look! (andrea)

It’s unusual for me to have, shall I say, really cooperative subjects who are willing to sit down and smile at the camera. So this session was a bit of a departure for me, but in a fun way. We were unfortunately derailed a bit by the weather. As I was pulling up, the sky was a bit gloomy, which is fine, and there were some scattered raindrops, which is not great, but still doable, and within two minutes we were treated to some torrential rain and a first class exhibition of real Florida thunder (if you don’t live here, I’ll just say one nickname I’ve heard for our area is the “Lightning Capital of the World”. We ended up with a truncated shoot, but still got some lovely pictures.

I know these two look like mother and daughter–they are actually aunt and niece! There are some good genes here, aren’t there? Katie was down to visit her aunt and enjoy some of our lovely Florida beaches and weather (don’t worry, she did get some of our beautiful sun as well as this incredible storm!). Andrea is actually a model, author, and speaker who has a heart for women and teenage girls to learn about their true beauty.



In a portrait, sometimes it’s fun to have one person step back a little so that the other is the focus. To me, this next image shows a little something more about Andrea and Katie’s relationship–not just the fun side, but I can really see the pride and love and tenderness that Andrea feels for Katie.
