Miss E called for an appointment and I was able to get her in right away. It was just her and I and I honestly think it’s so much fun with just us 2. We laughed and talked and sweated together. Super super sweet. I know of her brother, so we were able to chit chat about him as we started the session, then just talked about so many things the 2 hours we were together. It’s “fair” time, but I thought we could do her session downtown Paso if we did it a littler earlier - hotter, but less people.

I really enjoyed meeting you. As much as you feel awkward in front of the camera, you did really well. I hope you aren’t too critical and like your sneak peeks…. if not, I’m sure Mom will.

Becca's Mom: You look so beautiful, Erin...I love pic #2 and #5

This senior portrait session I was really looking forward to. Why? because Miss M. was bringing her tiny little puppy, who is weighing in about 3 pounds.

Dee: I love these pictures! They're adorable. Miss M. looks like a model. The hardest part is going to be choosing one, because they're all fantastic! :)

Heidi K: Wow, you are definitely rockin' the seniors! I'm not sure which would be my fave... that puppy is adorable and I love her hair blowing in the first one, but the closeup of 3 and the pose and outfit is fabulous in 4... WONDERFUL!!

Then to some cool stairs at a business that was closed

Over to the Grainery where they have great lighting:
One of my favorite things about this image is the “live” in her bracelet

Some fun with an umbrella

Using my “new” old chair

And ending with some sunset

Heidi K: That second one is so much fun! You have a great variety of shots here... I wish you could have done MY senior pics (we don't need to mention it was XX years ago)!! Great job on these :)

I knew B was going to be full of energy and lots of fun. She was up for anything. Just her and I walked around Downtown Templeton for her senior photo session and just had lots of laughs.

Afterward we headed out to Summerwood because she wanted some among the vines. Well, this week I found a great buy at the thrift store and bought an old chair ——— which matched her outfit for the vineyard perfectly, with the sunsetting is is going to be perfect.

Here is just two for tonight, as I am tired and ready to relax. Look for more sneaks tomorrow.

Again, Miss B, you were so much fun! We had some great laughs.
