When I show up to a Senior Session and meet a client for the first time, I never know what to expect as far as their comfort level posing and being in front of the camera. I always have some “go-to” poses and prompts to suggest to help give us both an idea of what is most natural for them and fits their personality. Even if I give the exact same instructions to different people, the result is usually very different. Liz looked natural and great in front of the camera no matter what I asked of her. I often kind of joke and say something like “Look off into the distance like you are just hanging out in the woods in your favorite clothes thinking about life”. When I look at the images from Liz’s session, she totally sells that and makes you believe that’s exactly what was happening and that me and my camera just happened to stumble across her. I love her cool, artistic vibe and think it definitely comes through in her photos. She would love to study illustration and creative writing so maybe she was thinking about what to create next? I think if that doesn’t work out she could have a future at modeling or acting though, don’t you?
