And it was a fantastic opportunity for me because it allowed me to create both artistic portraits with heart and soul as well as fun, lively portraits with laughter and brightness.&nbsp; This is everything I can hope for in an ideal session for myself.&nbsp;

To my surprise and delight the dark, highly stylised portraits were on the cards.&nbsp; But as this young lady was just 11 I saw an opportunity to provide her with an exciting experience as well.&nbsp; So I suggested she choose a colour for the background and to bring along some of her favourite fun clothes and hats and she can be a model for the afternoon.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-oQX3lu0hSO8\/UdreA8mXXfI\/AAAAAAAACEQ\/S791_f01bos\/s1600\/1306-2274.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em;

I got two images I&#8217;m absolutely in love with to add to my ever increasing collection of fine art imagery, both of which&nbsp;being images chosen by&nbsp;her parents as well.&nbsp; My eBay find of the chest of drawers is proving to be very useful and fits so well into my vision for this style of portraiture.&nbsp; I already have some new ideas for it, along with a chair I recently purchased and a few props I&#8217;ve arranged to borrow from a local supplier (to be revealed only on completion).&nbsp; <\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;

This beautiful young lady was so at ease in front of the camera her posing just came naturally.&nbsp; I offered little direction because she seemed to know what to do all on her own.&nbsp;&nbsp;And once the jumping started the smiles were free flowing.&nbsp;
