This week I finished up editing pictures of this beautiful young lady. Not only is she beautiful on the outside, but she has an amazing spirit on the inside. She has in incredible talent of playing the violin and I have been lucky to watch her over the past several years Irish Dance. She has such a tender heart for animals as I saw while we were walking around doing pictures and stumbled upon a little snake which she immediately picked up to hold. It was an honor to have her as my first girl senior that I have gotten to do. I look forward to many more senior girls. Thank you Ella for the wonderful time with you! You are a wonderful young lady who is making a difference in this world. :)

I was very excited to see my image was selected as one of the Top 10 images for a theme of Mother Nature on the FB photography page "The Masterpiece".  It is quite the honor when you can have your image featured on a page and selected like this. Happy dance happening over here!

My daughter had asked me to take some pictures of her while we were watching my other daughters softball game. She picked the location and we just went at it. She wanted to sit in the midst of a field weeds, so I had my f stop low in order to give that nice blur affect. I brightened her eyes a little to make them pop. But, it is one of my favorite images of her so I am entering it in this months Rock the Shot B&W Portrait Challenge. You can check out Rock the Shot forum here --> www.rocktheshotforum.com.
