Brianne had some definite ideas about what she wanted for her senior portraits. "Something with columns and stairs, like the capitol building", and "something kind of outdoorsy"...okay, no problem. "And something on the track (she runs track for TCA)...kind of like a Nike poster." O....kaaaay. Man, I'm so glad she asked for that--we really loved shooting those portraits--lots of fun. It was cool, also, because when we did get down the the track, she put her game face on--I thought she was going to run through the camera. Intense. In fact, she built up so much intensity, she had to run a lap and get it out (very. fast). Thanks, Brianne--you rocked our world!
We wanted to get a photo of Taylor doing her thing--hitting softballs really, really hard. But the angle we wanted was low and kind of in the line of fire. It required laying down on the field and trusting her to crack balls past you. Anything for the shot. Also, though, it was clear from the beginning that this young lady was in her element. A very precise hitter, and we lack the scars to prove it. Know what's not fair, though? Put that same young lady in a dress? In dress casual? Lovely.
