I have known my young friend here since she was 11 and used to visit my shop with her puppy after school. Even at that young adolescent age it was easy to see she was going to be a beauty as she grew up.
Well now at 15 - lets just say I would have KILLED to look like her when I was that age. After taking these photos, out of curiosity I pulled out some old photos from my high school years. Sufficed to say - awkward would be the best word to describe me at that age. I like to think I grew into my face - so to speak - but still it is a face better left to behind the camera!
My beautiful friend is also very poised and relaxed in front of the camera - which is always a plus, and her face has a natural symmetry that makes her very photogenic as you can see here.
We shot these on a Sunday afternoon around the neighborhood, using natural light and occasionally a gold reflector. This one was wonderful because the natural light was shining on a gray flat building/ wall behind me and the light reflected from there and aimed a soft glow on her face. It's the kind of natural lighting luck/timing that photographers dream about.
