I was so excited to be doing my niece's Senior Pictures! She came here all the way from California and I was hoping to make it the best time ever! She didn't really have an idea what she wanted to do, so I was trying to come up with all these fun things to do... and you would think that would be exciting to help her figure it out, but it was just all this added pressure. What if everything I came up with was lame?? And I didn't really want to be the lame aunt... So in my panic, I covered her in paint powder and told her to smile.
I think one of the hardest things about photographing teens is knowing when or how much to make them smile. Some teens are just smiley, but when they're not, there's a thin line of having them smile. Moms always love the smiling ones, so I have to get those... When you're photographing a family member that line is even thinner on the smiling thing and to be honest a little scary! Because they can turn off and be irritated a lot quicker than normal. And personally, I love non-smiling pictures, but the moms... they are always expecting some smiling ones...
And I really love this one! So finger's crossed her mom likes this one too!
