She is 12 years old and full of life. She's a tad timid, a whole bunch of nice and has the sweetest voice. I fell in love with her as my subject quickly! I knew the moment I saw her beautiful blue eyes that this was going to be one of my best photo shoots yet. Yeeeaaaaaah!
Leanne is a typical, yet exceptional pre-teen. She had a lot to chat with me about, specifically friends and music. We snapped a few shots of her on my brand spankin' new wrought iron bed to get her warmed up to me and my shooting style. Then we hit the ever popular white leather chaise lounge I bought from VCF and got some amazing shots there! Finally, we headed back to my prop room and took some shots in front of the black background and the vintage black and white background. I had my mac desktop set up with itunes blasting through the speakers. Of course I had the most popular songs downloaded and playing - Hey just because I'm almost 28 years old doesn't mean I can't keep up with the hottest tunes. We had so much fun and talked about a possible future photo shoot. And boy do I have a ton of ideas for her and her friends!
Leanne - you are an amazing person and a beautiful girl. I love your eyes and your awesome sense of style. The zebra shoes were too cute! I would absolutely be honored if you would like to model for me in the near future. If
your mom says it's ok of course!
Ok, no more waiting...here is more of Leanne.
She is gorgeous! What I love most about this shoot is that...well, you know, 12 is such a tough age for girls. I think that doing a shoot like this helps girls, who see so many of the WRONG images every day, to hold in their hands an image of their own true beauty. I also really like how the photos are age-appropriate...not too grown-up, just honestly letting her beauty and personality shine through.
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much Jen! That was exactly what I was aiming for with this photo shoot and many more special ones just for girls in the future. It's so important for self-esteem and it's my mission to help make girls of all ages get that feeling and know they are truly beautiful inside and out! Your comment made my day :)
