Portrait in the Park

Update July 24: I decided to take a second look at this portrait and I turned it into an article on Simple Steps to Better Portraits.

It all started Saturday when this young lady said to her mother “We have great portrait light today. Is Jim available?”  It is interesting to note that she knew from past photo shoots that cloudy bright days made for beautiful portrait light.

Her mother told her I was out of town doing a photography workshop but I would be back in town Sunday. So Sunday we squeezed a short photo shoot in between everyone’s Mother’s Day plans.  Fortunately for all of us, we had nice portrait light on Sunday too. This was the first keeper.
