I typically haven’t shot much fashion/modeling photography. Not because I wouldn’t want to, but more for reasons of familiarity. I am used to being the fly on the wall, capturing moments as they happen naturally. So directing people and making a model (a very new model at that) feel comfortable is all new ground to me.

So when I was approached to do some photos of this young lady, I was probably just as nervous as she was. Needless to say, we warmed right up to each other. Talked of traveling the world among other life goals. She is such a beautiful woman at only 15 (I know!?) and I had such a great time getting to know her.

Also, on a side note…the pants she is wearing in the last few photos are from her grandfathers WWII uniform. I thought that was pretty awesome.
