amazing. {Portland Senior Photographer}

Amazing person. Amazing shoot. Girl, you are going places. What more can be said? Oh...I know. Mister Sun? Yeah, you. Could you stay out just a wee bit longer next time? A half an hour would be perfect. Thanks.

Remember this? I offer more proof that I am spot on when it comes to this little theory of mine. The other night, this little miss and I snuck around the corner for a little photo action. This is my daintiest of misses. The one who ate her first birthday cake without getting messy. The one who loves picking blueberries and hates picking strawberries, because of the dirt factor. Ok. So skip ahead to the end of our little photo shoot. She informs me that she has an idea and proceeds to lay down on her stomach on a dirty sidewalk, risking all cleanliness and the well being of her favorite top. For what? A pretty picture. Why? Because she is a girl. Girls of all types will do just about anything for a good picture. And this is why I love having six of them. (among other numerous reasons.)

Since this one was about 4, I have had the hardest time getting a good picture of her. The poser, the one who tries so hard and more recently, the one who likes to stick her tongue out or make weird expressions with her eyes in every stinking picture. With her big sister, I fought the rolled eyes. With her, I fought the serious giggles (I mean serious! 75% of her mini-during-soccer-practice-session was spent laughing uncontrollably!) and the "I want to show everyone my teeth post-braces" smile. Even with all of that, I think I captured her real self in a few shots. She just couldn't help it. The top 4 are the ones that, when I look at them, I think "Now that is my Autumn!" And that is why, as a photographer, I have a hard time narrowing down shots. Those 4 might not look like anything special to you, but they are the expressions that I have been seeing for the last nine years from her. I guess that is something that is just a mom thing.

I finally got out to play with my 7d. And, like expected, it is a big step up. I love it!

Now, this is a look that I see a lot at my house.
