I'm Not a Portrait Photographer

But Katie is such a great model, she makes me feel like I could be! We went down to the Delaware River today to take pictures for her to use as promotional material for her Sr. recital. In spite of her initial desire for a sunny day and blue skies, I managed to get her to see how a misty, foggy day could be used to her advantage.

This is lovely, Ann. You've done a great job - and Katie looks amazing.

[Yao RL]

I love your composition, sometimes, there is no need to have a full body view. What a beautiful lady.

[Nicole Campbell]

She is very pretty

[Sally Ings]

Lovely portrait Ann, such a beautiful model you have to work with!

[Joan Robillard]

She's a beauty.

[Carole Imes]

After viewing your magnificent shot of this beauty, I officially proclaim you a portrait photographer! Outstanding and a fav.

Stunning portrait and model!

[Pam]

Pretty!

[Rick Schies]

I like the crisp color, and it has a soft look

[aikimomm (phoebe)]

Katie is lovely, and I'd say you are definitely a portrait photographer!

[Kerri]

Awesome portrait

@guernseysue @thresheg @cimes1

Thank you so much Sue, Graham and Carole for the favs!

[Barbara McCahill]

You could have fooled me- lovely portrait

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@barbiws Thank you Barbara! Fortunately for Katie I just met up with a friend from my local photo club this week, who when working was a photographer at the Fashion Institute and we had chatted a little bit about portrait photography. It turned out to be the perfect time to have that fresh in my mind!

[Hazel]

Beautiful and tranquil and like how you used the branches/twigs for background!

[Taffy]

Really well done! She must be thrilled with her photos from today.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

She looks like a natural in front of the camera which makes it so much easier for the photographer! Nicely done, Ann.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@quietpurplehaze Thank you Hazel!
@taffy Thank you Taffy! I don't know who was more excited- Katie because she loved the shots or me because I took them!
@lyndemc Thank you Denise!

[Colleen]

Wonderful

[Dixie Goode]

This has a dreamy, romantic novel cover feel, but so much strength too. I am impressed

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@httpgeffed Thank you Colleen!
@pandorasecho Thank you Dixie! Talk about timing- I got together with a friend from the photo club this week to take a shot of her which she needed for fb. She went over some tips with me as she used to be a portrait photographer at the NY Fashion Institute!

[Ann T.]

I think this is a fabulous portrait. If you are not a portrait photographer, maybe you should be. This is beautiful!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@aat3877 Thank you Ann! I was comfortable here because Katie is my niece and I know her so well, but doing this for strangers might be a bit of a challenge. Katie was saying some of her fellow students would have to schedule both a shooting session and interview session with their photographers so that the photographer would be familiar with their subject's likes and dislikes.

[Julia]

Beautiful!

[Pyrrhula]

A great portrait shot of this beautiful LAdy.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@eudora Thank you Diane!
