We had photographed Shealy before when she was part of a theatrical production by A Time to Dance in Monument, Colorado. She was one of the main actors in the production, and she. was. awesome. So, we were super excited to work with this young lady, not only because she was beautiful, expressive and talented...but those are all really good reasons. And after a fun afternoon capturing this lovely, we were treated to a most fabulous sunset. Perfect.
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.
