Roxxxxannnnee… you don’t have to put on the red light.  Roxxxanne….you don’t ha… oh, sorry forgot this was a blog and not my shower.  Um.. on with the post:

A young and shy girl by the name of Roxanne came to us and wanted some professional looking portraits done.  Her fiance was stationed in Iraq, and she wanted to send him some nice pictures for his birthday.  I thought that it was a very nice gesture, and I wanted to help her get some great pics.  She wanted some nice portraits, but nothing too formal.  Contemporary portraits… got it.  She was also quite shy and had never done a photo shoot, so it took a few minutes to work the Sahid charm and get her to relax and have fun.  By the end of the day, she was directing me and suggesting shots!  Half way through the shot, I thought it would be cool to incorporate an Army theme. I decided to get my US Army jacket and my aviators, and let her rock them for the shoot. All in all, I had a great time with Roxxanne, and we got some killer pictures.  The picture where she’s standing in the middle of the road with her hands behind her (#8)… is still one of my all time favorite shots.

The look on her face when she saw the final pictures… priceless.
