Portrait of a Lady
Photo taken by Cicely
I had mentioned in my Piper post that I was working my way up to people portraits. On Sunday, I dipped my toes back into the water. Aside from taking photos of Willie and Cicely together, I wanted to take some portraits of Cicely. She’d recently lost a significant amount of weight and deserved to have photographs that celebrated her success. Not to mention, she tried to do some self-portraits and they did not do her any justice at all. {They were bad, really bad}
It was a beautiful day. It was sunny and warm and a tad bit breezier than I would like. You’ll see why in a bit. We headed off to Memorial Park after a very late Brunch. The place was packed. So, we found a less traveled area on the fringe of the park.
It took me a bit to get warmed up. I had forgotten how to pose people. Thankfully, she was very patient. I didn’t get as many good shots as I would have liked since I forgot my flash and my reflectors. {Doh!} Most of my portraits were taken with natural light and some on camera flash usage for fill.
Here are a few of my favorites:

The shots where the sunlight is directly shining through the trees are great. I think this is an awesome thing to add to the “stuff I do with my best friend” list.
I dig the photos they look great. Keep doing the thing!
