Photo Shoots with Andrea





































These are just a few of the shots from my two photo shoots with Andrea. She was so gracious and patient with me as I am trying to get back into shooting portraits again. Been a lot of years. Most of my shooting in the last few years has been sports photography, so it is a change. In sports photography, you just have to capture the moment as the athletes go though their regular routines. I don't have to direct the shot, just capture it!

Working with Andrea has been a real pleasure. Like I said, she has been real patient with me a I try to get back into the routine of communicating with her the vision I see in my mind's eye and directing her to achieve it. The ability to put the model at ease by building trust and a rapport is definitely where I need the work. I can get the shot technically, but right now it is just not second nature to direct my model with ease. As you can see, she is a real doll and easy on the eyes. Thank you Andrea!
