Petti

It's a tough gig modeling! These are from a few weeks back. It was hot, she was tired and I found a nice shaded spot with some nice light.
I'm working on so many things, watch the light, make sure it's in focus, don't amputate the girl, then I get stuck on how to compose the image. I keep telling myself "patience grasshopper, patience". Settings as follows 28-75mm 2.8, 50mm focal lenght, f7.1, 1/500, iso 800 (dang no idea why so high).

LOL, this is the child you're bringing on Sunday? I'm thinking maybe I should bring some cookies or brownies, or something *wink* She looks utterly thrilled! That said, she is adorable!

I love your "patience grasshopper" statement. I need to repeat that to myself too.

Lauren, I'm praying she's a happy girl on Sunday. I'll be bringing bribes along to coax her (shame on mommy)!

I've seen that expression - its pretty standard with teens. See, you used an ISO of 800 and your picture still looks great - with me, it would have blown out the pink, white shoes, etc. I think we all need a 'patience grasshopper' bracelet.

Oh she looks thrilled to be a photographers daughter. LOL. Great pettie and converse. I think a kids this age give that look.
