Over the last few months I have been drawn back to the fun of taking portraits. Often times the hardest part is just finding models (friends) willing to have their portrait taken. This summer my friend Ashley offered to let me take her portrait and test out some new lenses. The pictures were taken in my backyard.

Ashley is one of the most caring, thoughtful and genuine people I know… so catching her without a smile was fun and rare. There were so many great ones to choose from but, with a slight color correction (no retouching), I love how these two turned out. Who knows… Maybe I’ll post a few from her wedding that I took this summer too.

If you are interested in having your portrait taken, let me know! We can probably work something out.
