Ready for my closeup
Recently my photographer friend Jim was kind enough to help a sistah out. I needed professional pics for some work related stuff and I figured while I was at it, I might as well get a few photos to send back to the family too.
We made an afternoon of it. I brought my makeup bag, assorted styling aids and a few different outfits over to his place, and regressed to my 6 year old inner child. It was fun to play dress up, but I wish I really could have been as un-selfconscious as my 6 year old self. Why is it so stressful to be photographed?
Just for fun we did some cheesecake shots too. There's no way I'd ever be comfortable enough with another photographer to let them get some of these shots. He would have taken much more risque shots if I would have let him. Are all photographers pervy?
Despite my nervousness, he still did great work. I think the real key is volume! If you just keep shooting, eventually something will look great. Seventeen shots where I look like a troll demanding money before I'll allow you to cross my bridge, and then unexpectedly in the next shot BAM! I'm too sexy for the catwalk!
Photography is such an art.

Hey Md,
Yes i think photography has come a long way since they can take shot after shot quicker as a blink. Puts a lot less pressure on them having to get the right shot where they have one opportunity. Photography always inspires me and i love happy snapping with all of my friends when we are out on out little adventures. I can imagine that your famly would have loved these.
Regards, A
