I always like the ones that are a little quirky-less posed.
    You have a gift of capturing a teen's essence. You see so much good in them and your pictures bring those inner qualities to light somehow.
    Teens do something amazing to my heart also--I can't imagine teaching any other age group.
