senior informal shot....
and she wants to be in a field of sunflowers...the mamoth ones preferably, but at this point I can't locate any... but do have some TALL ones..
I thought about using a ladder to raise her above them...but don't want it to look like 'hmm, she must be on a ladder'...
everything I think of sounds like a 'snapshot'...
would appreciate any ideas!

| Why not use the ladder for yourself to get above the flowers. |

No, you want to be above her so that the background of the picture is all sunflowers and not the trees or buildings behind the field of flowers. You should be able to space her between the rows of flowers fairly easily. If need be, use a short footstool to bring her up a little.
I shot this one of my kids in a field of dwarf sunflowers from a ladder to get the best background. My son was on a short footstool.

No. I didn't mean too. Just you. As Tim said, this will allow you to fill the frame with the sunflowers. |

awesome example Tim...
and now I can 'see' it..
only problem is the sunflowers may be taller than her....so then we both would have to be elevated....

If necessary, yes but make sure you are up higher than she is. Good luck and post a couple after you are done.
Tim
PS: I also used a flash because of the strong backlighting (side light) in my examples.
