A lot of my early photoshoot practice was through giving volunteer service at church. This is a photoshoot I did for the "Young Women" group at church--teenage girls ages 12-18. It was during their weekday activity night and so I had to work against the clock in a race to beat the fading light that evening. I was mostly successful. You can tell which ones are grainy as the light got dimmer. And for the girls that weren't there on the original night, I took their photos after church one Sunday, and you can tell comparatively how much the lighting was improved. Regardless of lighting issues, it was so much fun to work with this girls! They really worked their magic in front of the camera and I enjoyed being able to work one on one to pull out each of their personalities when it was their turn. It was also fun trying to get creative with the limited location of the church grounds and any fun prop we could find there. Like this velvet chair we carried outside to use. And the frame borrowed from a friend was pretty cool. But some of my favorite photos are just head shots of these girls' beautiful faces and the glow of goodness shining through their eyes. I'm so proud of these young ladies and their courage to find and be the good in the world! I will gladly take their pictures anytime!
