What fun!!!! Love the whole set, Cheryl!

Nice work with the models, definitely. Your impromptu portrait is great - terrific pose, he looks very contemplative.

The water balloons are a hoot!

Thanks Terri. The photography group is a FB group that meets up with models a few times a year. I've gone to a few and everyone is helpful. I shadowed a few seasoned portrait photographers that day to hear how they direct the models. The models are pros to beginners and I felt comfortable after awhile directing poses.

Contemplative was what I was going for on the friend's pose. He took direction well on the other poses too.

The grands had a fun time with the water balloon shots. I try to think up fun things for them or if I see something online I save to an idea folder on my phone.
