Jaicey likes having her picture taken about as much as I do, which is to say, not very much at all. She is a visual artist, particularly interested in animation, and she prefers to be the observer rather than the observed. She was doing her duty as a good daughter getting her senior pictures taken, and I will say that she was fabulously dressed in a navy tux that fit her perfectly.

Perhaps it was her experience with studying facial angles, but she caught on very quickly where her ideal head position should be by watching my camera position in relation to her. After telling her where to hold her chin on two different camera angles, I don’t think I had to tell her to raise or lower her chin for the rest of the session–she just anticipated it. She also had a lovely soft smile and an absolutely charming full smile, which was more rare, but all the more worth waiting for.

The forecast had not been reassuring, since it had rained earlier and was threatening to rain more, but we had sun and enough clouds to make the sky interesting, with a bit of color at the sunset. On the way home, I got to enjoy a big, orange, full moon for about ten minutes, before the rain started, and I felt very grateful that we had managed to finish our session in good time.
