...the lovely Miss ~S~...

...psychology major with an interest in pschytsophrenia and children's psychology, collector of shoes and exquisite aprons, fashionista and simply gorgeous woman...

We had so much fun yesterday...She is graduating from Fort Lewis College next month and wanted to have a photo shoot in honor of it...

What a fabulous idea, don't you think?!  I wish I had done that when I graduated from FLC...

She said she chose me based on the different take I had on portraits and she liked that...what a HUGE compliment...!

Miss~S~ was just plain gorgeous and fun to be around...we jaunted everywhere in Durango too...we went up to FLC of course, we found some rusted cars that were just waiting for us to use on a local county road and we even happened to run into a friend of mine who let us borrow his fabulous orange truck for a few shots...

And ~S~'s mom came for half of the session and I just loved seeing the mom-daughter bond and relationship between them...it was very special...

~S~...you are so beautiful and I am SO honored that you chose me to capture this significant moment in your life...I can't wait for you to see all of the photos...

...p.s. we were taking photos under the bridge and this man reading nearby stopped me while I was taking photos of ~S~ and said "aren't you going to use a flash?" and I said "nope, I don't use a flash at all in any of my photography..." and I then proceeded to show him the next image after I shot it...I think he was pleasantly surprised as he said "ohhhh wow" in a very positive way...yay, maybe I inspired someone to try something new...:)
