Photo shoot Elementary school.

Dear bloggers,

      On Nov. 9th, 2010 I did a little photo shoot for my friends as practice for me.  I have been interested in photography recently and had to try it out.  I love doing it just as much as I love doing massage therapy.  I also am doing a fun Christmas idea with the photos I took and will be taking of my friends. This one was done at my elementary school which is no longer open because of the economy.  It was such a beautiful day out and I couldn't ask for wonderful friends to help with my passion.
These were my lovely ladies and friends that came out and played with me and had a great time getting pictures done. The two on the left are sisters and I have known them since we were in elementary school. The lovely little girl in the middle would be my "niece". She is the daughter of my friend on the way left in the cream shirt that is also pointing.  The lady on the right is a friend I have known since late middle school. she went to a different elementary school but she came to play and get pictures done because she can! 
This little girl is just full of potential! She had fun coming to her moms old school and playing on all three playgrounds. The top picture I love the most of her pictures cause she is looking at the camera and her smile is just so precious.  The effect I did on the picture turned out great and that is another reason i love the picture. The second picture was just for fun. I love it though.  I had her zip up her coat and pop her collar and just give me a glare look and it turned out great! I laughed after I took the picture cause she would never wear her clothes this way but it was fun none the less.
My next Lady is the mother of the little girl and she has been my friend since kindergarten. These two photos I picked because they were so well done and just the way the angles were and the effects were made these my top two favorites.  The first I love for the fact that the sun was just in the right position to accent her hair color.   I just love the way her hair looked all together. The second one I love because of her eyes.  The way they are popping out at you just makes it amazing. It was fun to think back when we only had one playground set instead of the three there is now. I had so much fun this day!

The next lady in line is this wonderful one! I have know her since middle school and she just loved coming to my old school to play on the playground. The first photo is one her top favorites. I love the genuine smile and the fact she was almost at the top.  I would never make it that far up. The second one is one my top favorites. I love how she didn't really know I was taking the picture.  As you can see growing up is hard and we dont exactly fit into the equipment but we can always find a way to enjoy it.  She proved it in that picture. I like how it turned out after I edited it a little too. 
She also gets one extra picture time. She just recently found out she was pregnant and was kind of upset cause it wasn't in her plans.  Recently though she is becoming more and more happier about it.  I love this picture for the fact that she is looking at her stomach and playing a cute song for her baby. and the slight smile just melts the heart.  I almost started to cry when I saw her do this cause be pregnant is a precious thing and just knowing she has her love her life to support her just makes it ten times better. I also love the edit I did to it too.
Last but not least would be her! She didn't want her pictures taken but she let me take one and here it is. A fun one at that.  The shirt she is wearing is her boyfriend who has been over seas in Iraq for the past 9 months I believe. She did say once her man get back I will be able to take some pictures of them then. Her man is schedule to be home in MN in less then a week I believe! I am so excited for her!


That would be my lovely ladies and there best shots I took. I had so much fun that day and cant wait to do more photo shoots for my friends and family.  It is great learning experience and very enjoyable. But I will have to full finish massage therapy school before dedicating more time to this. so I will leave this as just a hobby now and do it for fun! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and read my blog. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Love,
Elsa J
