I shot a series of senior portraits recently for some of my students, and Sara was the first. It is such an honor to have a fellow photographer ask you to do their portraits. Sara has been up to her eyeballs taking and editing photos for everyone else, so it was my pleasure to give her a chance to be in front of the lens for a change. Sara has been in my photography class for three years now, and I am so honored to have witnessed her love for photography develop and flourish. Over this past year specifically I've gotten to hear Sara excitedly tell me about job after job that she'd booked. I think one of my favorites was the "Coming Home" shoot she did for a soldier who was meeting his new baby for the first time. Such beautiful photos with so much emotion in them. Now she's graduating and really pursuing her dream of doing photography, and I couldn't be more proud :) Sara, I told you that you were my "project" for this year, and I have to say I think it was successful. I can see that you have gained a confidence in your talent and that is what I was after. I've seen you direct a photo shoot with the ease of someone who has been doing it many more years than you have. You are truly awesome and though I will definitely miss having you in class I know that we'll stay in touch. Plus, you're way better than me at updating your blog so I get to see your work all the time :)
