Okay......I finally had someone legitimately hire me to do some portrait work.

This young lady is a previous "Shooting Victim" and good friend as well as my hair stylist (Lost cause that I am! LOL!!!).

She has seen it and loves it, so I'm in a good frame to be receptive as it's a done deal, so if anyone has any hints, tips, technical suggestions/advice, I'm all ears.

I was surprised at how nervous and apprehensive I was at the time, and it was hard to be cheery and upbeat to not transfer my nervousness to the session.

She's a good sport and a terrific subject in my completely unbiased, professional opinion.....LOL!!!

It's obviously an 8x10 in real life, and I just put the border on it to make the "Border Police" twitch, but it's pretty true to what it is on paper.

Thanks in advance.

It looks good. I know how nervous you were, I did my first portrait shoot for a parent that wasn't happy with her sons senior photos. Not only was I nervous to do the shoot, but when I went to the convention center I was using for it they were having an unscheduled promotion cerimony where I had originally planned to shoot. (on an Army Base) It all turned out perfect. The senior was great in front of the camera and I found out he had actually done some modeling before. The only sugetion I have is to get a piece of white fome core board to use as a reflector if for nothing else than to put catch lights in your subjects eyes.
