In October, I did a mentoring session for a budding photographer. Kenzie was our “model” and the daughter of a mutual friend, KIm. I am working on setting up a formal mentoring program for next summer, and have done just a few this year, which have been good learning experiences for me, as well as them! I enjoy having just one or two people to teach at a time. I am pretty excited about the possibilities!
Side note: Kenzie’s mom Kim does these great tree paintings that I am just in love with! Check them out in her Etsy store.
So back to Kenzie. We just shot around my house and at a park a few blocks away. Kenzie was wonderfully patient, as we stopped often for questions and answers. She was super fun to photograph and has the most amazing blue eyes. I did NOT enhance them in these photos and she doesn’t wear colored contacts. Wow!
Note: I have some sessions I wrote blog entries for before I embedded the EXIF data into my photos, so for the next few entries, the settings will still be in my posts.
