Whew! Finally got these done. My girl really wanted some spring photos in her senior album, so we ended up with a nice 3-season set. Here are some favorites.

1.) Happy to get some shots among the crocuses before they disappeared (short window of time.) These first shots were actually taken in front of a bank!



2.)


3.)


4.) Trying to incorporate at much of "her" as we can. She loves to knit (actually, self-taught!)



5.)


6.)


7.) Her other two loves -- coffee and owls!



8.)

Keepers, Kristin! Really fine work. These will elicit smiles and maybe tears through the years. You can take these to the bank. You captured her beauty and mood.

Just goes to show that you can take a less than idea setting and turn it into shots like these.
Excellent work Kristin.
My only small critique is your logo, just IMHO it is very prominent and distracts from the image. But Im old school bottom left logo placer type person. So disregard if you think thats just silly!
Thanks for sharing.

beautiful work, all are great, I rarely am drawn to black and white the way I am to #6, truly captivating image in all aspects.

I like the fact there is not train tracks or a brick wall with shallow DoF in any of these. I to really like the B&W They look great and she is just beautiful and you captured that.

Thanks so much! She is my really shy one who does not like to model like this, so I know that we (and she) will look back on these fondly.

Thanks, Mike! I think that there are wonderful spots all around us if we open up to the possibilities. All I know is that I wanted those spring perennials. I do get what you say about the watermark, too. It's a tough one as I want to protect my work, but I don't want to ruin the view either.

Thank you, Greg swan! She liked that, too, and we added it to her collage.

Thanks for the kind words, airfrogusmc. I used to use the local tracks (like many,) before realizing the dangers (even though they were dead.) But, yes, they are cliche' as well. This girl had her own ideas and I think it makes her session unique and uniquely "her."

Great shots. I like the hair lighting.

Off topic: She resembles Khloe Kardashian

Great work. She does resemble one of the Kardashian girls, but you're NOT SUPPOSED TO SAY THAT TO HER MOTHER! J/K

I had to look her up! Interesting. Not exactly seeing that, but it's hard for a mother when you are so close to the individual.

Ha! I am not really familiar with the Kardashians, but I know that they have a reputation. Thanks!

Her reluctance to model really comes through! Just kidding. The complicated settings with such a variety of poses indicates a high level of cooperation and participation. Which also means you have a very sweet child. There is none of the self-absorption one sees in all those selfie shots. More of an old time innocence and humility. Lovely work. #3 is one of my faves with the direct gaze and backlighting and great tones in the black and white, nice shallow dof work and selective focus.

Thank you both! Yes, she really hates being a model -- it's probably partly due to Photographer's Child Syndrome.
