graduation pictures

Just sharing a few pictures I took of Cami last weekend -- a super sweet, super beautiful, super young woman about to graduate from high school. Doesn't she just radiate? I forgot how easy it is to photograph someone other than a small child who sometimes needs bribery.







(She LOVES these shoes, so how could I resist?)

Here's a shout-out to all those with graduates in the family this Spring! Congratulations.

Becky,
Great location to take the pictures and it's in my own backyard practically. I have promised to take pictures of my friend, so I'll have to remember to walk down and use the tunnel as a back drop. Thanks for the inspiration.

That girl is so cute. Radiates is absolutely the right word.

Wow! These are really great! I love the last one of the shoes - will be so great in 10 to 20 years. Just wondering how much photo editing you did with these. Like the first photo, did you change the background color? Because it was so complimentary to her hair and skin tone! (so glad you are back to blogging, congrats also)

Hi Becky - I LOVE these pictures. She is such a doll! I especially like the last one - I never thought you photograph just one specific feature of my "subject." I really like the way it looks! Thanks for sharing!!

Becky-
Great Photos! Would you mind sharing what kind of camera you use and at what settings you took the pictures and how much photo editing you did? I am really trying to improve my photograpy, so any pointers are helpful. Great to have you back blogging! :)
Thanks so much-Heather

In addition to all the questions above, what kind of lens did you use? Did you know I bought my Canon 20D 3 yrs ago because you had a 10D? If only the skills to use the thing came with the manual. LOL!

Those pics are beautiful, the top one looks like the cover of a record CD artist.

Me too! I'd love to know the answers to Ian's question re: lens, hgmcconnaughey's question re: camera and settings (I'm assuming it's a Cannon by Ian's post). Love the photos. Please do share if you have a spare minute. Thanks :) I just started photography and would love to learn more. Post-processing info too.

Hi Becky, you did such a good job on these pictures. Can you please tell me how you got her name on the picture? I love the look but am not sure how to do this myself.

Thanks.

Becky,

I love the way the photos show her personality. Any suggestions on how to create this type of personality in every photo?

Reminds me of my daughters Sr. pics last year. The photographer was surprised when she showed up in jeans, no make up and her converse! But that was her style and it was her.

Great pics.
