2016 02 16 - Practice Run

My friend's daughter Charlotte has asked me to take some photos of her for her new blog which she is creating to show off teenage fashion and makeup etc. (She is 14) We met up today so that she could give me an idea of exactly what she wanted. I had told her to do a story board and have cuttings from magazines.

She had a photo of a model stepping off some steps and she loved the shot. Here we were trying to re-create it. This of course is nothing like the original but was great fun and helped to relax Lotte in her posing. I loved the way Finlay and Tilly were watching her so closely.

We must make sure we have a better backdrop when we have another go at this shot. I emailed all the shots I took today and she loves them all!! So refreshing after my family who will not pose for me!!

Wonderful action shot...love the two dogs :)

[Junko Y]

I like how you captured her energy, and I see that Findlay and friend are in admiration, too!

[Rachel]

That is great that you have a model! She looks beautiful, and it is great that she asked you to help her with a portfolio.

[Leigh Anne Sanderson]

I am impressed with the drive of this young lady! What fun for you!

[Milanie]

That age is kind of fun to work with when they're the one wanting the pictures. They'll work forever with you. Nice energetic shot.

[Marnie]

I'll bet the dogs are hoping for a treat or a ball in that hand. Lovely action shot.

[Dixie Goode]

This is really a fun picture.

[Taffy]

This works well -- her movement gives interest to the shot and she clearly will be able to pose well!

[Eve Pulsater]

What a pretty young thing. I am sure that you will fulfil her photographic wishes.

[ShirleyB]

Wonderful action shot. Love the way the two dogs are wondering what is happening

[Peggy Sirk]

Oh what fun! Charlotte is beautiful, and exudes personality and energy. So wonderful of you to help her with her project, Pam. She just might become the next Tavi Gevinson...teenage fashion blogger icon.

Fun shot! She does look stylish and self confident!
