The Photo Shoot

My granddaughter Emily will be a senior this year so it was time for graduation photos.  She had an earlier session with a professional photographer, but now it was time to pull out the big guns...Kiersten and myself.

We started out with the blue dress and by the vines near a pretty bridge. 

I was not able to achieve quite the stance that Kiersten did, nor did I try.

We stopped from time to time for the sisters to inspect the images gathered.  Kiersten is a natural with the camera so I let her do the bulk of the work here.

They did several shots on the bridge, I liked the concept of having her look out into the sky and being the good granddaughter she is, she humored me.

Then it was time for a wardrobe change.  I took her over to a nice alcove near the building that would shelter her from view and at the last minute noticed there was some kind of class going on inside.  Ooops.  We almost made some old guy's day but then adjourned to the car for the clothing switch.

Then it was into the goldenrod and tall grasses with the second outfit.  I love her in this outfit, it just seems to sum up her personality so well.

 I spotted the bench to try some sitting shots.

This really shows off those gorgeous long legs of hers.

Then Steph wanted to get a photo of the three of us and I couldn't resist hamming it up with a flower between my teeth and didn't even know Kiersten was biting the other end until I downloaded the images.

I thought this was all done, but no...off to another park.

This park is rented out for a lot of weddings and luckily the reception party that was supposed to be there didn't show up, so we had plenty of time to take in the hydrangeas.

This had extra meaning as the girls other grandmother had recently died and she loved hydrangeas so it had a bittersweet mood.

It was a lovely day spent with three of my favorite females.

Long Live the Queen
