Sometimes you get a chance to take pictures of something really important. I admit, at some level most of what I get to do has importance in some small way. But when I get to try to make a portrait of someone, especially someone with a great deal of life ahead of them, I feel it is something really really important. Andi has some pretty neat parents and I think she is on her way to living a very bright intelligent life. She is bright as can be and could see right through me as I tried to get her to do certain poses that she just refused to do--and rightly so. A pose has to be felt to work--and if she didn't feel--why waste her time. I don't know how great I did in capturing Andi, but I did have fun trying to find in her moving around a nice portrait and some fun little moments, I do think that the pictures I took of her with her blanky and sunglasses on will be my favorites when I get to really editing and toning the pictures, but truthfully...I wanted to pick these pictures to show because its my birthday today and I know my mom will like these pictures and I wanted to thank her for having me 45 years ago. She doesn't know this little girl, but I know she'll just love her after seeing these pictures--who wouldn't. Thanks Andi and Lori and Pete! More coming soon I promise! SayerMotter Photographs by
