emily's senior pictures

I took senior pictures for a friend last week.  First time I've taken senior pictures.  Ever.  I don't claim to be a photographer.  Not even close.  But she asked me so I agreed.  Yeah, I was a wee bit excited.  (and since Emily is a good friend, I knew she'd forgive me even if my pictures were less than awesome...  That always helps!)

Of course I then got on Pinterest to look at senior portraits.  (If you're gonna pretend to be a photographer for a day you should at least know what real photographer's pictures look like, right?)  That was super inspiring and a bit overwhelming at the same time...  But it was really helpful to get an idea of what I hoped the pictures would look like.  My pictures aren't as awesome as the ones I saved in my inspiration folder, but I was pretty happy with my results.  For a first timer.  Who is not a photographer.

I ended up taking almost 500 pictures.  That's a lot.  Emily was so patient and cooperative.  Excellent first (and probably last) experience for me.  :)

So here are some of my faves from my photoshoot with Emily.  Isn't she absolutely lovely?

genuine laugh.  I am pretty funny sometimes...  :P

This one may be my absolute favorite.

With her sister Amy my "prop girl" extraordinaire....  :)

So there you have it.  Which is your favorite picture?
