Portrait: Opal

I love a lot of things about being a photographer, but definitely one of the top things is my clients. Every client I meet is different and unique, but they are all just so dang nice and lovely. Being able to do what you love, with people you enjoy being around right off the bat, is magic and a total dream come true.

The minute I spoke to Opal on the phone, I knew I'd like her. She was so easy going and silly (2 of my favorite qualities!). She had amazing spots already picked out for us to shoot at, and had already determined that her horse Tizzy just had to be in the photos (YAY!). I had never photographed a senior with her horse before, but I've actually been dreaming of a shoot like this for awhile. So much so, that one of my senior representative (photographs soon to come) will involve a senior with her horse. Opal was so laid back, effortless, and she gave the photos her all. A lot of people, when I first talk to them, are really nervous about not knowing what to do. I certainly don't blame them, I tend to be quite shy and being in front of a camera with someone I don't know, is enough to give me a heart attack. But the best thing you can do is just let your inhibitions go, and just rock it for the gorgeous person you are. Opal did just that and I was so proud of her.

Her and Tizzy were adorable together, and I hope that the pictures captured their intense love for one another. Opal, you are a total doll, and I hope you love these photos as much as I do. I can't wait to bring you your flash drive later today.
