our friends p & e called me last week, said their
darling granddaughter was in town and would you want to do her senior photos? of course i would want to do her senior photos. and i've had my eye on this great little place downtown that i've wanted to shoot for a while.
perfect. we'll come on tuesday. of course, tuesday it rained - because this is florida and it rains EVERY afternoon in florida. but we're all fairly flexible this summer, so we rescheduled for wednesday.
the local art league owns these two 1920s spanish-style houses that have been renovated as an art gallery and a studio for art camp. that sounds so vague. fine art? music art? painting? mosaics? chalk? pen/ink? what kind of art?! anyway. the houses are purple, green, yellow, orange - just amazing crazy colors. why i haven't done any work there yet, i have no idea! and the most perfect part is this: the houses close at 2pm, so all afternoon & evening their yards and porches are free for sitting and shooting and being creative!
b was just amazing - she talked and giggled and was a little bit shy at first (especially with an audience of her grandparents and my husband - we had to send them off to talk). but she was really sweet and told me about school and softball and what she thinks she wants to do for college...and she listened to my crazy stories as we wandered around the art league houses. i LOVE these images!
