Great location, and what a beautiful girl. Sheesh, they grow up fast don’t they. Seems just yesterday I shot that photo of your little girl in the fluffy dress amoungst the flowers. I certainly see the resemblance to dad there.

Wow, your little girl is all grown up. She sounds amazing and she is beautiful. She has your smile. I remember her with a face full of peas at one of our Thanksgiving feast. Time flies. Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks Gary! Haven’t heard from you in a while. Your seniors have been looking great, btw.

All of these were done with available light. The field image involved a reflector and that was it.

The car was awesome. They were filming a horror movie at the location we were shooting and the vintage car belonged to someone on the movie set. I kept a safe distance and used it in the background, but never put Kara in the car. I do have some other images with the car more pronounced.

Thanks Gary!

Randy,

What a beautiful young lady. My favorites are #1 (Inside standing) – Great location and lighting, #2 (Through the window), #9 (Freedom) – You can read a lot into that one, #10 (In the field) – I like your technique on this one. Is that an old car in the background of #12, any images of her with it?

Thanks Mat…

First of all, she was NOT unattended. Well, kind of, but I just turned my back to walk to my camera. Alright, she was unattended. Sigh.

I appreciate the recommendation. That was an amazing photographic playground. I’d like to go back up there again sometime.

Tammy…yeah, I will consider the shot of Kara and I…it’s on my Facebook album. Isn’t that enough?

Randy, it was such a great privilege to finally get to shoot with you. I was so honored to be allowed to tag along while you photographed your beautiful, intelligent and all around great daughter. It’s quite simply a testament to her intelligence that she would choose such a great photographer for her portraits. You did an amazing job and she is a great model.

I can tell you I am incredibly relieved the site worked out. The guilt would have consumed me though probably not nearly as much as had I left my two year old unattended on a stool to fall…yowza!

It has been so amazing watching Kara grow up into the fine young woman she is today. She is so beautiful, smart, funny and (just like her dad) rebellious in many ways! I love these photos. They really capture her personality! I wish you would’ve thrown the one of the two of you in there. I love seeing photos of you with your daughters and I’m sure so would the rest of your fans!
