They were looking for a photographer for their official portrait and fortunately enough for us they liked what they saw.<\/p>\n<p>A week later I met with Mayor Jeffrey Bannister and his very helpful and friendly assistant, Tina Lee to see what was required of me. Typically I shoot families and children in a rather informal style so being asked to do such a formal and official portrait had me a little concerned to say the least. Having seen what I was up against the challenge I set myself was to create the most professional, the most flattering and the most attractive portrait to date.<\/p>\n<p>Well last night was the night of our portrait session with the Mayor and Mayoress. I had expected to feel nervous given that I&#8217;m much more comfortable photographing children. However Jeffrey and Tricia are such friendly and pleasant people that I soon felt complete confidence that this shoot was going to be successful and relatively painless. And I have to say that it was.<\/p>\n<p>Together we created an image for which I am very proud. I now feel that I have the confidence to do such formal images at any time in the future. Its not something that I would worry about again.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221767517000681042\" src=\"http:\/\/bp3.blogger.com\/_o819gUGKYGQ\/SHdx4_5_xlI\/AAAAAAAAAGg\/H0GysIotsSw\/s400\/0807_3005+Low+Res.jpg\" style=\"cursor: hand; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;\" \/><br \/>Jeffery and Tricia, if you are reading this, it was a pleasure to photograph you both. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and am very pleased with the results. I hope you are as well.
