This girl makes me look good. And I loved the session for so many reasons. 1- she’s done some modeling. So she’s easy in front of the camera. Even beautiful people get awkward and she just didn’t. 2- Her sister is married to my brother. So I know her family pretty well. One of my favorite things about portraits is seeing the person on the other side of the camera in a different way than usual. On this day, I was able to see the parts of Hallie that are her mom and the parts that are her dad and it was breath-taking. 3- Her mom and sister came to the session. I love them. 4- Hallie’s mom is a photographer. She wasn’t so much interested in the smiling at the camera, head shot-type image. She wanted me to be fully creative and artistic! How freeing and rare!!!
This phase of life is exciting and beautiful and care-free and fun and I think we captured that here…
