get pushed #15 - a posed shot

my get pushed partner this week is @spirrow and the push was "I noticed you've only got one posed portrait in October, so I'd like to see some more of those sorts of shots."

having just posted a selfie with partner last month, i'm in no mood to do another one. but my 'sophie la rue' is always willing and able to pose for the camera. i swear this girl is so photogenic, she has a very engaging smile, and a really bubbly personality. very nice kid, head firmly between her shoulders, no swaggering attitude whatsoever. and she's so pretty she would make a good product/commercial model.

thank you for your kind views and comments; know that they are much appreciated.

So sorry for a belated reply - for some reason this didn't show up my notifications. Anyway, this is a lovely shot. I get a real feel for her personality through this; her face is full of such exuberance. Thanks for posting!

[summerfield]

@spirrowshoot - thank you. you haven't done my push?

[Spirrow]

Yes, I tried, but it turned out as a wash of indiscernible color no matter what I did. I may upload something later, but until then I'm going to practice :p

[summerfield]

@spirrowshoot - :-)

[Bill Fenske]

She's got a great smile. Why did you make me tilt my head? :-)
