Crazy! Post #150….wow. In 20 months. 7.5 posts per month. I can do better. I don’t blog enough. And I really do enjoy it. Time just zooms by so fast I lose track – but I LOVE sharing with you!
Ok – on to today’s post – Shaunna! We met this past Saturday and walked around the sea wall area for her senior photo shoot. You know, it’s funny. I’ve definitely done a few shoots at the sea wall (and out in town in general)…and every time there are certain spots that are classics and that I really need to do. Not that they aren’t different depending on the subjects or the weather, but you know what I mean. But there are also new discoveries. On EVERY urban shoot. Each client has a unique spot or type of photo in their gallery because we’re covering these places out in town. On foot. For example…
I do live in this neighborhood…and I’ve been dying to take a portrait at this wall. Shaunna’s choice of yellow bag and turquoise scarf didn’t hurt in making this a prime location! Or her matching blue eyes…WOW.
Shaunna’s considering going to college in places like Alaska and Montana. She loves the winter. (Not so much of that in Okinawa!) In the early morning when we started, it was such a gorgeous day – but a bit chilly. She was so happy in a t-shirt with wind-kissed cheeks!
Shaunna is the youngest of three, and she brought her mom with her for the shoot. (Sigh – SO sweet.) Well Mom got extra points for coming back down from Okuma before dawn that morning to be here in time for the shoot! (Annette, you’re fantastic! Thank you for coming along.) Down the road was a bright yellow wall – and you know, one of her favorite colors (NOT just because she goes to Kadena High) is YELLOW.
This series makes me giggle and cry all at the same time.I know how you feel, Annette.
This black sweater sure did make her eyes pop. And around every bend there was GLOOORIOUS light! (Come on, fellow photogs, you understand. That light that you wish would stay all day long.) Oh my goodness…
KAPOW – my favorite. For now. Ask me later, I might have a different one. Mom, you were so right. Classic beauty.
OOH, there! Another yellow wall! CAP AND GOWN TIME!
I could’ve stayed out all day with this one. Can you blame me?
In her first email to me, she said she wanted some photos at Family Mart. I get it – and I LOVE it. It’s like the mall was for me as a Jersey Girl teen. But with peach water and onigiri.
Now how many seniors have THAT in their photos?
Well, I could post these all day, but must get back to editing the rest. THANK you so much, Shaunna & Annette! I had a blast with you (if you couldn’t tell) and will be done soon!
Perhaps another before & after post soon – what do YOU want to see?? Comment and let me know!
