katie.

I have to be honest: I didn't get the best start on this portrait session. Fighting sleep, the elements, and copious amounts of traffic, I was a little frazzled when I arrived to shoot this gorgeous gal, my first senior in the class of 2010.
A funny thing happens when you have the coolest gal in the world to shoot -- you forget all that was wrong with the day and just focus on capturing her beauty. We quickly jumped into our session and started talking and laughing and having a blast.


Katie is one of those girls that's just darn cool. She was an excellent subject, taking direction and posing as if she'd done it her whole life.

And the thing I love most is that she was adventurous. If I asked her to climb up something, she did, despite the fact that she had on four inch stillettos. Lean on a hot piece of metal, hold it while it sears your flesh? You got it.

I had a great time in this session, and am enjoying going through all of the images. The problem is, when you have someone that doesn't take a bad photo, it's hard to narrow them down to a reasonable number to work with. At least I don't have the burden of picking the one for the yearbook (sorry Katie). The rest of the photos from the session can be viewed here.
