Young Love:)

I'm sure most of you have heard me mention Kari Layland, the photographer who I've been assisting and who has been "mentoring" me along. Yesterday evening I had the honor of doing a photo shoot for her! It was SO fun!

I would LOVE to take all the credit for these shots, but I can't. I must give credit where credit it due. Thank you Kari for setting up these shots, choosing the awesome locations,metering and post-processing the images. Thank you Jodi for helping with posing, watching for details and holding the reflector. And thank you Bob for being so willing to do whatever:)

Kari wanted me to use her camera which was a bit of a challenge since my camera is a totally different brand. It was tricky to quickly navigate her camera to change the settings, that is why I had her do the metering. It made things go much more smoothly. We used her 70-200mm lens, which is a beast of a lens. It is very heavy!

Stunning job, Shawna! These pics are just amazing. You did a great job, and nailed everything to perfection. Not an easy job when you're shooting with a camera that is unfamiliar, but you totally rocked it!!! WTG, I am so proud of ya! :)
