When I first met with Fair, I came in a few minutes late from our scheduled meet up time, because I left later than expected from a hair appointment. With wet hair and a fresh strip of really dark blue down the left side of my head, I am sure I looked a bit freakish and frazzled walking into Starbucks. Thankfully, Fair was sweet and gracious, and we had a great little chat there in the crowded coffee shop. She loved my work and really wanted to have me do her senior portraits – and I was so thankful we hit it off and scheduled her session. I really think a great portrait session has a lot to do with how comfortable you are with your photographer, so I always recommend meeting up before hand if possible.
The day of Fair’s session, we loaded up in my car and went downtown, and for the first 10 minutes or so of shooting, Fair giggled with uncontrollable laughter every time I pointed the camera toward her. I don’t know if she was nervous or what, but it was just the cutest thing! Thankfully, my super Spokesmodel, Courtney, was there to assist, and soon enough Fair had relaxed and gave it all she had. And the images, oh my, the images turned out amazing.
This tree – I am so in love with this tree. Growing up, I had a weeping willow in my backyard, and I can still vividly recall the summer days I spent laying out (I KNOW) with Sun-in in my hair and coconut scented tanning oil on my legs. With my eyes closed, I day dreamed while listening to the gentle rusting of the tree in the breeze. To me, it screams summer time.
