Photography

I recently was given the opportunity and honor of shooting the Senior Portraits for a young lady who was graduating with Brianna. They have known each other since the 3rd grade. Her family has been thru some rough times as well, and so when she asked if I was up to doing a photo shoot with her, I couldn't say no. I packed up the camera bag, got my water and my cane and charged the battery. The morning dawned- sunny, cool and bright...but by the time we met to shoot at 2 pm...the clouds had moved in, and I was truly afraid we were going to get rained on. 
In addition- the first of our selected locations was the L&N station...which was hit hard by the storms/tornadoes the end of April, and most of the area was closed off for construction and repair. But we took advantage of the beautiful grillwork on the staircase and the stained glass windows and  took a few shots. Then we headed down into World's Fair Park to see what we could get. The clouds actually provided us some great shots, as we didn't have to worry as much about shadows and glare, but it was the most walking I had done in almost a year!! She brought a couple changes of clothes, and I sat and rested when she changed.
We shot for almost 5 hours. I could barely move when we were done- but I wanted to be sure we got some good shots...When I came home to edit- I was thrilled!! I am going to post this now, as I am putting together a slide show of Blaze's Senior Pics, as soon as it is ready, I will attach it!
But the best part of the day was that this sweet, lovely young woman has about 60 images that she can proudly choose from and share to celebrate with those she loves. And we spent a lovely day doing something I had forgotten that I missed!
Photo slide show to come!
