When a client tells me she wants to book at session at the George Eastman house, I can't help but be thrilled!  I mean how much classier does it get?  Saturday I photographed Allyson in the beautiful gardens of the home.  It was a scorcher outside, but in the shaded areas of the grounds we were able to capture some magnificent shots.  Ally is such a sweet girl, and was so easy to work with.  She was open to everything I suggested, and had some really good ideas of her own!  As I began to edit her photos, I was blown away by how different she looked in so many of the shots.  In some of the images she has the sweet innocence of a young girl, and in others, she nailed a super-model stare down.  

There's so much I love about my job.  One of them is that I get to create an experience that will be remembered for years to come.  Her mom and I were talking about how different the whole experience of senior pictures is now, in comparison to years ago.  The days of a lame studio session and stiff poses are long over.  Today's portrait sessions are fun, personal and anything but "stiff".  

Another one of the things I love most about my job is the connections I get to make with people.  I love hearing about their experiences, the plans my seniors have for their futures and then seeing the excitement as I show them back of the camera images, and the final product as they view their galleries.  

I am proud of what I do, and so excited that I get to do it.  What a dream come true!
