Shooting Penny
Note to self: If you’re ever in a foul mood, just grab your camera and go shoot Penny :)
Yesterday was the most fun photo shoot I’ve ever done. Penny, one of my co-workers, wanted a portrait done for Christmas, so we met up yesterday afternoon. The elusive Mike Autry eventually joined us, and the three of us commenced to laugh our way through the afternoon – and I’m talking about the bent-over double, laughing-til-you-cry kind of laughing. I had 5 out-takes for every serious picture. Why can’t photography always be like that?
Kudos to Mike for taking this behind-the-scenes shot (well, technically, he ALWAYS does this, but I particularly liked this one, even though part of me is thinking “I leave my house looking like that? What is WRONG with me?”):
Right after this was taken, I took a shot that I think might be one of my most favorite shots ever. It isn’t technically perfect – the focus isn’t exactly right, and there was some camera shake – but I love it anyway. Thank you, Penny, for being such an extraordinary model!

Behind the scenes shots are my specialty! :) And that one of Penny is really awesome!

Could you kindly make sure that I don’t look like ass next time? Thanks :)
