Shoot

On Saturday, we went to get more corn to freeze and to scout out more photo shoot locations. Our nephew James was coming on Sunday for me to do his senior pictures, so I wanted to have an idea of where to take them. Serena was my willing subject, so we spent a somewhat rainy afternoon shooting pictures in many locations.

Sunday was spent with James and his mom, going from place to place, shooting all kinds of pictures. When all was said and done, I took over 300 pictures! He's quite athletic (ripped, I guess they call it), so we took lots of "muscle poses". It was fun for me, having shot mostly girls so far. It was a 6 hour photo shoot, though, and I was whipped at the end of it. Steve was my trusty assistant. In fact, he was the one who inspired me to get into photography years ago when his own photos blew me away! He took lots of great pics of James too...and captured him well.

The most important thing was that we all had a laughter-filled day, and James loves all of his pictures! I have enjoyed getting to know our nieces and nephews by being allowed to photograph them. It really is a great way to learn their personalities. It was great practice for me too. I've been told many many times to make it my profession. I don't know...I think I like having fun with it and not calling it a "job" so far.
