Picture Monday - Elena

Elena always has a smile on her face, and what a pretty smile it is. She is one of those people who is always ready to help someone else and always has an incredibly positive attitude. I really enjoyed getting to shoot her in lovely Savannah, Georgia which is one of my favorite southern cities. I still try to get back as often as I can to visit and when I get to mix business with pleasure it's even better! Hope you enjoy the images and be sure you are reading the worldwide photowalk blog all this week for tips and info on the photowalk which is coming up this Saturday! If you haven't signed up yet there is still time so go on to http://www.worldwidephotowalk.com/ to sign up for the Sandhills Area walk. Have a great Monday!

This is a portrait of my good friend Elena that was taken outdoors in 100% available light. It was probably early afternoon when this was taken. One of the things that I try to communicate to clients when they are being photographed is that the more relaxed and fun you are, the more relaxed and fun your photos are.

Having your picture taken should be fun ( and yes, this is coming from someone who hated having their picture taken as a child because I was hounded by my mother with a camera - and the best of intentions - my entire childhood). Try not to think about the fact that you are having your picture taken and just focus on having a good time!
