You engaged her, and I'm loving her genuine smile. Environmental head shot? I like this Landscape orientation; ordinarily, I favor Portrait. Nice b/w, well-composed and executed.

Thanks Jim, Yeah the 35 Lux FLE is my fav 35 of all the 35s I have shot with and I have shot with quite a few over the decades. Good glass is pricey and always holds its value. Especially Leica glass.
That's a lovely, engaging portrait Allen. I think it would be hard to take a bad photo of her, but I can see the trust and rapport with you as evidenced by the natural smile.
To me, the ability to relate to your subject and make them feel comfortable is as important as technical skill. The photos you have posted at FM demonstrate you have both.
I agree that getting folks to relax is all part of the process. And yes she has great skin and is beautiful. Wonderful light also. I just had to not screw it up ha ha.
