one shot from todays senior portrait sitting...

When asked about the mole she said leave it on... Had a great time shooting her on her grandparents lake home. Even got to shoot her fully clothed in the water for something different. Will post the set when I get to this group of pics...

AMAZING eyes on the model. Gorgeous! I like the picture BUT that hair is CRAZY!! I mean I'm sure you can't go back and fix it now, the session is already over but just for future reference.

Edit: Oh and the lighting is superb as well

Good point about the hair. Guess I was sooooo excited about having a naturally pretty subject I just was shooting anything. Maybe others from this pose / location will be better.

Thanks for looking and commenting.

ok, decided to do a few more quick edits b4 bed tonight. The water shots were just for fun and are not really "senior ports". She wasnt much of a smiler, and when prompted to, it didnt look natural so thats why she looks so unthrilled. I bet with time and a few sessions, she could really make my photography look good.

1. On this one I thought to make it B&W but decided to bring the color back just a tad. Never did that with any of my pics before. Hows it look?

2. I know this one is so wrong technicly. She was in shade and the background was sunlit, so to get her exposed decent, I had to over expose. I know there are ways to get it right, but this was just a fun shoot. I thought this turned out ok.

3.Again never tried this before, but how could I let a long haired girl in the water get away without trying this shot...

4. No words needed...

Number is 2 is my fav but I would dodge out the rest of the background completely! Number 3 is good, but her hands in the water is not doing it for me.

She is stunning. I'm sure she'll love her senior portraits.

ehh.. a little saucy for a senior portrait session IMO. But, nice work.

saucy is my middle name.

I like to push the envelope.

Definately provacative but I like the last one the best.

Very nice pics, and the only one that is fairly saucy, IMO, would be the last one.

My son's a senior, and you should see some of the stuff his GF and her friends wear....these pics are tame. Either I wasn't paying enough attention, or they just didn't build 'em like that when I was in school....

I love #3, but I do agree about the hands. The lighting is fab on your original one you posted! Wish I could get mine to look like that!

She is beautiful. Your first shot is my fav. I am left wondering what her natural smile looks like when she is relaxed. How does one go from shooting a young womans senior portrait to hair tossing in the water? LOL

Her natural smile was not so pretty. (putting it mildly) One whole side of her face became a dimple. Hard to explain. Ill find one or two and post them in here. Even when she smiled or laughed not for the camera, it looked forced.
