all the standard images

This may be embarrassingly late in being posted, but I just had to post some images from the awesome session I had with Becky. Back in the fall, Becky and I got together for a fun, early morning (7 am!) shoot around downtown Wamego. I was excited that she was so willing to try out all sorts of fun locations that I had scouted out.

Here are some of my favorite images from the shoot:

We found some very cool concrete pipes all stacked up that made for a fun background.

She loved both of these, and I just loved what the funky processing did with her eyes:

I’m not a professional. I just pretend to be. Or try to be.

Ok. I want to be.

And occasionally, that results in a photo shoot with a friend.

My very first shoot ever–as in, planned, set aside, executed–was for our babysitter. She was a senior in high school, nearing the end of the year, when we discovered that she hadn’t had her senior portraits done. I was wanting to try my hand at photography work, she wanted pictures done…it was an easy arrangement to make.

We shot most of the session at Wamego City Park around sunset. I really was just starting out, so most of the images are, in my opinion, passable, but nothing to scream about. I wanted to present a couple of the images from the session anyways, just to have a reference point to look back on to see progress.

So, here’s a couple of my favorites:

And this is the one she sent out as her graduation announcement:
