What a cutie! No makeup. Nothing glamorous or over-the-top. Just clean all-natural very pretty young lady. She's a friend of my niece and worked at a fast food place to save for a senior picture (yes, just one because she thought that was all she could afford). She wanted all outdoor shots and nothing fancy -- she plays basketball and raises cows for her FFA project.

Since I'm a softy and have compassion for any young person trying hard to better themselves, I gave her the "Almost-A-Niece" price" when she offered to buy my gas and pay for my time. She now has enough to get wallets and prints for her Grandmas and aunts.

What a great thing you did. Any young person who is working just to pay for something like this for themselves deserves some kind of "break". Thank you for doing this for her.

Nicely done, your kindness and generosity is appreciated. Can you ask her to model for you again? Have a clothing consultation with her. For outdoor shoots, solid colors work best. I find the white lacy thing a little distracting, along with the writing on the shirt. Sleeveless tops not a good thing either. She has a pretty smile but not necessary in every photo. No. 1 & 2 are my favorite. Again, great job and a wonderful thing you did for her.

Ah, these clothes were her best and her favorites. Didn't have the heart to tell her otherwise. She is from an ultra-ultra-conservative family and the cami under the shirts is a requirement for her, although I agree one without lace would have been better. I have many, many more without the wide smile. She has worn her braces six years (and still no end in site) so they are simply a part of her. :-)

I see nothing wrong with the clothes as they do an awesome job of portraying WHO she is!! Too many portraits are of people with clothing that ISN'T them!! I really enjoy environmental portraits of people AS THEY REALLY ARE and you have done an excellent job of capturing the essence of who this young lady really is.

I think the photos are great!
And very nice of you to give her a break.
She is a pretty girl.
A natural beauty.
I would like to see some of the non smiling photos you said you took.
:)
