I had a session with Heather Lynn Johnson in Harker Heights.  We went to a local park for the shoot.  The problem was the sun was absolutely terrible.  It was mid day, and bright.  Since there were no leaves left on most of the trees, there was little actual shade.  It was almost like a fight.  I kept trying to get her to turn her head for decent light, but every time I did, she couldn’t open her eyes because the sun was so bright.  It turned out that I was able to get some good pictures.  So, it wasn’t a total loss. The one above was somewhat of an accident.  Out of the camera, it was way overexposed.  But, in Aperture, I reduced the exposure, and the result was this picture.

I got some pretty even lighting on this one, and I really like the way it turned out. There was a tree that forked at the ground, and she could lean into it and lay her head on it.

She brought several changes of clothes, and from the beginning, she said she had a black dress that she thought would be really good to twirl around in.  The problem was the terrain didn’t suite wearing heels.  She did several twirls, and some of the shots came out great.  Then I had her walk towards me, and this was one of the best of the day.
