(kinda like...where have you been all my life? )

Most of this was captured from the thread/link in my signature....just polished up a bit.

In general, the folks on the forum I wrote it for are not quite as advanced as most of you guys/gals.....and so it is fairly general in nature.

I may follow up with some basic posing...and another on flash gels in the future.

Ohhhhhhh, sorry to hear that (both, hurricane & swamped at work). Hope things will calm down again soon & the hurricane didn't make much damage?!!

I am excited for you on your Sunday shoot. I would never claim to be an expert at this, but I have had some small successes with senior portraits. Just thought I would share some of my observations on that.


Good luck!:D

Thanks Elaine...If there is anything in there that can be of help then it was worth taking to time to write it.

Well we are all caught up, and have everything fully operational. I have actually pushed back some work with seniors to accomodate the work schedule we have been following. I have about two more weeks of it....then hopefully will tackle my first couple of senior sessions for the class of 2009.

In other news, my youngest has a high school homecoming dance this weekend so I will surely be dusting off the camera for that.

Maybe I'll share some of those snapshots next week!

That is very flattering. Dunno if I am worthy of it, but I appreciate it all the same.
